Review of A Whisker Away

TL;DR review: A Whisker Away is a typical highschooler romance drama aimed towards young teens. From a writing perspective, nothing in this story is innovative, it follows a cookie-cutter "MC sells her soul to the devil without realizing how bad of a trade that was" scenario that then has to be fixed. The characters are typical, with the 'serious on the outside, wholesome on the inside' male lead and an 'overly eccentric and goofy on the outside, yet deeply troubled on the inside' female lead. They both have typical development that you would expect from a 1:40h runtime shoujo movie. The only redeeming aspect of this show isthe art, but even that is nothing special, at least given what I would expect from a movie.
I counted 4 genuinely good background shots and a few good atmospheric scenes. The animation itself was passable, with zero sakuga moments and some blatant animation mistakes.

OST was fine, no tracks stood out, but they did their job.

If you're under 14, you might like it. Anything older and the amount of cringing you will feel will exponentially grow by each year. The art did not justify suffering though this.
