I bashed the anime in season 1. I loved the anime is season 2. THEN, I read the manga. THE MANGA IS FANTASTIC! HOLY MOLY! I can not stress how much the characters grow in this and how much you feel for em. They go from weird rejects to relatable and deep. ESPECIALLY when the manga starts to go pass the anime. In several volumes, they grow so much. There isn't much I can say about the parts of the anime covered that I didn't already say in the anime reviews. I mean... It is kinda the same? Yet different slightly. Then the post anime storyhits. It hits hard. Characters learning to confront their emotions, learning to let go, friendships blossoming, love blooming. It really is amazing.

The story is good but let me touch on one thing. The Art. THE ART! The art starts off weird. The characters don't really seem well drawn at first. I mean it's fine, but off. Then I noticed something. The art of the series gradually improved as the characters grew and matured. Seriously. Compare Yozora and Kodaka from the first chapters to the later chapters (78-84) and put them side by side. It's like looking at weird kids to detailed young adults. Like 2 different characters. This HAS to be a stylistic choice. If it is, it is an amazing one. I loved watching everything gradually improve. The art. The characters. The Story. I can't recommend this enough. I hope the ending turns out as amazing as the story so far. Especially since this is to do somethings different than the LN. Here's hoping.
Story, Art, Character, Enjoyment, Overall: 10/10 Poop jokes included.
