Review of Land of the Lustrous
this is such a beautiful story that i can relate so much to. so far, it's all been countless metaphors that aren't too pretentious or hard to understand, and i really appreciate that in anime. i feel like land of the lustrous does metaphors incredibly well and accurately portrays the meaning behind them without literally telling you what's going on. also the art is so amazing. usually 3d modeling is kinda frowned upon and seen as lazy in anime, but the animation for this enhances the story so much. i don't think regular animation would have done this show justice. a small detail i noticed and reallyappreciate are the little noises that are usually overlooked are given so much care in this anime. since they're gemstones, they don't have skin, so when they move around, it's a nice sound of dense, glasslike material moving or hitting something. i really loved that tiny detail.
lol i love this so much and can't wait for season 2 i might just pick up the manga because it was so good
