If you like cute girls and horror, this series is perfect for you. Megurigaoka High School has become overrun with zombies after being hit by a biological weapon created by the Randall Corporation and covered up by the government who uses the school and it’s unique resources as a shelter. Four girls, their teacher, and their dog are at some point, the last living survivors and strive to find a way out alive. Personally, I’ve never had a show create such a lasting impact on me like this has. I hate horror but the cute art style gave me the nerve to watch it. The
...
gory imagery, psychological twist and turns, and the raw emotion of the characters are second to none. The protagonist Yuki is at the center of the series as the beacon of hope to the rest of the girls however, she is still living in the past. After a certain event that took place during the zombie plague, Yuri started to envision her life as it was prior to the outbreak. The others are planning their survival and fending off zombies while Yuki continues to go to class in a torn up and bloodied room with no teachers and no students under the impression that none of this ever happened. She believes they’re all just in a school living club with their teacher and pet but school living means more than just camping on campus- they’re literally the only living people in their school and potentially the whole town.

Another failure as a GL series. As for the positives, the overall plot was genius. The art style is among the best I’ve seen for this genre. The soundtrack was great. The idols (ChamJam) were tropey, but were undoubtedly the highlight of the series. As for the negatives, all three of the main characters are beyond creepy, albeit Motoi is the worst (willing to omit the truth and risk his favorite idols reputation so he’d have a chance at dating her, Eripiyo (who is stupid in every sense of the word and doesn’t understand boundaries), and the Kumasa (who overall was the voice of reason
...
but co-signed a lot of the weird behaviors of the previous two). As for GL rep, there barely is any. Eripiyo really does just come off as a crazed fan while Maina, the idol she likes seems to have more romantic feelings for her than vice verse. Most of the GL rep is shown through the idols: Maki/Yume are actually dating, Aya/Yuka who have a cute and slightly competitive dynamic though they complement each other well, and Reo/Sorane who support each other no matter the situation in a somewhat romantically coded way. The series can redeem itself by having the idols have canon ships within their group otherwise, this can barely be called a GL series.

This show really could’ve been something interesting but alas, it was written with fetishist men in mind and doesn’t honestly depict sapphic relationships. The story consists of awkward pseudo-incest and non-consensual acts perpetrated by Mei onto Yuzu. And being that it’s written with men in mind, Yuzu gets harassed and essentially assaulted by Mei and is just written to like it as opposed to addressing the unhealthy nature of their relationship. It gets even worse when Matsuri is added to the series. A girl who looks no older than 14 that alludes to sending grown men nude photos of herself (or photos off the internet
...
rather) for no real reason at all. The whole show is just teen angst and sexual frustration of teenage girls made for the male gaze- particular those that are next level creeps. I really wanted to like this show because of the minimal sapphic representation in anime but of course, this is fetishist and just straight up wrong. The art style is great, the sound track is great, and the voice actors were great picks but it all falls flat when all those things try to cover up an irredeemable story. If anything, since the girls were made to live together anyway- why not make them college students (adults) at the very least? And not related either?

If you’re a girl looking to good sapphic representation- please look elsewhere. Like Citrus and NTR: Trap, it’s very obvious that Sasameki Koto was written with men who like to watch girls kissing in mind other than actual sapphic women. This anime features a large breasted (and often objectified for that reason) airhead that has a crush on a girl solely for her looks and is coveted by her socially awkward and somewhat perverted best friend. Most of the side characters are uninteresting or disturbing like the only boy in the series who has a crush on Sumika but was forced into cross dressing by
...
his little sister. There is a scene in a restaurant where he and Sumika go out to eat while he is still dressed like a girl and it’s very difficult to watch. He goes to open a packet of creamer and it splashed on his face while he whimpers and winces (on one hand to show femininity and the other as an innuendo which you can probably assume by now). The whole story is a will-they-or-won’t-they between Ushio and Sumika and by the end of it, I could only think “they’re perfect for each other because they’re both bad characters”. I’d give this show a 3/10 at best (because the soundtrack was pretty decent and it had a fine art style for it’s time) but as for characters and plot, it was abyssmal. I do not recommend.

If you just want to watch an anime about cute girls doing cute things, Anima Yell would be perfect for you. This series is essentially YuruYuri but with cheer outfits on. For anyone looking for a series to get deeply invested in, you may be a little disappointed. Personally, I love these kinds of series but Anima Yell fell flat for me for a few reasons.
1. The series is insanely trope driven, especially in terms of the types of characters included and how they’re developed (which isn’t much development at all compared to other sports series).
2. The plot is a little all over the
...
place in terms of the overall goal the girls want to achieve. First, it was to cheer people on. After, it’s just to have fun. Then, it’s to cheer in a large competition (while having mediocre skills) just to prove to Arima’s team that she’s doing well after being kicked off. For the plot to be worthwhile, they should’ve took a page out of Sound! Euphonium’s book and strives for the contest from the get-go, even if it was to just have fun and not win or qualify for other competitions.
3. I hoped that this series would start a conversation about realistic competitive cheer like Haikyuu does volleyball. However, this show is geared toward people who would otherwise have no interest in the sport and just want to see high school girls flounce around in small outfits as opposed to showing the greater sides of cheerleading- teamwork, sportsmanship, technique, history, etc. Obviously, none of this was to be expected but it would’ve been nice if the show took this turn.
Overall, I honestly don’t think it’s a bad show. It serves the purpose of brightening the audiences mood and giving us cute characters to cheer on while they try their best at the sport of cheer. I think it’s a fun watch especially for people who like moe anime and I’d recommend it for that reason. Otherwise, it’s just alright and not really worth a rewatch in my opinion. I don’t think I’m going to read the manga because the anime didn’t advertise the story well enough but if you liked the characters and want to see what happens next, go for it.
