Review of Lapis Re:LiGHTs
Lapis Re:LiGHTs (2020) This show was unexpected in the show's story since it did not give much away until it basically started. It comes with a strong start to a dull middle and a rushed ending but it is still a fairly good ride if you enjoy idols and music. It is a really unusual take of the magical realms you normally see since it is filled with so much joy despite awful happenings in the background. Almost the most part of civilization is oblivious to the truth. The show uses mostly a good level of art but at times goes off somewhat unexpectedly bad. Theworst part of this show is the CGI that gets used during the orchestras since it is an appalling change of detail to get those sequences. It is like two different sets of teams made the show and didn't talk to each other on art forms. That said it is still crisp just a bit clunkier. The art when separated falls between good and bad but together is somewhat mediocre.
Sound is the best part of the show. The ED and OP are really good quality but the orchestras are what steals the show since they are diverse and wonderful.
Character development goes pretty deep at times but nothing special is really brought forward about anyone since no one is really very interesting or unique. The main cast set does get some great backstories but some are also left out to an extent. There are many characters you wish to know about.
Kaede, Maryberry and Garnett form the cutest and best girls of the show in my opinion. I often find those who are not the main cast can be more desirable.
I would say the show is very enjoyable from a sound standpoint. The story is somewhat rushed and dull in places but is also well put together.
I would give the show a pretty solid 7/10 despite its flaws on the basis of the music and the enjoyment for the most part. A second season could be welcomed but I also do not think it would be necessarily needed.
