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.

If you love Violet Evergarden you will love this one.

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!

I've watched almost every good movie and series out there, Anime or otherwise. But I have never before been compelled to write an review here on imdb like I have after I watched Carole and Tuesday today. To be honest I couldn't stop watching this because it was so good and when I say good is the emotions in the voice actors and in the people that have worked with this show, you can really feel it, it's not about the story or the animation. Its about something else, Its about a spark that just really shows how much effort and joy they have put into making this anime. To be honest it made me feel good! It had energy! I really enjoyed this more than I have enjoyed any other series for a very long time. I laughed and I cried while watching these episodes which is not something I have done in a long time. You should watch this if you haven't already I would recommend it to anyone. I'm not promising a revolutionary masterpiece, only that it's entertaining and will make you fell good and to be honest, isn't that what it's all about?
