Review of Tsukigakirei

I gave this series a 10, yes. And although I believe that there is no such thing as the 'perfect anime', this show deserves that rating. It's beautiful, the character's are compelling, and although the show may be slightly slow to start, after a few episodes the story truly flourishes. What makes Tsuki ga Kirei so great is just how wholesome it is. Even though I didn't grow up in Japan, and I certainly missed references to specific cultural events/nuances (which simply don't exist in Western culture), I still felt a strong connection and dare I say, relate-ability emanating from the characters. I don't knowwhat it was, maybe it was the amazing animation, the stunning sound track, the great side-characters, but the atmosphere which the show created was one of such warmth I couldn't help but enjoy it thoroughly.

I watched Tsuki ga Kirei in one night. A feat which I sincerely regret. Take your time and enjoy the show, don't just sit up to 2am and watch this anime on your phone. This show deserves to be enjoyed. It's an experience, an immersion.

The series made me feel so many emotions, joy, sadness, anger. Every episode had me feeling something so different, and so strong. Don't just dismiss this as a generic middle-school slice of life. feel. did an incredible job on this show and it deserves more recognition.

I think there's one word which describes this show perfectly - 懐かしい (Natsukashii)
