For everyone I’ve seen lately saying “I want a show with _____.” I just thought you should know that there’s a show out there that’s probably already done it.
Dude, it you watch this, I want to watch it too, this looks really interesting!
“that thing where people write entire essays on the emotion behind a single glance that one person gives another”
My friend doing pretty much exactly that is what got me to watch this show. I didn’t love it, but I thought it was pretty good.
Note: I’m not sure I would call the dub “really good”. I mean, the actual dubbing part seemed fine, and maybe there are better versions out there than the one I saw, but in the version I watched…okay, look. The parts of the show set offline are done like a silent movie, with the conversations depicted as screens of text in-between the video of what’s going on. Said text was in Japanese, and only Japanese. And because I am sufficiently clueless about Japanese that I wasn’t even sure what alphabet they were using, I couldn’t even type it into Google Translate in hopes of getting a general idea. (The first time it happened, I searched Wikipedia trying to find and copy-paste the right characters. Fifteen minutes later when I gave up, I had found four of them.) So the offline bits were kind of confusing. Luckily there weren’t many of them.
(Agreed on the soundtrack, though. The closing theme in particular, “Yasashii Yoake”, is awesome.)
