Higehiro started off with a great memorable intro; Yoshida and Sayu was introduced to us as imperfect human beings that needed a lil bit of dose of motivation or encouragement towards life.
In the anime community, i was seeing a lot of expectations and praise was given for just 1 episode. I understood some flaws was expected to be as i believe some parts had to be rushed to finish up the whole light novel.

Story: 9
The story was quite decent for me. A simple setup for a drama anime with everyone has their own issues in life which i felt they did able to solve them. ... It’s quite refreshing to see a lot of wholesome moments and dramatic scenes synchronised well in this series.

Art: 7
The artstyle for Higehiro was good. The animations were quite okay. I’m not really concern about the art as i do believe the intention of the anime is much focused on the storyline rather than the graphics itself but if Higehiro was given a better visual, i think a lot more people will be watching it.

Sound: 7
Gotta respect the voice actors of the whole cast whom did very good in portraying their characters. The opening was a really great and the ending was quite nice.

Character: 10
I have to admit the main reason i stay loyal watching this anime is because the characters are felt really connected to me. Humans does have good and bad side right, through Higehiro i really felt that the characters were doing their best to be themselves. Both Yoshida and Sayu development were paid off in the end. The side characters do feel a bit one dimensional like individuals but they do have some great traits.

Enjoyment: 10
I really like watching this anime for its wholesomeness and the drama. The ups and downs are well written and greatly portrayed throughout the series.

Overall: 9
Higehiro can be considered a great anime, i believe if were given a chance to truly explore more on the light novel and a fascinating graphics could boost the overall marks from me.

Thanks for reading my first review of an anime series. Sorry that i had to worded it out as a general perspective to avoid any spoilers of the anime. Hope you like the anime the same way i did.

P/S: I watched the whole series through Muse Asia YouTube Channel. Thanks for letting us anime fans the opportunity to watch this great series.
