Insomniacs after school is not a bad anime, but neither is it a good one.
I felt sort of bored throughout the story, as if I was just watching it for the sole purpose to watch it rather than for enjoyment.
There were definitely many scenes that moved me, and I related heavily with the main characters and their issues with insomnia/sleeping disorders, but most of the characters felt quite bland and unoriginal.
The art scenes with the starry skies, golden clouds, or shots focusing on Isaki were beautiful, and the animators definitely did a good job on those. This anime is basically just eye-candy. The animation is
...
quite nice, the art is pretty, but the story, pacing, characters, etc. felt too boring and bland, as previously mentioned.
I feel as though this anime would be something to put on in the background - not to focus on by itself, but just have on while working on homework or drawing, whatever.
I felt mildly disappointed as the show went on, and I feel as though there were many possibilities missed to improve the overall quality.
I was originally going to rate it a 7/10, but removed a point to count for the fact that I just didn't really enjoy this anime very much.
Overall, it is a 6/10.

Genuinely amazing anime and sequel. Mappa did a great job adapting farmland saga.
It is much slower-paced than the first action-packed season, and many complain about that, but this arc is not a story of war.
it is a story of redemption and growth.
There are countless other, great action-packed anime to watch, so if you are here for that, you will not find it here.
What you will find here is a slow burn story with amazing character development and blossoming relationships that genuinely feel life changing. The characters go through so much blood, sweat and tears together, and it is beautiful to watch.
Seeing Thorfinn
...
change from that heavily traumatized, angry, sulking brat seeking revenge into a (still heavily traumatized), hard-working, mature young man who seeks redemption was beautiful, I was cheering him on from the sidelines through the whole story.
Though I do prefer the first season to this one due to it's amazingly animated fight scenes, loveable characters and well, I gotta admit I just love gritty revenge stories. Plus, nobody can beat Thorkell for best girl. Didn't get much of him in this season :C.
Overall, I'd rate Farmland Saga 8/10. An absolutely breathtaking job done by the amazing animators at Mappa once again.
And remember.
You have no enemies.

this show is weirdly good but also weirdly bad at times? a lot of the negative situations/arcs that happen aren't even entertaining, they're just frustrating to watch - like, constantly stealing from our main girl, constantly belittling her, making her go through shit in a way that feels just plain boring and annoying, it was always just characters getting jealous and doing something out of spite to her. i hate how doomer-ish the plot feels at times.
watching this anime i was constantly worried about shit in a real shitty way rather than an entertained way - i wish it was more flexible rather than "good
...
thing, bad thing, good thing, bad thing" over and over. it was just the same cycle.
this show is otherwise pretty decent though, the art style is really cute and interesting, the main cast is generally pretty likeable, the character designs are cute, i liked seeing the development between anne and challe, and i think the studio did a good job on creating the actual sugar candy pieces themselves, they often turned out really pretty/mesmerizing, especially anne's final sugar candy that won her the silver medal and the sugar candy figure she did of that water fairy was gorgeous.
overall, i'd rate it a 6.5/10. it's a good show if you just want a fun, cute lil time waster, or some characters to shit on.
i would've given it a 7/10 if the arcs were more unique rather than cyclical. also the ending was catastrophic. like actually. why would they end it like that. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
