The plot feels so unique, Rin's calm personality stood out and managed to figure out their problems easily. Still wondering about Rin’s mom is somehow different, and they are honestly amazing to find solutions together while their friendship never falters through it all.
The development of each character is so good, they each specialized in their own way but still sync perfectly together to reach their shared goal. When Yuka seemed down, watching her friends calm her was such a heartwarming moment. I really love how they support each other.
What a surprise, these unexpected situations keep appearing. It's kinda cute seeing their mini version with such a naughty and overly curious personality leading into chaotic moments. The dark atmosphere in this episode really had me holding my breath, but it ends well overall.
Some scenes really turn into funny moments while the girls stumble into unexpected situations one after another. Saki looks complicated in her mind, I can feel her loneliness. While Natsumi, who cares about her the most, never gives up on her friendship.
While I like how wholesome this series is overall, I kinda hate some parts of the story. I hate how annoying it was at the beginning, I hate how selfish the other characters can be sometimes, and I hate how some of the episodes are just so slow without much development. That said, the story itself is actually very interesting, with the supernatural theme being its core element. I also like the balance between friendship and drama. It's actually so fun watching them be vocal about their feelings, as it's simply peak friendship in my opinion. Craftsmanship-wise, it's pretty good. I especially love the frame-to-frame scenes, and the fluidity of the dance animation was simply great. But most of the time, it's just decent at most. Overall, I'd rate this a 7/10.
I really like how this ended despite not having a rainbowy conclusion. Like, the feeling of watching them come to terms with what's happening is just a very nice touch of slice-of-life. While it didn't end in the way I wished it would, their positive outlook on the situation really touched me a lot. Maybe these girls aren't as immature as I initially thought. Overall, this episode wrapped up the series in a very wholesome way.
I haven't talked much about the craftsmanship of this series, but this time, I really have to give credit to it. I just love how smooth and fluid the dance movements are, and the choreography was also just as amazing. That said, I didn't expect Yuka to feel like this. I mean, she seemed to be the most outgoing of them all.
This is definitely the best episode so far. It's so deep, and I love how everything is correlated rather than just being a coincidence. On another note, I didn't expect Saki to be like this when she was young. She's so fierce that it makes me laugh. Though, Yuka didn't really surprise me, LOL!
To be honest, I kinda don't like Ko-chan. While I understand the issue, her reactions were just too self-centered in my opinion. She's creating unnecessary drama and conflict. That said, the overall development was very satisfying to me. At least I like how things got resolved and ended up on a wholesome note.
I really like trip episodes like this. They're just so chill and cozy to watch. Though, if I were to nitpick about something, it'd be how absurd it sounds in reality. I mean, that's way too dangerous! I wasn't even allowed to stay overnight at a friend's house when I was their age, much less go on a trip, LOL. On another note, I really like their relationship a lot, especially how vocal they are about their feelings. Truly a top-tier friendship.
I don't like rainy days, but in anime, they're just so cozy to watch, you get me? They have this peaceful mood that mixes well with the SFX and music, which makes them really comfy to watch. And it's totally satisfying when the sky clears up.
This episode doesn't intrigue me that much. While the supernatural moments were pretty interesting, the overall direction was just meh. The development, though, was pretty nice. That said, this episode wasn't boring. I just don't vibe with it.
Wow Saki’s the type who plans everything out perfectly, it’s kinda exciting watching all four of them spend time together. Sometimes I can catch her emotions, it feels heavy even though she’s still just a kid. Meanwhile Yuka and Rin enjoyed the trip, they’re such cute typical kids.
Some scenes where the girls argue really showed how long they’ve known each other. I like how Rin tries to understand and stay lenient with Yuka. The flashback also reveals how their relationship grew over time and how each character developed, it’s so meaningful.
I still have some bias about Yuka's character, but she's really a great friend. I really like how caring she is, and that's enough for me to appreciate her character a lot. That said, this episode is pretty cute and wholesome. While not much happened in this episode, the vibes were still very enjoyable. In fact, I love it.
Natsumi really represents older kids who juggle responsibilities at home and school so well. At the same time, Yuka and her friends genuinely care about her and try to help reduce her exhaustion. Her hardworking personality and drive to reach her goals is so impressive to watch.
Despite the fact that Yuka’s character comes off as a bit careless, she still has a caring and protective side when it comes to her friends. It is so cute seeing Rin too, those two really do have such a perfect balance, watching them makes the whole atmosphere so heartwarming.
Agh, a really nice ending to the series. Love how they toyed with the time travel and supernatural events throughout the show. The moral and ending they had at the end there was also such a nice way to wrap the whole thing up. Overall, I would probably rate it a 7/10 stars ⭐️! A pretty good slice of life and comedy (and also coming of age-ish) show with lots of friendship aspects! Although, it did have a slower pace for my taste and I had to push through some of the episodes. But it was pretty solid!
Awhh that was a sweet episode 😭We got to see another side of Yuka in here and I also really loved how the other girls were completely supporting her! Love the friendship goals. The whole idol test thing was also really entertaining to watch✨ Hope we get some kind of closure regarding the idol dreams they have!!
Wait that was SUCH a cute episode 😭 seeing tiny versions of them in this episode was actually adorable HAHA. One of the more okay plot lines and the part where they referenced the idol and singing was also a really nice touch. The humor in this episode was also highly entertaining!
