I’m baffled how a human person could write dialogue this unnatural. ![]() These are the actual dialogue lines straight from subtitles. Don’t worry, someone else will be suited for you. It makes sense that we can’t be a couple if we’re not suited for each other. Like, here’s one of the first dialogues that happen in the show: HxH does with magic, YagaKimi does with basic human social interactions, and the result is pure, unadulterated cringe. But at least HxH can be excused for spoonfeeding the workings of a complicated shounen magic system. ![]() Smart stories treat their audience as capable of understanding subtext, implications, and visual storytelling without the need to be spoon-fed everything. Which, of course, makes it the exact opposite of smart. And the reason it allegedly is smart is that it over-explains in excruciating detail every. ![]() It has a reputation of being a “smart” battle shounen. Hunter x Hunter is a long-running Weekly Shonen Jump manga famous for its endless hiatuses. Two romance shows that have managed to do that and, likewise, earn a coveted (10*) rating from me? 'Your Lie in April' and 'Kaguya-sama: Love is War' - the latter is a comedy, both were designed to do very different things from 'Bloom into You', and all three masterfully execute the stories they were meant to convey.Ī yuri series custom-made to appeal to homophobes and perpetuate homophobic/misogynistic stereotypes. I think that's probably the reason it's one of the highest rated yuri shows ever made (despite being "average" or "boring").Īs far as I'm concerned, it's my gold standard - an absolute masterwork that all serious romances should aspire to surpass. It's not crazy or wildly entertaining or anything like that, it just feels insanely personal. I didn't cry because of whatever was happening to the characters, I cried because, for the first time in forever, I remembered what it felt like to be throat-deep in the maw of nascent love and genuinely unsure of what comes next. Sure, it may be wildly different from the actual circumstances, complications, or interactions that you experienced in your youth, but, for me, I swear I could feel Yuu's heartbeat every time she felt Nanami's breath or touch. of your first real romance, down to unintentional manipulation and unbridled adoration for someone who does not deserve it. It is bleeding personal experience from every frame, and blatantly attempts to put you right back into the anxiety-inducing subtleties It may be just an average yuri show with beautiful visuals, but for me this show absolutely screams "I have been here before". Real people make dumb decisions and aren't necessarily that likeable. Real romances aren't necessarily ultra-dramatic or filled with ghost stories or heroics. Despite it's ridiculous premise, this show is just real. Maybe the romance is boring, or the characters are unlikeable, but. Time to write a review of my single favorite Yuri show. Stirred by Touko's elegant manner, Yuu approaches her for advice, only to be bewildered when the president confesses to her! Yuu quickly finds herself in the palm of Touko's hand, and unknowingly sets herself on a path to find the emotion which has long eluded her. ![]() There, she happens upon the seemingly flawless student council president, Touko Nanami, maturely rejecting a confession of her own. Now, having enrolled in high school, Yuu, disconcerted and dispirited, is still ruminating over how to respond to her suitor. The realization hits her: she understands romance as a concept, but she is incapable of experiencing the feeling first-hand. Yet, when her classmate from junior high declares his love for her during their graduation, she feels unexpectedly hollow. She patiently waits for the wings of love to sprout and send her heart aflutter on the day that she finally receives a confession. Yuu Koito has always been entranced with romantic shoujo manga and the lyrics of love songs.
