Cuki ga kirei

Cuki ga kirei (2017) 

This is an understated story of a love that is born slowly, reaches its fulfillment, and gains intensity with each obstacle the characters overcome. It is really very unusual to watch a love story that feels this natural, does not use unnecessary props to make it feel as dramatic as possible, and most importantly, has no unnecessary overacting. This is real, it is human, and thanks to an absolutely brilliantly handled ending, it ends up being an intense experience that leaves the viewer with a really nice feeling of satisfaction. I was left more or less cold by its normality in the beginning. I was also left cold because of the way some of the problems sort of solved themselves. Some were too normal, even to the point of being slightly apathetic. However, thanks to the conclusion, where the screenwriters proved that they could create emotional situations and handle them satisfactorily, I feel like praising them. Tsuki ga Kirei is such a nice advertisement for love, showing us how great love can be. Sure, many things here go a little too smoothly, and at times I feel like I am looking at the world through rose-tinted glasses, but on the other hand, why not? After all, a work that tells us that everything is possible if you want it to be and that actually everything can somehow be handled normally is something that can motivate a person, charge them with positive energy, and this definitely has its importance. I could go on and on about how the animation style did not really appeal to me, although I liked the soundtrack. I could talk about the characters and how the two main protagonists were normal (yes, this is what people from the normal student category are supposed to look like) but likable, even though that does not change the result too much. Nice - 7.8/10. (03.07.2017)
