Synopsis (BLUE PERIOD)
Second-year high school student Yatora Yaguchi is a delinquent with excellent grades, but is unmotivated to find his true calling in life. Yatora spends his days working hard to maintain his academic standing while hanging out with his equally unambitious friends. However, beneath his carefree demeanor, Yatora does not enjoy either activity and wishes he could find something more fulfilling.
While mulling over his predicament, Yatora finds himself staring at a vibrant landscape of Shibuya. Unable to express how he feels about the unusually breathtaking sight, he picks up a paintbrush, hoping his thoughts will be conveyed on canvas. After receiving praise for his work, the joy he feels sends him on a journey to enter the extremely competitive Tokyo University of the Arts—a school that only accepts one in every two hundred applicants.
Facing talented peers, a lack of understanding of the fine arts, and struggles to obtain his parents’ approval, Yatora is confronted by much adversity. In the hopes of securing one of the five prestigious spots in his program of choice, Yatora must show that his inexperience does not define him.
This is a great anime, all though some people have mixed feelings about this anime. I felt like it was one of my top ten anime. This anime is just plain beautiful, one of the best Netflix Animes out there, since most of them are kinda meh. The anime is about a kid who wants to go to art school, but he is somewhat poor. So he practices and joins training classes so he can win a free spot to art school.
Why it's so good:
The setting, the feel good vibe, it's so perfect. They also perfectly depict good art, and I love the way how everything seems well done. The reason why people would hate it is because it kinda feels like that a lot of the anime, is just waiting for him to finally get out of training school. Which makes it somewhat slow, but it's not like your waiting over 100 episodes for something to happen... There's only 12eps anyway!
Art:
Pretty decent, not the best I've ever seen. But it's about art so... Of course its gonna have some great animation.
Enjoyment:
I really enjoyed watching this anime, and even though sometimes it seemed to take a long time, I didn't really mind it because all of the episodes were interesting.
Great anime, highly recommend!
