Insomniacs After School

I'm trying to think of something to criticize about the series, but nothing comes to mind. It is very well done animation-wise, and the music is beautiful. The romantic storyline feels very realistic and believable, but at the same time, it is charming, it doesn't push too hard, and everything has a nice flow. Moreover, there are hints of drama (you might even think it could end up like Your Lie in April), but the creators also know how to resolve the drama in a way that makes sense. The characters behave completely naturally, according to their age, while being incredibly likable. And the best thing is the overall atmosphere. It's no wonder. The Lindenfilms studio recently showed that they can perfectly capture the magic of the night, and they continue to do so here. And it's not just the night but also various magical places in Japan that the series takes us to. Plus, the work with a camera is portrayed very accurately. I have already mentioned that these are the best-looking and most realistically behaving animated cats that I have had the opportunity to see in all the years of watching anime. I was curious about the ending, and I was very pleased. On the one hand, some storylines were ideally concluded, so I feel a sense of satisfaction, but on the other hand, I realize there is still room for continuation, which I wouldn't mind at all. In short, the finale convinced me that this is a 5* series. Even though the show occasionally felt a bit dragged out in the middle (so there is something for me to criticize), I still think it deserves no less than 9/10.
