Blue Period

What I liked- 1. Heartwarming tale about the struggles and success of a novice.

2. great character depth 3. Animation is simple yet beautiful.

What I didn't enjoy- 1. Meddling with too many themes at one time makes it incomplete.

This is an endearing and encouraging story for all the artists who are trying to find their voice but struggling with their inner critic. There are also some tips and tricks on how one can practice. The blue period is one of the famous titles of Picasso's paintings - it's supposed to be reflective and emotional. The show delivered that beautifully. It was very easy to empathize with the character who is trying his hardest to become good at his craft. It's also funny how art school stereotypes are portrayed in the show. We get a glimpse into other characters who are struggling in different ways. I think everyone will find a type which will fit their nature.

There is a strong focus on a character's gender identity. But since they aren't the mc, I felt their character was added for the drama and the plot was handled haphazardly.

So, all in all, it's a good show which will touch the hearts of artists the most. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will remember the validation I got from it for a long time.

The stand out of this show is the wonderful animation. However, it stills holds some substance behind it's pretty face. It's a very relatable story and i think a lot of people can connect with the character and the hardships he goes through.

8.6/10.

What is art and what is uniqueness? Art isn't just painting and it's unique so it doesn't mean that there wasn't anything that inspired the result.

If you want an answer about these " should I watch it, Is it my type, Or Is it worth to watch" I say you should watch it. It might be something you need or like. You might even be attached to it. And if you are planning to give it a try, you should atleast watch 3 episode. Afterwards it will hit to you surely.

Sometimes it goes deep into story telling and human thinking and emotions, which hit's.

There is a lot you can learn about art and painting from it. It's an obvious answer.

You can learn what's going on in painters mind while the person is making the art.

While all the praise being done. It's not a typical series which you get entertainment and stuff.

And it's also not mind blowing or masterpiece. It makes an mood seeing the story so you don't need to prepare your mind that you are watching something different than others.

After all of this I will say that it will make your time. I would recommend a binge watch.

I will give it a rating of 7.6

It is my very first review, so if you are reading this I would like to thank you.

And a gift from me in this internet orianted world be some high class recommendation, from different genra and mediums.

Based on a manga series that won the Grand Prize of the 13th Manga Taisho Awards, this revolves around popular second year high school student Yatora Yaguchi. Hard-working Yatora spends his nights hanging out with his friends but still manages to be an honor student. He didn't have an idea what to put on his career planning survey form until he saw an artwork created by Maru Mori, a member of their school art club. He develops a fascination for the arts and joins the club.

Since his parents are not moneyed, he could only hope to go to a public school in college. He sets his sights on Tokyo University of the Arts. To be able to pass the entrance test to TUA, Yatora goes to a prep school where the knowledge he learns in high school is augmented with more advanced techniques.

I love Yatora's introspective journey as he gains more confidence in his talent. The lectures and processes (sketching, use of colors, reviews, etc) are extremely interesting, if not informative. I looked forward to seeing the finished artworks. Yatora does not consider himself talented but is willing to work hard. The support he gets from his teachers push him in the right direction. His friendships with his buddies as well as art classmate cross-dresser Ryuji "Yuka" Ayukawa and the snobby art genius Yotasuke Takahashi are heartwarming.

All in all, this is a lovely and enjoyable watch.

This was my favourite anime in Fall 2021. When it comes to story it's pretty simple, but I really liked it's representation of art as a career and different goals that an artist has to achieve to be successful. One thing I loved about this story was the conflict between talented and hard working people. While people often envy a talented person because they don't have to work hard to be successful, talented people also envy the ones who work hard to achieve their goals because they are the ones who get praised for their hard work. While for a talented person people assume that their success is assured, so no one shares their joy of success. I really liked this theme.
