Yatora Yaguchi recently abandoned the old academic path to pursue his artistic dreams. But wanting to be an artist is much easier than developing the skills to achieve your goals. Does this highly emotional drama capture the anxious nature of young artists?

The series is now playing on Netflix

Now, if they integrate some subtitle software that can handle on-screen text, and pay their translators a reasonable salary, we might gain something! However, I think it's baby steps.

I know this is self-explanatory for starting any type of hobby, working hard to acquire new skills or talents. But the amazing thing about art is that most people just look at it without realizing how much thought and time have been invested. Therefore, treat this anime as a different world, in which our punk protagonist Yaguchi Yahoo will one day transfer from his carefree lifestyle to another world full of new feelings and knowledge.

Reminds me of a lot of studio girls from last season! ! Because I think this is "a useful adaptation of a great comic, it can use more oomf but still hit all the right beats."

But I agree that these paintings themselves usually do a good job of adapting to the context and conveying the message they must convey. It's like, even my untrained eyes can see that Yaguchi's first "fetters" work shows that he followed the mission, but didn't really understand its core. This is a strange kind of oppression, he obviously didn't mean it.

I also really like the quick transition of this drawn apple. It's just some neat things piled on a damn good song.
