Overview
Wakana Gojo is a high school boy who wants to become a kashirashi--a master craftsman who makes traditional Japanese Hina dolls. Though he's gung-ho about the craft, he knows nothing about the latest trends, and has a hard time fitting in with his class. The popular kids--especially one girl, Marin Kitagawa--seem like they live in a completely different world. That all changes one day, when she shares an unexpected secret with him, and their completely different worlds collide.
Reviews
Overall, this was a very pleasing and enjoyable anime. I am starting to get more into anime as a genre, and I decided to watch this since my Instagram feed was recommending me posts with this anime on it. So I got a Crunchyroll subscription to see, and I would say it was a good idea.
I am finding myself to like anime more and I watch more of it cause I feel like a lot of the creators behind them have very strong material to work with or they are just very good at what they do coming up with a story and executing it well. And along with that, I think I am really enjoying these little slices of life stories that are set in an everyday world and has a story of characters interacting and getting to know each other.
What I like most about this series is the characters. I think Gojo and Kitagawa have a really strong character from the start and their characteristics are consistent throughout. The audience is getting to know them as the characters get to know each other. You will remember the way they talk, act, and think. Personally, I think characters are the most important part of any story, movie, or TV show. And this show had some really memorable ones that kept me invested. I am also surprised how interesting I found the show for even things that you think wouldn't be, like when characters talk about their interests in detail. Speaking of, I commend the writers for actually researching about the stuff their characters are interested in because it makes the show feel more alive and authentic. I think overall, while the show isn't perfect, it was better than I anticipated and I really recommend this show for those who think they might have even remote interest.
I hope also this comes out on a blu ray someday, I would definitely buy it.
