Carole & Tuesday

Carole & Tuesday does a great job getting you to care about all of its characters and feel genuine concern when things don't go their way. Throughout the anime's run, I was genuinely invested in where the characters were going to end up, how they would make it through road blocks, and felt disheartened when things didn't go their way.

This anime tackles some subject matter that I can't say I've seen in others, which makes it stand out as very modern. While I applaud Carole & Tuesday for even attempting to breach these topics, I feel like its ambition got in the way of it being able to reach a meaningful conclusion. Things like immigration, government corruption, and police brutality hardly have a neat solution in real life, so it's easy to see how their inclusion might mean the ending isn't as fulfilling as it could have been; things wrap up way too quickly and neatly here to feel meaningful.

Despite my feelings toward the anime's ending, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Carole & Tuesday. It has nice animation, great and catchy music, and a well-rounded cast that makes it easy to recommend to anyone.

This anime reminded me so much of Nana! I absolutely loved. It made me cry, it made me laugh. I would recommend it to anyone.

Sure they have some of the usual girls make it big story, but the story is so much more lovely and sweet than that. I genuinely adore this anime and am happy for the change of pace.

Yes you can pan it off as simple and boring, but characters are endearing, the music is soulful and in true Watanabe style, everything is not as is it seems. Btw this whole show takes place in the future on Mars and gingerly incorporates that into the backdrop of the story, never shoving it in your face but allowing you to admire it from a far. Overall, this is a soulful, funny and endearing show that always catches you off guard in true Watanabe style!

This anime is from the director of cowboy bebop and samurai champloo, so I watch this with high expectations. Although it may appear to be more slow with its slice of life tone in a futuristic world. For a sci fi anime, the story is easy to follow. Its about two girls who share a love through music. They write and create their own music in a world where A.I. created music is the norm. They go through a music competition and more characters are introduced. Almost paroding America's got Talent with its unique and comical characters. Unlike most idol anime, there's no cheesy fan service and the animation is fluid. The soundtrack is phenomenal and attracts its western audience with its English songs in different genres of music.
