Blue Spring Ride

Boring. It's not that it's predictable and generic for the genre. There are plenty of Shōjos like this one and you adore them. It's just that Aoharu is just plain boring – uninteresting characters, a story that might be interesting for the first three episodes but then goes in circles and the interest fades, an unmemorable hub. Not to mention that in episode eight we learn that a girl shouldn't be relaxed with a guy because he might attack her (with his mouth, of course, then easily with other instruments)! Just a common practice. Even the animation didn't impress, just standard. The joke... at least. I generally don't like Sakisaka Io's work very much, and this is no exception. She can't work properly with characters, character backgrounds and relationships, and their (natural) development. If I watch the first episode, the two anywhere in the middle, and the last one, I won't miss anything (the biggest bonus with this is the time not wasted) and I'll absolutely know what's going on. So in 12 episodes nothing major happens. There are better genre series. (21.07.2019)
