Robert L @RT84951478 12/01/2023 This is a good show - better than average than what is currently streaming. No excitement, just a compelling character study. You'll start to watch and won't stop.

Even though it's ironic that the animation was pretty mediocre for an art anime, the masterful character odyssey more than made up for it. The main characters were high school students who were trying to get into art schools. Through the process of learning about art, each one faced their own struggle in trying to figure out who they are. Again the theme of identity vs role confusion was at the forefront. The journeys that were displayed all led to another common theme that resonated more with me: self-doubt. Our main guy, Yaguchi, constantly felt insecure about himself. Multiple times I can't help but reflect on myself, and it didn't feel so comfortable. Another aspect was the difference between hard-work, innate talent, and the expectation that came with each label. The character Yotasuke brought out this theme the most. Sometimes being labeled as having talent or already good at something doesn't feel as satisfying as expected. Overall, an unexpectedly dark, personal, yet satisfying exploration that I never thought I would love so much. 9-9.5/10. See more Kendra20 J @RT73339372 08/14/2022 Surprisingly a good watch! Very relatable if you are an artist trying to figure out life. I have heard its a little different from the manga, but I loved the show so much I finished it in two days. See more 07/27/2022 ) Must see for any aspiring artist or anyone struggling to find their place in the world. A free crash course in art progression and the effort and sacrifice that goes along with it. You will learn not only the best ways to practice but also how to keep passion in your work. To boot, we get an excellent look at mental health from different perspectives weather it be overcoming apathy or depression. In particular a very frank and honest look at a non binary persons experience right down to family troubles that can come along with it. Quite unusual to see in an anime with zero flinching away. In no way pandering but looking through the eyes of an artist at human form and self expression. A point is lost because we didn't get as much time with individual characters as i felt they needed. Would have benefited from a second season or 25 eps. Still, well done to netflix and all the creators. Great work See more Read all reviews
