Review of Horimiya

Welp, sasuga Cloverworks. Finishing all three of their anime this season without any future continuation other than the Special episode of Wonder Egg. If this season was longer, at least 20 episodes, then it would have adapted all the great and high points of the manga. But nah, cloverworks was like "let's just rush this thing so that we won't do another season later lol". The pacing of the anime is so rushed that anyone with more than two brain cells could see that they are skipping a lot of scenes. I'm not even a big manga fan because of how they beat the dead horse, justgoing on and on without any end insight. But if they did one thing correctly, then it's the characters. Here in the anime, there's nothing like that anymore. The characters here are all friends in a superficial level. There's no depth to them nor any development to their relationships. There's no real feelings to their friendship cause the steps in-between their friendship are missing, making their friendship look fake and superficial level.

The animation let's talk about. It's good. But there's no great direction to the animation. A lot of scenes are straight up just from the panels. And in the last few episodes, there's a lot ot off-frames which isn't that noticeable.

The music is pretty lackluster. The op is good, but the ed is pretty decent. The ost is... pretty lacking at times. There isn't one scene that I can remind where the ost is elevating the scene to be rememberable. Nothing.

Overall, still a pretty decent anime. But I'd still recommend the manga over this.
There's a lot of scenes where the jump from between them are pretty bad. There's also the fact that there are two story chapters in the manga that is pretty d*mn shame that didn't appeared here.
(4.6/10)
