Review of Kaguya-sama: Love is War -Ultra Romantic-
To the future-watcher considering Love is War Ultra Romantic: Love is War has taught me that comedy can successfully thrive in a televised series without it being the main staple. Aka Akasaka’s story has been written with such attention to detail to the development and pacing of the scenes and characters to the point that I have been taught many lessons about myself from enjoying his novel. With this season of Love is War, Ultra Romantic, I’ve learned a lot about myself and others from the distinct personalities that are evolved, expressed, deconstructed, and narrated to the viewers through our cast of characters. From Hayasaka’s unraveling complications,to Kaguya’s complexity of expecting actions from others without motive, and most importantly Shirogane’s revaluation of himself as a person has taught me multiple misconceptions of myself as a person as well as the actions I take around others. To be able to enjoy such thought provoking ideas while enjoying a, for a lack of better words, beautiful constructed story has been a dream for me.
I leave Love is War Ultra Romantic with hopes to grow as a person, not hoping for the next season to top it off, but rather knowing that this moment was given to me to fully live it. I hope that you do as well. Love is War Ultra Romantic will forever stand-out as a narrative that achieves an inexplicable formula of love, growth, comedy, and life.
That is all the thoughts I leave you with, so do yourself a favor and watch the anime if you have not already!
