Review of Arte

Are you tired of the same modern Japanese settings and want something different? then 16th century Italy might be your thing, in this anime called Arte. Arte is the kinda anime you would watch as a break from big titles. it's short, good, doesn't keep you hanging, and stress free. it shows some of the difficulties women had to go through at those times, but not in a stressful way, as it follows a talented girl from poor noble family, struggling to be a painter. Story: 7 it's a good story really, the settings is a breath of fresh air, and the plot moves somewhere later on, but nothing grand,it's still your average slice of life but with a bit of ''seasonings'' on it, although some might feel it boring, but slice of life is about ordinary day to day life no?

Art: 7
visuals were good but for a show about painting, I was expecting a bit more I guess, but I still liked it

Sound: 8
Sound gets high marks from me I thought the OST were good and I loved the op and ed, and voice acting was decent too

Characters: 6
I thought the main characters were good and some side ones were decent and interesting, but some lacked traits, like you can easily replace most side characters and you'd still get the same result, also even tho the plot is set in 16th century Italy some of the characters reactions felt ''japanese'' which is a bit of a let down but that's a problem from the source material I guess

Enjoyment: 7
as I said Arte is better be watched in breaks between 2 good intense anime
also it's not something to binge in one sitting, even tho I liked it, I did feel bored at times and had to watch something else and then got back to it in doses.

Overall: 7
I'd recommend this if you like slice of life and want to watch something different than your typical generic settings, but if you get bored quickly by the lack actions then maybe this not for you.
