Eventually, I will become you, or Bloom Into You, has met all of my expectations and holds all of the fundamentals of a top tier romance anime. Who should watch Yagate Kimi ni Naru? Anyone looking for a deep investment in a beautiful well thought out Shojou-ai story. Covering this more below.

Story: 8/10
This is very well done here, the episodes seemlessly fit together and do not drag in the slightest. The narrative itself is a bit fast, and a bit complex, which is okay. You will be jumping from scene to scene wondering, wait - how did they get here? As well as ... some unexplained settings, such as Yuu's home being in a bookstore. Slight deduction for pacing too quick in some scenes.

Art: 10/10
No complaints here, the art is flawless and encaptures the cute, "special" feel of young love. The art is easy on the eyes, and the nice colors are consistent throughout each episode. Very realistic art style. A very unique one as well, from the scenery, all the way down to the character's noses. Yagate Kimi ni Naru is at art style you won't find elsewhere.

Sound: 10/10
Nailed it here as well, the sound is outstanding and very innocent, but uplifing. The sound matches the tone and overall atmosphere throughout each scene and episode. Never is it out of place.

Character: 9/10
Arguably the selling point of the series, i'm glad to say the characters here really bring it. Yuu and Touko. Our supporting characters are strong as well, notably Yuu's parents and her older sister. The personalities of Yagate Kimi ni Naru, are unique and really sell the story. Yuu and Touko's intense situations give you an "in the moment" feeling. Also, why are there so many characters? A lot of them look alike and you may not catch their name. Point deduction for craming in too many characters.

Enjoyment: 10/10
Yagate Kimi ni Naru (Bloom Into You) is a timeless series that i would recommend to any romance/drama fan, especially shoujo-ai (same sex) anime fans. While I may not be adding a new song to my playlist, this series has a place in my heart, just as I expected it too. The tension between Yuu and Touko is one that is hopefully relatable, and may make you emotional during some scenes. The story, art, sound, and characters flow together like a river. If you appreciate high production value, you will be very satisfied with Yagate Kimi ni Naru. Thanks TROYCA for a masterpiece.

Overall: 9/10
