Have ever imagined wanting to write a review for an anime that aired before I was born? in 2024 where all anime looks very beautiful?! here want to dedicate all passion to onii-sama e.. just for my precious Kaoru-no-Kimi
succeeded because of one story, not the main character but a supporting named Kaoru who brought me to the finish line. So can I write a review just for her?
synopsis: Kaoru no Kimi, a beautiful girl, good at sports, the idol of the whole school, her world is very perfect.. how the angel will fall when her wings are cut and can't fly because of a sudden illness, she lies, smiles, and crying alone. keep trying to be a leader.. giving hope in the darkness.
Here we see how amazing Kaoru's psychological powers are can still fight ,seek justice from school elite group that setting many standards for girls, making them birds in cages or beautiful dolls.
Even though the story focuses on "shoujo-ai", Kaoru focuses more on being a good friend and leadership so in my eyes this story is now in the genre "friendship" and " "drama"
plot: 9/10 in this story you will find many forms of love in various arcs. Kaoru's love story will be at the very end, (36-39) like a very precious strawberry, bittersweet.
soundtrack: 7/10 heart-wrenching, and sometimes silent without a sound to hear all the sadness coming from her tears.
art: 6/10 can't deny the design is very old school, but the panorama they provide, the color of sunset, blue of ocean. birds flying in the sky.comes from miraculous hands and great effort,realize it in an instant and amazed.
VA : 9/10 with old school art.. honestly sometimes the expressions on their faces are unreadable but voice actors who can convey emotions can still leave a mark in my heart,
confused and indecisive when the story has so many "red flags", I know not everyone will like it.. but Please give Kaoru a chance to tell her story.
