Review of Kaguya-sama: Love is War -Ultra Romantic-

Ultra Romantic. Just seeing that in the title does not give me much thought at first but now it really did stir something up in me after I finished watching this show because it is really the perfect word to describe what I am feeling at the moment while writing this review. Because I am not a big fan of the show and I did not have high expectation before finishing this show, it really did surprise me to see this show actually being ranked as number 1 because I was unable to catch up with the latest weekly episodes to understand the context thatled to such ranking and I am glad since it really was thrilling to binge the rest of the show at once. After finishing this show, it is truly understandable for it to be ranked number 1 even if for a short moment.

Story :
As usual, it is just another mind game to make the other confess first but the way the story develops by placing time limit and the extra scenarios like Ishigami with Tsubame actually gives more life to the story making losing is an option where you still win at the end. I know that is quite generic for everyone since this is rom com but for me this is rom com at its finest. After that, the comedy for this season alone is really plus ultra;) because of how enjoyable and somehow relatable it is compared to the last few seasons. Furthermore, the way the story slowly foretells a little bit of the grand plan is a really nice detail. Thus, the word ultra romantic is perfect to describe this season.

Animation :
I really like the directing and the cinematography for the last few episodes since it truly emphasizes the dual confession arc. Well, it is from A-1 Pictures so it is okay to have high expectations.

Character :
The character development is truly shown in this season and that is what matters. Kaguya and Shirogane really tried their best just to make a confession and yes, it is the same for any other rom com. For me, it stands out even more because the effort is definitely extra and we can see how the show emphasize that effort. Plus, we got extra screentime on Hayasaka and Ishigami so that is also a nice detail on this season.

Conclusion :
It was really nice to see how everything played out because I enjoyed every episode and that is what matters to me. For some of you, it might not be the thing you like and what can be considered as masterpiece but it is still entertaining nonetheless. I hope that the anime industry can continue producing more and more great anime so that there is something that everyone can hold dear.
