Review of Kaguya-sama: Love is War -Ultra Romantic-
I am utterly blown away by this season and it's finale. I'm a manga reader so I knew what was going to happen, and I was able to guess by it's pacing, and it still got me. I thought it was a normal 12 episodes, lost my mind at the cliff hanger, and came back down to earth when episode 13 started playing. Seeing the culmination of all of the excellently complex characters at the end of the culture festival was incredible, even better than I remember feeling when I read it. It's funny till the very end, without undermining it's most impactful moments witha cheap jab or gag, it never undermines the it's own characters.
I literally popped of, the way you would at a goal or a touch down. I kept throwing stuff at the wall and punching my bed. I was screaming.
When I read the scene in episode 13 I knew that it wasn't just one of the best romance scenes i'd ever watched or read, it's one of the best scenes PERIOD.
It's a spectacular show of every theme and character point leading up to this.
Absolutely incredible. Every part.
