Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia

High schooler Ganta Nakami has trouble falling asleep most nights. As a result, he is irritable at school, always searching for an opportunity to find a secluded place to doze off. On the other hand, Isaki Magari is a free spirit who is well liked by her friends, but no one is aware of her sleep disorder. She makes use of the school's abandoned astronomy club observatory as her secret sleeping bunker when she needs to get some shut-eye.

As fate would have it, Nakami finds Magari napping in the observatory. When Magari discovers that she and Nakami have something in common, she offers to share her secret sleeping spot with her fellow insomniac. As the two find warmth in each other's company, the struggles they face start to become easier to confront.

Absolutely beautiful Show.

I can't describe how great this show was - and I only heard about it by random chance on a review for another show I watched. I guess it was literally in the stars for me to see this show lol.

The premise is pretty basic, but the journey after the initial meeting the two MCs go on for the rest of the season is truly one of the best crafted stories you'll see in this media. No of the over-the-top antics or silliness you get from other shows in this genre, just good old fashion story telling.

I do hope for a ... Season 2, but in the mean time, I will 100% be checking out the Manga because I need to know how this turns out.

Top praise to the Author and staff for creating a Gem of a story in both mediums.

Mixed Feelings

At first it was a little doubtful because the quality was bad, but it turned out that was only part of the fairy tale, whereas the main story was really good.

For the beginning, the story of this anime is quite good and the relationship between them really makes me want to fall in love too.
But it's a shame that episode 6 onwards starts to get boring, the storyline is filled with things that I don't really like, like telling about the past, telling about cultural festivals and so on, while their intimate relationship is increasingly disappearing in my opinion.

Another drawback is that many scenes ... are filled with motionless images, and I was forced to watch them by speeding up and skipping the motionless images.

It's a shame that I can't say that this anime is recommended, because the story is only good at the beginning and not good until the end.

Inconsistent, Plotless, Complete waste of time.

There is literally no story, the romance is also pretty bland without any drama. Honestly pretty disappointed by the poster. I thought it would be some kind of cool astrologist typo anime with a little bit romance here and there but in reality it was just a sad life story of a highschooler who cant sleep and then he somehow gets into taking idle photos of sky while trying to find a sleeping place in an abandoned club .Would not recommend this to anyone who has this kind of perception going into the anime because you're gonna get your ... time wasted. And it doesnt even deserve 7 let alone 8, maybe the beach scene got people to rate it higher

Even scum wish was better. atleast it had some story
