I had no idea such a sequel was coming as I thought the show had ended and Kyoto Animation took a hard hit from the tragedy but currently 4 episodes in as of writing this review, and I love every second of it.
I would have normally given this show a 10 which I plan on giving it if it continues like this but I realize that may partly be because of how much respect I have for Kyoto Animation as a Studio, the work they make, and the tough times they went through which would turn my 10 to a 9 but that's about it.
...
The reason I am writing this review is that I was expecting more people to have similar thoughts which there sure are but not as much as I was expecting for an anime of this caliber. The animation is amazing, the color coordination and choices are amazing, the small details like having the train's holding things on the ceiling be actually animated is amazing, the effort they put into this is amazing, and currently, the story is going pretty well in my opinion. Some people also acknowledge the animation and art but are worried about the story or pacing or are just watching the anime for the "plot" which is exactly what I don't understand.
The anime doesn't have many many episodes and will probably peak around 13 episodes or something similar to that so there won't be a HunterxHunter or Naruto kind of pacing and at the end of the day, the show is a comedy oriented slice of life that also can encompass more serious themes next to the holy Kanna moments that make people go to jail, but even if you are wary of the story, most of the show still hasn't aired so I think if the show keeps going strong, those thoughts will also inevitably change. However, what I don't get is people watching this for the "plot". There is "plot" in many of the scenes and characters but why would you watch the show for that? I see it more like a bonus rather than a part of the show that makes it good. I don't see why you would watch this show for the "plot" when you can watch trashy OVA's or shows that focus on just that. Maybe I'm the weird one here but still, I think the show has a lot more to offer than that.
It's still pretty early to give a solid review but there has been a lack of reviews for this show (as of writing this) so I thought I'd jump in the ring as well. In conclusion, the show looks good, sounds good, great to have Kyoto Animation back, like that they gave credit in the opening to Takemoto Yasuhiro (rip), and the story is going pretty smooth. Go watch it if you haven't cus this show is some fine wine. I rest my case.
