“Blue Box”, despite leaning into a few cliches, especially in its romantic storyline, is a layered and enjoyable watch. Hopefully, it will conclude with its second season by offering meaningful closure to Taiki and Chinatsu’s relationship. Go to Full Review Ayaan Paul Chowdhury The Hindu Apr 2

Jay W @RT52162311 Mar 23 I have never been so invested in a love triangle as I was for this series. I have never rooted harder for someone to win a sporting event than I did in this series. Dang it, this series has hooked me so thoroughly that I will be really upset if Netflix does not tell the whole story. What am I supposed to do if they don't renew it for 4 more seasons? Read the manga? See more Ignacio S @RT54876738 May 15 Another teen romance anime. Another success. With strong spokon elements, this adolescent romantic drama takes itself quite seriously. It has a slow pace, both in its plot progression and in how it introduces new characters. It's multilayered, with a solid script that requires at least a basic understanding of Japanese culture. The animation quality is good, but the art direction is outstanding on every level. A series strictly for anime fans and lovers of the romance genre. Not suitable for anyone who dislikes teen-centered stories. See more Master e @Master451 Apr 2 O anime é excelente, tem belos gráficos e uma ótima história de romance.
