Hanayamata Episode 12: Hanayamata

Overall, I enjoyed the series as a whole and I feel more people should watch it. Their final performace (as in for this show) was so endearing to watch after watching their struggles, obstacles they faced as well as how hard they have worked to get to this point. A good series I would recommend for anyone who is looking for a heartfelt slice-of-life series.

Banyak emotion di sini. Tapi, yang paling berasa itu gregetnya. Kalian sukses bikin saya duduk di ujung kursi. Naru, proud of you. Hana, proud of you. Tami, cantik banget. Yaya, proud of you. Machi, girl boss. Sally sensei makasih banyak. Om Masaru, hidden MVP banget. Aku pengen banget nonton kalau ada season berikutnya. Plotnya perfect, visualnya dreamy dan calming tapi tidak bikin ngantuk. Character developmentnya juga realistis. Senang banget bisa ketemu anime ini.

The previous outcome was unexpected but this one even more so. I mean, surely they wouldn't have proceeded just like that to end the show on a sad note. It HAD to end on a bang. Definitely a satisfying ending to the series. It was a pretty good ride while it lasted. There wasn't actually much yosakoi, the yosakoi was the friends we made along the way. Because that was the main focus. I was expecting more info dump or more nerdy deepdive on yosakoi but maybe I'm not entirely disappointed. Or maybe I am. At the very least, the show lived up to its CGDCT theme because it was overloaded with it. The show has potential to be better but, again, not bad at all.
