Review of Tsukigakirei

The first thing I want to note is that there is often budgets when it comes to development, but there are few notable instances when it's distractingly bad. Tsuki ga Kirei sticks out for this. The stiff animation and often inconsistent model dynamics makes it distracting from the overall story, reminding you that you're watching a fictional show that an world immersing romance. After that, the goal is to reflect upon the modern relationships of kids (Or at least that was my impression). Perhaps gone are the days of Toradora where people didn't depend on cellphones to talk and instead did it in person -where the human connection is supposed to be. Perhaps it's mean to show how introverts are connected by technology now. In the end, I found the idea interesting, but the point wasn't very endearing, nor did it really show how their relationship was a by product of it, or otherwise something contingent from that fact. The story overall moves in a muted if not somewhat awkwardly numbed pace - lacking true highs and lows, lacking in depth exploration of the psyche of introverts, which from my experience is fairly vibrant in terms of self doubt and shyness, which again is a muted prospect.

Overall, its not bad, but I disagree with the MAL ratings, it's certainly not an 8. It's good and it carries a premise that is somewhat original. The story is coherent and mostly believable, but its not something I'd openly recommend unless there was little else to watch. It lacks far to much that could have been it, and packs it with mundane chatter and white space.
