Review on Healer Girl
(Note: I’m not a pro this is literally only the second time I’m doing this) One of the animes I strongly believe is underrated this anime season. I’d say not as underrated as “Let’s make a Mug too!” but I don’t see Healer Girl talked about as often as it too. The art, story, voice acting, animation and music is all good. Here’s the synopsis:
An established discipline on par with conventional medical approaches, "vocal medicine" is the practice of using songs to treat health conditions and injuries. Young people around the world strive to master the art and become "healers" to help people through the power of their voices.
Among the many healers in training is Kana Fujii, a naturally talented singer who was inspired to pursue the profession after a life-changing experience. Along with the driven Reimi Itsushiro and the easygoing Hibiki Morishima, Kana trains at Karasuma Phoniatric Clinic under the stern yet kind mentorship of Ria Karasuma. As they endeavor to achieve their dreams, Kana and her friends meet various colorful healers along the way, discovering that there is much more to vocal medicine than just diligent studying!
The anime focuses on healing by singing, something that I’ve never seen before. Now I can say that I want to see another anime focusing on something similar.
Characters
I personally liked all the characters, including the supporting ones. Everyone did their role, mains being mains and supporting charas being the supporting charas. Idk when it comes to uniqueness as I can’t recall every anime chara I know, but even so they don’t remind me of anyone so I guess they’re kinda unique for me.
Character Development & Story
I’m not really the person to notice these sorts of things, but I can say that the characters really all changed by the end of the 12 episode series. They gained more confidence when singing and more control under pressure. They improved in a lot of areas imo. That definitely includes their control when singing.
About the OST, or the songs
The songs we’re without a doubt amazing. Perfectly fits the theme of this series, by being songs that people feel healed by listening to. The OP and ED are definitely poggers too imo. I definitely liked them. Just thought that needed to be talked about first, as I felt like the songs we’re really important when it came to this series. As Healer Girl focuses on singing songs that can heal people. So the songs need to be real good, which the song writers really were able to do, big props to them.
Art, Animation & Backgrounds
All of these more or less fall in the same area for me. The art style was definitely great, I like the smooth feeling of it. The colors we’re great too, really showed that this story is happy, and when it turns around the colors chosen also really showed the feeling of that scene. Animation was not as great as the big animes, like Demon Slayer, AoT, etc. But for what it is I’m very satisfied, felt smooth and not like meh, it was pretty good imo. For backgrounds, not really a big part of my review, but I could tell that work definitely went into it, so props to the backgrounds artists. Idk how to even draw a tree.
TL;DR
Healer Girl is a 12 episode anime that focuses on healing by singing. Underrated, I don’t see much people talk about it, which is sad imo. Story good, character development good, art and animation good. Big props to the song writers for the music, I thought it was fantastic. Tbh songs do kinda soothe people, and some can even affect how one can feel. The healing part is definitely true and it was shown in this series. A definite recommendation from me, but take note that I’m literally pleased with anything. I watched a lot of anime this season and approved of all of them after the first eps. So I’m sorry if you thought that I was praising this series too much. Not feeling like putting this one in my favorites, but it’s definitely very good. I suggest ya’ll give it a watch.

If ya read all the way here, appreciate it. :D
