The most important thing IS having Fun. Fun, I think, doesn't mean things like not being serious or catering to some things you follow or something else. They are a part of having fun. But Fun is - Doing what you want to do and to the best of your ability; led by passion and feelings, not reason or responsibilities; just be you and give it everything you've got - give the performance of your life. To me, I think that is Fun, if I am wanting to convey my current feelings to someone. Of course I feel more than I could ever write. And ... I can assure you, knowing what you truly want right at this moment, takes a struggle.
For now, I am gonna do what I want to do - sort some of my mangas. And I'm gonna do it to the best of my ability. So thank you Hana, Naru, Yaya, Machi, Tami - HaNaYaMaTa.
P.S. I think these animes about Japanese things are so original. Akebi’s Sailor Uniform about sailor uniform, HaNaYaMaTa about yosakoi, Farewell, My Dear Cramer (manga) about football in Japan, Wakako Zake (live action) shows Japanese cuisine - I think these all are so awesome and cool. Of course I like typical romance ones too. But to be able to get so close a view to something japanese is just cool I think, for japanese things are cool and awesome. If I can, I'm surely gonna live in Japan someday. And I think more animes on native Japanese things should be created. They can connect people, they show who Japan is to the world and above everything, I am loving Japan and I am sure many would fall in love with Japan after seeing these.

The anime starts with a quintuplet experience. And the story remains a quintuplet experience. And it also ends as a quintuplet experience.

I liked the anime. It's good. I got to see quintuplets, a first for me. The girls, who doesn't usually talk with the boys, gets over the boy; and it's so true. My own friend had a case like that. It's adolescence, boy. And it's not so bad. And it's totally logical. Because it's romance, not love. I am very happy with that, that the anime showed and told about romance. There's some which shows romance and talks about love. Anyway, not everyone of ... them is head over heels for him, which is more logical.
We get to see every girl's inner world too. Their feelings, their beliefs, their attachments. And I was head over heels for them. But I liked the 2nd girl more. I cheered for her, though she didn't got it. I was sad. But, the whole story, didn't let me outline who would be it. That so remains a quintuplet experience.
And 2 seasons and the Movie together make it one. This is my feelings about all three.
The only thing not shining was romance. That the boy had to make choice, is I think really dull. Their wasn't a shred of romantic feeling in the boy in the whole anime, yet he had to and he did make a choice; I think that’s the worst thing of such a glamorous anime. That's a shame. But the Movie has a better ending, though by no means that's very good either.
Well, ending good or not, I enjoyed my journey through The Quintessential Quintuplets. I am happy. And I hope everyone who watches it, feels it too, good or bad.

Read this manga, and your feet will be itching to touch a football.

Sayonara, Watashi no Cramer is an experience, a journey. (P.S. This is gonna be my experience told. I can’t say how your experience will be. I can only hope yours is even better than mine, for I love this journey of mine.)The quality metrics are just as described in other reviews. Just this that, before I read the manga, I hated sports, be it indoor, outdoor or video games. And in this journey, I, and I guarantee that you will also, came to love football. I watched World Cup 2023 (though I was ... disappointed that there were fouls in every moment before my blood could get warm), my feet is itching to kick a ball around and I am gonna go in Japan and I am gonna support Girls' Soccer wholeheartedly. Japanese Girls' Soccer has so much potential. It would be a waste to let go of something so beautiful. And I am not even a girl or a Japanese. And this manga gave me the most awesome person I've ever meet. I want to go on the field and play with those girls in the manga. I so wish every person in the world would realise how beautiful football is and how much potential and uncultivated Girls' Soccer is.

So, I love this journey that I went on, one which I would like to take every time I'm given the chance.

''Youth, a blue spring, with a stormy wind passing through my heart on which to ride.''
I doubt I'm ever gonna hear a truer and so sensational line about my youth, which I experienced. I don’t know about others. But manga and animes and my math really made my youth a blue spring. That’s why this line just tugs at my heart-chord.
The anime is this high school romance, that if you were just entering into the vast world of anime, it will put a spot in your heart. At least that's the case for me. Someone of our main character has a some flaw and the ... story puts its foot in that. It has good art and music. I like the op, still really. The characters don't particularly tugs at my heartstring but they are good characters, just okay by some standards.
But you should watch it. I like the experience I had with this anime. And like my many other animes, I think they aren't just characters. They are my familiars.

To Rebelpanda,
This has to be the best review of anything I've ever saw. And my feelings of the anime are the same as yours, although I could never write it so arranged and consistency maintained.
To everyone,
Read Rebelpanda's review for Bloom into You. And Bloom into You is absolutely recommended, 100%. Everything is just as Rebelpanda described. He really nailed the work. The story is realistic, art is gorgeous, songs totally match the tone, voices superb and don't know anymore. [The last sentence is only for MAL restrictions. It totally destroys the grace of the review of the above person]
P.S. MAL website keepers, please add reply ... system to others' reviews and comments.

''Considering the future is good and all, why make the 'now' boring?'' Shangri-La Frontier just isn't one of the best video game manga ever written; from consistent and powerful story to contrasting art to dialogues which raises your heartbeat with every word, it has the potential to be one of the best manga you've ever read. It's the adaptation of a novel. And adaptations of good works turns out even better, when in the right hands. You are going to like and love every single character, along with every element of this work. And that’s true for everyone, as I am myself a video game ... hater.

Akebi's Sailor Uniform, on the surface, is just an anime about the lives of some high school girls. But here the art, voice etc are so good, they already earn a 6 with just that. But there's more than just that.

Everyone has a goal in life. Some want to be good civilian, some movie maker etc. And taking something like that as a goal and working toward it is the most common thing. For most, staff like making friends or how you eat everyday are second thoughts. But Akebi's dream is just what she says. And Akebi perfectly shows that her goal means as much ... to her as playing music means to a musician. And that the anime takes this rather less common path and is able to make one believe that, raises its score to 7.

But the most special part is, how much one can dedicate to his/her dream. Akebi’s dream seems rather simple. But she gives it everything she has got. Her very life is dedicated to her dream, every second, everywhere. Her existence itself is alive in her dream. How many exists out there, who does this much toward their dream? 'Give it everything you've got.' - this line pronounces at every pore of it.

P.S. Those who talks about foot fetish in the anime negatively should know fetish isn't something disgusting. I didn't even get that that is fetish. And I don't consider that either, so. And fetish is just a part of human nature.

P.S. I wish I was a middle school girl in Japan. I wish I could live an alternate life in Japan. I hope sailor uniform exists in Japan forever.

Akebi's passion to every thing around her and her sailor uniform makes me fall in love (not romantic) with her everytime I see her.
And she isn't like she appreciates these things. She is like that just by being herself. That's why she is one of my favourite persons. She is like the manifestation of every single thing I've learned and liked in my whole life.

Akebi isn't about fetish or feeling good. It's about loving a single call from a friend, about the uniform you wear, whether you walk or run to school, carrying a friend, listening with someone on the same earphone. It's about these little things.
If I'm ever reborn into japan, I wish to have the same feelings as of right now and to wear a sailor uniform, even if just once.

P.S.Those who think it's just a feel-good anime, they should know they don't even know the depth of Akebi. Wearing the sailor uniform when she wanted that her whole life, you can't even comprehend the depth of that. And how many of these are there!
