Run with the Wind~

Three Words.

I. Love. It!

As you can tell, I have finished! And have even made another entry dedicated for this.
GOD, Honestly how could I missed this anime!?! It's soooo underrated.

ABSOLUTELY love it!! OMG 100% 10/10- Very motivational
I just love this type of show where the characters really does develops and you can definitely see the change not just in the main character but others too where they change for the better!!! It's an absolutely life changer.
Not exaggerating but I feel it's one of those anime that really does lift you up from your depression spiritually/ mentally. It really change your perspective of how you see things in various way, one of which is definitely running but in general such as what life really is...
However be warned that at the same time, this anime's also gonna make you feel somewhat empty as you finish the show. I know I did lol, think I am going to stop watching anime in a mean time.

Basically taken and edited from Wikipedia once again, this show is about a former elite runner at high school named Kakeru who is chased for stealing food. He is saved by a Kansei University student Haiji, who is also a runner. Haiji persuades Kakeru to live in the old dormitory "Chikuseisou" where he plans to team up with fellow residents to enter the Hakone Ekiden relay marathon, one of the most prominent university races in Japan. Kakeru soon finds out that all of the residents except for Haiji and himself are complete novices.

I 1000% +, no, more like indefinitely and highly recommend this anime! It has now landed into my top number 1 anime show especially in the sports field. It's definitely an entry to make and to watch for. I really will miss this show as it was an absolute rollercoaster in the most painful yet fulfilling way. Simply Gold.

Born to be Wild...

A Mid Review this time! in the midst of the Coronavirus Gosh, am I super glad to have come across this anime! Like when was the last time I watched a non romance one? ......2-3 years ago!?! It's a sports show and now that I think about it, the last time I watched along that line was Yuri on Ice and Free Season 1. Both of which are quite good but they're not quite something that y'know.... brings out the edge? or makes you want to write on a spur despite them having those intense moments of competitions made here and there. ~~It must be the fan service~~

This anime has a flavour of reality so meaning that not only does it has a comedic acts but it brings out some real deep meaning making you have some good 'reflection' as you go along. Most importantly there's a lot of character development. Huge commandment to that! Love that a good show that actually brings out action, and I can also see the subtle differences made by the studio such as the when the characters undergo physical changes, and no I don't mean the men's abs *Ahem* (Free~)

Anyhow! Back on "track", maybe it's just me but you can see the physical changes when their skin tone change as they train under the hot sun (episode 12?) lol the attention to detail is great

Blimey, this anime got me hooked! Also the soundtrack is so amazing! Did I tell you that was the one that got me into this anime? Hahaha

(Should have mentioned it from the start)

*Actually Insert the song*

Ok that's it guys, still haven't finish the anime yet so shall be here to finish that but I just cannot wait. Till then, gonna make a dash for this show 💨

UPDATE: 13/03/2020-

Annndddd Finished this anime so Check out my review onto the next post! It needs to be recognised hehe.

Kokoro Connect

~✨~✨~✨~✨~✨~✨~

Written on: Friday 13/03/2020
But finished this anime: Monday 02/03/202

Kokoro connect, an anime that I can't believe that I have either missed and/ put on hold?! It's a 2012 animation, Like Wow! Where have I been? Lol

Synopsis taken from Wikipedia and edited

The story primarily involves five high school students - Taichi, Iori, Himeko, Yoshifumi, and Yui - all whom are members of a club called: Student Cultural Research Club, at the high school they attend. They all face different phenomena in their daily lives, all seemingly caused by a cryptic entity which refers to itself as 'Heartseed', who is intent on using the phenomena to test them for an unknown goal. As the five undergo these phenomena, the strength of their bonds will be tested.

Story: 9/10 + (Artwork 7/10) - Mostly the story I am interested. It has a good plot and despite some supernatural elements, it underlies realistic part of our life such as identity which till this day I am still trying to find out. It almost cover what is life in general. So relatable. A rollercoaster in the most vivid way you can imagine, and by that I meant surrealism is also included in here like their desires (spoiler alert!) are been put through a trial.

Absolutely love it. I just love this type of show where the characters really does develops especially Iori. What's more, this anime suprisingly has a different storyline almost 2-3 episodes each time so you won't feel bored of just having to watched the same thing over and over again which was what I first thought initially. Having different storylines captivates the people even more to carry on, thereby makes it into my entry of a good anime lol.

'Edited' Conclusion: Overall it's about 8/10 relative to other shows that I have watched so far. Check out: Run with the Wind
Would I recommend this anime? Yes, I would recommend especially to those who wants to find out what is identity like me is as this story absolutely questions yourself what you are.
