Review of Blue Period

Relatable. It’s the main word to explain and portray the Blue Period. As a music artist myself, watching the creative process and struggles around Yaguchi Yatoras journey was a relief to my heart. His adventure starts when he does not know what he wants in his life yet. Being a teenager almost hitting up the college without any career is some of the most common issues in our highschool days. The lack of a will to do something, the comfort zone starts to get on his neck, until soon enough he realises that drawing a paint about a skyline to express himself was the most interestingthing he did in a while and now he has to pursue his artist career dealing with all the pressure that comes along with his choice.

What do I want with my life? Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? Is it good? Why am I not good like him/her? Where do I go now? Am I making any progress? What do I do if everything goes wrong? What do my parents think? Do I care about what other people think? Do people care about what I think? and etc.

I could go on for hours about how many great questions and answers there are in this show to a lot of the dramas about being yourself and creating something by yourself.

The overboard narrative has a fast pace that lacks time to work in characters or moments. There are some ep, that Yatora has an issue in the first half of the episode, and by the end of the second leg he already resolved it and now has another problem to deal with.

This anime can get boring for people who are confident most of the time and always knew what they wanted in life, since they can not understand why someone is taking too long to do something or why are you wasting your time caring about what a random person said to you.

But everybody that has/had any issue dealing with choices and struggles like that, will enjoy and learn a lot with it.
