This will be my first time writing an anime review in AL, so please pardon me for any mistakes.

If i can summarize this anime in 2 words then it would be : Almost Perfect. I was glad that i am able to watch this anime, although not exactly my favorite anime (because favorite anime is all about personal preferences), Iroduku is one of the best anime in their genres ever made so far IMO.

I will be reviewing about Story, Art, Music, Chara Dev, Romance, and Drama. I also would avoid spoilers as much as possible.

Story: 9 / 10
For you readers that are not aware about how the story went for this anime, this anime is about a girl named Hitomi that lost her emotions because of certain things. Because of that, her grandmother sent her back to her high school life (supposedly back to 2018 from 2078). In 2018, Hitomi learnt to grew back her lost emotions through her new friends and young-grandma, and learned how to live with emotions.

The story itself was very well-written, although it is kinda disappointing that it felt rushed on the few last episodes. Even though it's a fantasy, you could see that the anime itself was actually making sense.

What prevents me from giving a full 10 is because the ending is actually quite disappointing, although i won't say that i hate it (because it makes sense).

Chara Dev: 8 / 10
The characters in this anime are all growing in the course of the anime. I can not give long explanations about this one since i need to explain a lot about how the story goes, and i do think this anime is better watched without spoilers. But what can i say is, you can absolutely expect a good chara dev.

Music: 10 / 10
One word : Perfect. The opening was sang by Haruka to Miyuki and was titled 17sai. In my opinion, the opening was one of the best anime OP of all time, they really nailed it. The insert songs and ED were also amazing. You definitely have heard the opening on youtube i bet!

Art : 10 / 10
The animations were beautiful, so beautiful that you wouldn't think that this anime came from 2018. I think if you were to watch this in 2025 you would still think that the animations was amazing. This is how good the animations are.

~~new waifu~~ new best waifu

Romance: 8.5 / 10
The romance aspect, yeah. T.T

I also can't say much about the romance since this would really be a huge spoiler, but this is not what you would eat if you're a hardcore fans of drama-romance anime (let's say for anime like CLANNAD). You get the romance, but you can't help but to wish for more.

Drama : 9 / 10
Depends on your PoV, This anime can be a real tearjerker or even not at all. Again, i can't say much because it would be a heavy spoiler but i think this is not what you would expect if you're a hardcore drama-romance anime.

The drama aspect was great, it's just because of how the story seems rushed in the end i still see more potentials coming from it

Conclusion : 9.5 / 10

I wish there's more to come from this anime, maybe what-ifs movie, or OVAs or whatever. Would definitely looking forward for that!

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!
