"Blue Period" had several flaws in the development of some characters and some episodes swayed along the boundary of being boring, but the art, character development of the protagonist, and touching commentary are what kept me watching. Yatora Yaguchi the series lead, is very likable and comes a long way throughout the series on his journey of self-discovery and self-confidence. This anime highlights the importance of believing in oneself and finding the courage to follow your dreams even during difficult situations. "Blue Period" does a pretty good job in discussing some LGBT themes in a grounded, compassionate way that is relatable to most viewers ... and also implies the plight that people in this community face. Overall, the excitement and drama that comes from the main exam story arc really holds this show together and keeps the viewer entertained even during slower portions of this anime. The art in this anime is also exquisite and the colors used really help the art pieces that are presented pop.

There isn't any other anime like Cowboy Bebop! The well written characters, relatable plots and inner struggles from each character is one of the many reasons I re-watch this anime year after year. The music is absolutely beautiful, unique and gives this show such a cool, jazzy aesthetic. The colors and space scenery in this anime really put you in the world of Cowboy Bebop and creates a sense of mystery, adventure, and all around fun. Although all the characters are gems in their own right the standouts are Spike, Ed, and Ein!This 90s anime is a must watch and a good starting point if ... you're beginning your anime journey or interested in the works of Shinichiro Watanabe.
