Spoilers Ahead The movie when I first saw it stood out for me so incredibly, right from the start the art style is so different from any other movie I’ve seen by having dazzling types of high contrast, flat colors with little shading which looks like something that Takashi Murakami would make. Even though it has this unique art style, it still feels like a real movie and the bright colors really make everything pop, with shots of scenery that I really loved when I first watched this anime. The anime is about a girl named Smile which she calls herself that and is an idol on a livestream app. She meets a boy named Cherry, where all the characters do not have actual names except one minor character. They both share insecurities, Cherry has social anxiety and uses headphones to comfort him and Smile is conscious about her teeth and uses a mask to hide while also being a micro idol online. When Cherry gets too overwhelmed, he turns red hence why he is called Cherry; it shows the problems th

 A recent anime called Insomniacs After School grabbed my attention as someone who has had insomnia since the age of 10, this anime shows a part of insomniacs that day enjoyers don’t know about and has the effects or feelings that people with this condition exhibit. I loved this anime so much when I was watching it, and it is the perfect anime to watch when you can’t sleep as well. What I liked about this anime is that it has a very calm feeling like you are laying down looking at the night sky and inhabiting those feelings so well. The feeling of this anime is so unique from its incredible styled soundtrack being a slow bpm with a soothing guitar or soothing vocals and the rest of the music being very cutesy with an amazing opening as well, just makes watching this anime even more enjoyable for me. The vibe on this anime is very sleepy or dreamy, kind of calm when it’s night and they are doing their activity or chatting, it’s like staying up in sleepover. You get to experience this vi

 Iyashikei is probably my favourite subgenre of anime. Iyashikei is a subgenre of a slice of life meant to relax the audience and unwind to the point it has a healing effect on the audience that has heartwarming moments and an escape from reality. One of my favourites of this genre that I feel like no one ever talks about or a lot of fans of the show is Amanchu!. The anime is sort of like Aria, with being heavily inspired by the anime, but also it’s different because it doesn’t have fantasy and is about diving. There’s something about combining sports or activities like fishing or diving or shogi or school band and slice of life really goes well together; as well as bringing you back to a more simpler time in your life where everything was easier, and I believe that is the purpose for slice of life. I love this anime to death, even though it gets an average score, but to me I actually don’t know why it’s like that because it’s amazing. The story is about a green-haired girl called Hika

 Haibane Renmei is about a girl called Rakka who is reborn as an angel from a cocoon and doesn’t remember who she is or anything about her which is common with the other people she lives with. Rakka develops wings, as it’s common with the people like her who were also from cocoon’s. Rakka goes throughout the story, with dissociation from herself and the world; I can’t stump what her purpose is in the world or why she’s there. Her wings get darker and full of oil when her mental state is worsening and at the start she has to develop her wings, which was very brutal to experience being in her shoes. I’d have to compare her character to Lain where she is listless all the time, and is always curious about outside her little village which she is not allowed out of without someone else. This anime shows that everyone faces the same issues with existence but doesn’t show and has to find their peace in the world or be ignorant of it. It also has themes of the afterlife as they are reborn into
