Naisho no Tsubomi · review
OH BOY, I WISH I HAD THIS WHEN I WAS A YOUNGER! This was a lot more useful than the book my mom read to me when I was a young teenager. The Story: The story was very good and relatable for me. As, a lot of what happened in there, I can still remember going through pretty well. So it was also pretty nostalgic! The story though isn't anything special compared to other animes. To be honest, it really lacks luster. That being said though, I won't take back saying the story was very good, because of the type of story it is. Most things likethis are very gross and boring, and I just wanted to get away from all this type of stuff when I was small. Now, I'm an adult so I might be wrong, but I think this would've held my interest as for every "gross thing related to growing up happened" it was paired with cuteness! And extra points for there being a baby and romance! Yes, I was even a hopeless romantic as a child and I always loved babies. But that's just me :p
I'll give the story an 8.
The Art:
The art was very cute! That's the whole reason I watched it! I didn't think it would be about puberty, lol. That's all I really have to say on it, just understand I liked the cute characters.
I'll give this a 6
The Sound:
The sound was okay, just that, I don't remember any of the soundtracks though...
So I guess another 6
The Characters:
I felt the characters were really well done, of course, I'm older now, but I related to the main character a lot concerning somethings, of course, though that's all I'll say on that :p
Now back to the review.
The characters all felt like children to me, not like loli's and whenever something a bit perverted happened it felt natural as it was. They're just human beings going through puberty which anyone can say is rough. Considering this is anime, I was pretty surprised by it. Now, of course, there are some really perverted things concerning two characters. But really, what do you expect from someone that age, it's also part of growing up and puberty to think of things like porn. So I wasn't to bothered by it. I would've been though if they really lewd the characters.
I'll give this one a... 7
Now, before I get to enjoyment lets talk about the elephant in the room, I left out someone really big, and that is Saya. All I will say is that she is very mysterious and to watch for yourself if you want to know, cause talking about it will just cause spoilers.
The Enjoyment:
I'm an adult, so I didn't enjoy this as much as I make it out to be. Just I feel this was really well done for what it is, and actually thinking about buying a copy now and saving it for if I become a mother one day. Although I think girls would like this more than most boys, after all, it's really cute and mainly deals with what girls have to go through. But there are still things about boys too though.
I say I enjoyed this about... hm... I'll say a 5
Overall:
Overall I feel like this short series is amazing for the type of anime it is. For my list, I rated it either a 9 or an 8 due to how impressed I was at it. So I will say a nine here as well. Just understand this isn't for everyone and I wouldn't really tell someone to go watch it.
Thank you for reading my review and have a nice day! Hope this helps!
