I agree with the other reviews here. At the beginning I thought I was hoping to watch some kind of series where the characters will study to become the idols. So I was expecting a lot of music related stuff. Like composing lyrics, taking inspiration from quests to make dances...
But then, it was kind of eclectic, so to speak. For instance, there was an episode where the girls entered a game RPG-like and they just played there with no relation to the main plot of the series. Others were more on topic, like composing lyrics, for instance. But then the last ones, I mean, a skateboarding competition? It was kind of iontersting because it was different, but not related whatsoever to the main plot.
I also was expecting some kind of turning point or plot twist regarding one of the characters, but that never came. You end the series without knowing some of the aspects of the characters. It was very anti-climatic and disappointing.
Maybe I am a guy, but I was not feeling any kind of connection with the characters. I must say that shoujo is not usually my thing, but I have see series and I like some of them. Little Witch TV Academia it was a not that bad series about girls in a witch academy.
They had to solve obstacles, study and in the middle of all of that they became friends. But, as said, here in that Kizuna series there was not that kind of progression. Only the firsts episodes or some random ones were kind of interesting if you like music—or idols, specifically.
There is even a second season that I don't understand why it is there. It is not that I am refusing to watch it, but after just finished the first one, I think I am going to make a pause to start watching it hoping two things. That it gets better or that I am in another mood and I don't think about dropping it from the first episode.
Overall, a TV series that targets more feminine personalities, kind of boring. As I have said previously, I think the show could have benefit of some kind of progression. Like on each episode, for instance, assigning a study, compose lyrics, how to dress properly... Also the video sequences dancing and stuff... uhm, not my cup of tea.
I was also expecting a big ending with some kind of competition, but as I also already said, not a skateboarding competition not related whatsoever with the main plot of the show, or the supposedly main plot.
It is also worth noting that I just watched from two to three episodes per day. I think if I were to watch more than that I probably should have drop the series before the five episode. So, of you are up for show to watch sparingly, this may be your kind of show.
