Review of Whisper Me a Love Song

So this ended up getting a lot of hate because of the struggles with the production quality. And that's fair. Good animation is important to me when I consume anime, so it hurts my soul when something that could be so beautiful becomes offensive to look at. But I think a lot of peoples' attitude towards Sasakoi is frustration with it not living up to the highest standards of quality compounded with the 6 month delay to finish up the broadcast. After re-watching the whole show in 2 sittings before finishing the final 2 episodes, I felt a lot better about it than I didwatching it weekly. The character designs and art are gorgeous, the voice acting is great, the story and drama are compelling, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tearing up at the end.

I'd say the animation only starts to get a little lazy after episode 6, with episode 8 being the worst offender. But it simply just isn't that bad. Not bad enough for me to punish it in the ratings with a crazy low score. I'm quite comfortable giving it an 8 for its emotional impact alone.
