Review of Blue Period

Blue Period is very refreshing to watch. As an artist myself, I can well relate to the artistic journey of Yaguchi. It's very different watching your own "journey" through art through someone else's eyes. Yaguchi starts off as a very conceited, confident, well-behaved honors student. Works like a machine and has no personal touch in anything. Focused solely on meeting "quotas" and others' expectations. A very closed-minded character. He's a very bad match for the art field, since, if you have any experience with it, it usually takes a very open-minded approach to become good. His struggles and hardships as well as victories are all carriedout well throughout the entire series.
The only reason I did not vote this a 10/10 is because, although I do love making art, I do not find this sort of genre my go-to. It lacks the action I like, but I doubt anyone reading this is even here for that. If I liked this type of genre, I would indeed vote it a 10/10.
Although, since it is an ART anime in traditional art colleges, it does have some models posing in nude. It doesn't show anything explicit, but the painting sorta does. The painting is only on-screen for like, at most, 5-10 seconds at a time, if even that. There is also a pretty long scene where two guys go nude and draw themselves, although in this scene there isn't anything explicit shown. These would be in the last three episodes, and it is not sexualized at all. This is also another reason why I didn't vote this 10/10, since honestly I'm not crazy abt these types of things, but for the sake of storyline I kept watching.

It's not an intensely deep anime, but it is a realistic one. A refreshing one.
Also, can I just say, Yaguchi's freakin character design is just **chef kiss** amazing. Seriously, it's just great.
