Twilight Out of Focus

The ending was so cute especially the red string scene! I really hoped to see the other two couples in the ending as well... it would've made the ending more complete. All in all, everything was great, the storyline was easy to follow, the characters were enjoyable and the romance in this anime was a lot!

Okay so this episode sums up all the couples in the series and it basically tells what happened after they all get together with their respective partners. Genuinely this episode feels like a special episode since it focuses more on the characters relationships. The storyline is not very clear in the beginning but like always, never forget to watch until the very end!

I love it when Rei finally shows his vulnerability to Yoshino! The animation, storyline, and the comedies in this episode is just perfectly well balanced. I didn't think any other pair could top my favorite, Jin and Ichikawa, but I was sooo wrong! Rei and Yoshino's chemistry is one of the best!

Episode 9 is quite comforting and funny at the same time. I really like Yoshino's character because he is just effortlessly funny and cheerful which is the total opposite of Rei. Their personality contrast is what makes them entertaining to watch,

I actually enjoy this kind of anime where they introduce new characters and focus on multiple love stories in one series. I find it amusing and we won't get bored since there are multiple couples with different tropes. In this case, Shion Yoshino is definitely the funniest!

Interesting episode indeed! I really like the idea of putting two rivals in a situation that made them realize they weren't so bad after all. The romance in this episode is quite intense honestly and I did not expect the 2nd round thing.

I like to see more interaction between Jin and Ichikawa and this episode has tons of it! They eventually share the same interest in BL and film making and these things are what made them realize each other's true passion. The cliffhanger at the end raises questions and I am absolutely hooked.

The finale was good. The fear of the future felt so real. I think I just wanted to see more of the other couples. The sunset hues in the beach scene were amazing. Couldn’t have it any other way. Also, the red thread scene? Gorgeous.

The story goes back to the first couple. I think this is also the time when the other couples are progressing in their relationships. It mostly shows the everyday lives of the characters, so it feels a bit slow-paced with nothing new added to the plot. I think I’m looking for a twist or at least a climax. But overall, these stories bring a lighthearted feeling. The animation is still on-point.

There were a lot of personality changes, and they were so cute. The animation during the romantic scenes was stunning, the lights and orb-like effects blended in so cleanly. The scene where Rei saw Jin on the stairs was so funny and cute. I really like Yoshino and Rei’s story. It feels so lighthearted.

This is quite refreshing because there are more comedic scenes, so it doesn’t get boring. I really like Yoshino’s personality. Yoshino’s eye animation whenever he was surprised was super clean and quite realistic. The veins in his eyes looked so good—creepy but cool. And the sound while showing it? Super nice!

Whattt, there’s a new character again? What’s happening? But this was a super hilarious episode. The new character added more life to the story, and he’s naturally funny. I got curious about Rei from the previous episode, so this one was quite interesting. The animation during the comedic scenes was on-point. I’ve been noticing that since the previous episodes.

I like the animation where they added different frames to a scene. It gives a unique blend and adds focus to certain moments. I really can’t watch this on speakers or when somebody’s with me because of the sounds though, if you know what I mean. 😉

Part 2 of Jin and Ichikawa’s story. This episode focused more on their conversations. It centered on their thoughts about each other. I liked the animation whenever the characters were flirting or blushing. A cliffhanger ending as well.

This episode focused on Jin and Ichikawa. The vibe feels more like the first episode of the series, yet still different. It focused more on conversations and the characters’ points of view, so it felt a little slow-paced for me. There are no backstories yet to watch. Also, I liked Ichikawa’s character more, he’s still mysterious and seems to have a dual personality, which keeps confusing Jin. Haha.

I’m still waiting for the climax of the story. This episode focuses more on the main characters deepening their feelings for each other. There are post-credit scenes included at the end of the closing credits, so make sure to wait for them to finish so you can watch them. Adding little comedic moments in between serious scenes was refreshing.

Woah, I didn’t expect that scene to be shown in just episode 3. Haha. The animation was so good that even with so many details, everything still felt relevant to the scene. Perfectly animated and quite cinematic. The clinic scene was so romantic.

There’s more depth to the story now, as it brings backstories about Hisashi. It switches the point of view. A must-watch to know the truth behind Hisashi’s personality. The background music was on-point. The animation was still clean, adding comic-like frames to the scenes.

My first time watching a BL anime, and for me, this first episode was typical of what I usually watch in live-action BL movies/series. It was a bit slow-paced for me, especially with the flashbacks from one of the main characters' POV. The animation was clean.

I personally like the enemies to lovers trope and both characters have the same passion in film making but they just can't stand each other. Ichikawa is just always so bold in sharing his interest and that what makes him one of my favorite character.
