JC staff is cooking well,
the running moment, faces reaction and lil bit of life is in animation
and the overall fluidity is great
i can see who would like this, MEE who keeps obsessing over each watch especially when it will drew you into it and make you live there, so it's a joy to see, i keep watching a single ep for hour
The Switch blows me away like Utage with wind during the transition with the music in the bg each time
the songs OP ED and Insert are all made by the group F/ACE itself (the dance in the OP was sugoiii, that i was dancing along)
i started to notice the OST it's emotional. the 3 OST with piano plays with her when she feels her emotions breaking, i watched that on repeat
i wonder when's the OST get released i wanna listen to them
BOTH of them still doesn't understand why they're attracted to each other
induced so many feelings, was smiling laughing and scratching my head and even get anxious about what's gonna happen next
I just realized that most of the show i watch has Hayami Saori and her Kinoshita Utage character in here is the attraction that made me wanna watch every sec of it
her work in here made the character come to life - stellar voice acting
also to mention the idol themselves are a group who gave voice to the characters they sing well that it blends with the show especially the songs
lastly the fun and the on-point comedy of the exaggerated A & B sides of the idol group likable characters and their chemistry between them and the main pair keeps the show interesting
#---- #Spoilers ----
the story goes from her doing her housekeeper job to getting to know all the F/ACE stories and developing relations with gimehara-kun (gloomy)
the story goes of Tamon*(not that full backstory), Ouri - to win their parents, Keito - wanna help his family, Natsu - feeling too hard on himself as he broken someone's life (not the case)
i liked the Natsu Story to follow - he blames himself even though it's the situation
the story is an exaggerated fantasy of an idol Obsessed girl and her god's another side yet set in realistic grounds
in the end i just wanted to see more of it
i feel bittersweet in the end that she couldn't say it and can only hide as her pride doesn't let her, the commitment to the idol path
i even fantasized when she said that she wouldn't want to be someone who'll harm tamon that she's gonna become someone worthy like a celebrity herself but (my fantasy like her)
it's down to earth she's in school still and her hobby was cooking and housekeeping so she continues to stand by his side and support him
while this diabetic show makes me heartache on the forever hiding
As someone who likes Good Ending (WHO DOESN'T)
i really hope they accept each other feelings as the story goes, i understand there is a draw between a fan turned supportive housekeeper.
As like Utage-chan i too am conflicted whether she should open up or not but lean more on the side of, she's a Tamon Stan but ended up falling for his original personality so
still they should accept each other feelings otherwise i feel like the story is likely tryna stay true to the ideal and shower with other stories more along with subtle developments.
hope there will be S2 that may cover the main story of what i want to know i.e Utage X Tamon
If you read till this i pass you the moral dilemma - whether is it better for them to be Happy Together or be the ideal of the fan-idol distance forever
you already know the answer of mine
this show has been such a delight, I'm someone who's fantasy obsessed but this made me never hesitate and i was excited to watch more and more
yappari, i prefer the Fast-Burn rom-com unlike these Slow-Burn ones which affect me on a different way with hope and anxious of what would happen after, will this end in good way? or there is a possibility of going downhill? :(
