Review of Ya Boy Kongming!
Paripi koumei is a very unexpected anime from this anime season. After finishing the anime, I feel the need to give this a review as this is one of my favorite anime for many reasons that I would explain within this review. Story : 9/10 The story of paripi koumei is a nice blend of isekai (kinda) and music. This premise is very unique and I've never seen a premise like this from other animes that I have watched. In my honest opinion, the characters are the reason why this anime is as good as it is. This anime is very refreshing because it is somethingthat I genuinely never seen before. Maybe it's because of the lack of anime I've watched, but honestly everything about the story is just class. Some plots of the story I feel like is lacking a bit is probably the relationship between nanami and eiko. I felt that the story could flesh out the relationship between the two slightly more, but overall, the story is really good.
Art : 9/10
I have to give it to P.A Works, this anime is very well animated. Nothing awkward done in terms of camera angles and the usage of things like cgi is very minimal. The color palate used is very nice and blends with the emotions felt from the anime very well. The color language is on point for most parts and I do very much enjoy it.
Sound : 10/10
For this section of the review, I would discuss about the music as it is still considered as sound lol. The songs are on point. Kuroneko (96Neko) and Lezel did an amazing job with the endings, and their respective songs which are part of the narrative. Be Crazy For Me is an amazing showcase of kuroneko's voice and really displays her character very well. Underworld is probably one of my favorite ones from this entire anime which was done by Lezel. They also smashed it out of the park with Kibun Joujou (The anime's ending) which is a throwback to a certified hood classic from the 2006's. Not forgetting to mention, Dreamer, which is Eiko's final song in the anime is absolutely a banger. For these reasons alone, this anime is worth watching for people who love music. (Not gonna forget kabe's rap battle with both sekitoba kung fu and koumei himself, those were pretty creative as well).
Characters : 10/10
To put into short words, I LOVE the characters. They are very smartly written and given proper backstories and motivations to make them feel like a human more than a anime character. I especially liked what they did with Karasawa at the end which I can't really get into because of spoilers. Overall, the word smart is what comes into mind when thinking of the characters because they are very well written and given proper back story. The only character that I feel like is given less development is probably people like the manager, but then again, I don't think he has many significant roles to give a reason to develop the character further.
Enjoyment : 10/10
I fully enjoyed this anime very much. From start to end, I didn't miss a single week of this anime airing and it was such a joy to watch from start to end. I highly recommend this to people who love music and love watching anime revolving around it. I can guarantee that you will enjoy this anime very much. This anime is such a good anime to just sit back and relax and just simply enjoy the anime. Perfect for everyone.
