Link Click

That freaking cliffhanger at the end was so unexpected! The concept of this donghua is amazing and the execution of it was on par with it. Some episodes seem unrelated at first but every episode builds up to the next, and the nuances of the characters were great. The songs featured in the episodes also really contributed to the overall experience, and kudos to the entire team that worked on this because they did an incredible job.

Link Click is another anime that can be claimed as a hidden gem or masterpiece, given the nature of the anime which deals with time travel concept with lots of emotions and development as well.

It started of very well with basic storyline of 2 friends who completes their clients request by diving into the photos, but towards the end it became more of a psychological thriller, with some twists and turns at the end of show. Just clocking at 11 episodes, the first season of Link Click was thrilling, enjoyable and will keep you at the edge of your seats. Eagerly waiting for the sequel to drop.

Lastly, the soundtrack of the anime was brilliant. It had good beats with great ending song/rap and overall the soundtrack was brilliant itself. The animation can't be ignored, because it was well animated, with the characters being stylish and presentable at the same time.

My Rating : 9/10.

UPDATE after S2: This show is competing for GOAT on my list now. S2 takes on more of a single storyline, and it dials up the emotional and thriller aspects up to 11. There's one episode in particular that follows the antagonist's journey from normalcy to demonic vengefulness, which is animated in a really unique style, and with masterful and gut-wrenching storytelling. Now waiting on S3 on this main arc (gave Bridon arc a try, it's not bad but didn't keep my interest as much so it's on pause for me currently).

BTW, IMDB has the episode "Marrying by Contesting" in the wrong order as E1S12 . IIRC it should be episode 2-4 or somewhere about there.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: This show is so well written. It sets up deep sentimental moments based on various relationships between family, friends, and lovers. If you don't cry and laugh through this series, you might not be human. The time travel compliment is definitely an interesting aspect to create the thrills and provide the story infrastructure, but the setup of emotional relationships is the series't rue strength. I never thought I'd be the type to be into sentimental dramatic scenes and payoffs, but this show has changed it for me. Would recommend to anyone.

The artistic choices and style of animation, as well as the music are all stellar and top-notch. The stories in this show are all realistic and draw heavy inspiration from real life events. The entire cast of characters are personable and likeable; even the side characters.

I highly recommend this show. It has such an interesting mystery and concept and executed it very well. Can't wait for season 2.

Wow wow wow...This show is simply awesome. The plot is great, the storyline is great, the character design is great, the bgm works and both the opening and ending theme songs are great. The climax will surely blow your mind. This show is already a masterpiece.

I can't wait for the next season!
