don't see a lot of people talking about this series so thought I'd do a little review for anyone interested in it. i was trying to look for some sci-fi type of novels when i came across this, the story goes demon lord vs hero yk basic fantasy trope... hero kills demon lord saves world Yata Yata BUT the demon lord re awakens in the year of 2099 and this is where the real story begins. I really liked this because of the whole cyber punk type of feeling i got when reading and how the mc is basically trying to adjust to this new ... era of having chips (some type of technology in the story), realizing hes not the strongest, and trying to find his friends from his past. there's interesting characters that pop pretty early like machina she's a key character and it's probably going to be like that in the future also Takahashi which is a really funny character to me. one thing i like the most is the art. the cover art got my attention when i first saw it and i really like the style that it uses, almost like an unfinished type of style if that makes sense or maybe rug Gide. if you like sci-fi i think this is a great series to pick up its pretty creative to me and I'm excited to see where it goes in the future.

and i have finally finished watching this series!!!

now when i first started watching this i thought it was going to be another cliche romcom but after watching the first season i actually got really interested in it.

story: the story starts out with the main character Hikigaya Hachiman a loner that gets made fun of a lot but when you watch you'll quickly realize that he could care less about what people say and he kind of prefers to be alone, but that quickly goes downhill when his teacher forces him to join a club that helps people with their problems, but he then finds out ... that the club is run by the smart and beautiful Yukino Yukinoshita. after that the story basically revolves around the club helping peoples request and problems, now the problems usually are typical high school stuff that should be easy but it's the way the club deicides to handle them that aren't.

art: the art was pretty good i thought the scenery they used and the colors that were used fit perfectly. the character designs fit perfectly with their personalities, i thought they were done really nicely

sound: the sound was good i thought the openings were really catchy songs and i thought some of the background tracks used in the show fit very well

characters: this is where i think the show is really unique

Hikigaya Hachiman - Hachiman's weird and twisted views on life and society is definitely out there but throughout the show there is times where he opens up or at least tries to an i really like that about him, also i like how at times he also questions his own views and if there the right thing to go with

Yuki Yukinoshita - now Yuki is somewhat similar to Hachiman but at the same time not really. Shes smart, beautiful, and rich. she also doesn't have friends but for a different reason then Hachiman, her reason for not having friends is her cold demeanor and being too perfect. her smart remarks are funny and the arguments between Hachiman and her are actually really funny at times.

Yui Yuigahama - Yui is kind of the normie between the three of them. she's the glue that keeps the club together and also helps Hachiman and Yuki get along better. in the later episodes she does develop to be more independent and there are times where you get to see a more vulnerable side of her

enjoyment, overall: I really liked the whole series i thought it was really good, at first i thought it was going to be some cliche romcom, but it turned out to be much more different. i would definitely recommend it to anyone who's into anime

you may or may not read this but I'm just going to start off by saying if you should watch this or not...

i think if you're interested Yes give it a try and see if you like it
now it's somewhat of a slow pace i feel like and some people might not be comfortable with the idea of this little romance between teacher and student so if that's the case skip the anime.

Lastly i would just watch it anyway for the art in general, just the landscape scenes are worth a watch even if you don't like the plot


story: this all starts one rainy day ... in Tokyo when Takao a 15-year-old high school kid decides to skip class and sketch in a beautiful garden, this is where he meets Yukari a 27-year-old beautiful yet mysteries girl. they continue to meet throughout the rainy season and the more they meet the more the relationship between them builds. it's a simple plot but I think that's what makes it good, the simplicity and realism between these two is what I like, it doesn't feel unrealistic or cliche at all. I will say you'll hear a lot of music throughout some scenes instead of actual dialogue but i think that's a chance where you can take in the art.

art: the art style used in this anime is nothing but perfection. the color palette that you'll see between these scenes really make gloomy scenes look very vibrant and beautiful. i mean the nature in the outside scenes are straight up beautiful no other way to explain it. the art is definitely the strong point for the anime i mean if you're reading this before watching it trust me when i say you'll see some really polished moments. the art is a 10 fs.

sound: don't really have too much to say about the sound other than its very calm and southing. they definitely had the perfect tracks in mind for each scene and Motohiro Hata did a perfect job on the track "rain". same thing as art id give it a 10.

character: it's a really simple and realistic way how the two mc's build their relationship, one thing i liked is how it's not cliche in any way at least in my opinion that alone makes this that much better.

enjoyment: all in all, I really enjoyed it. the simplicity and realism of it really made it an enjoyable watch. definitely a 10 in my opinion one of my new favorites, i would recommend that you give it a chance and hey you might like it as much as me lmao
