Blue Period

I fell in love with the anime right from the start, it's really captivating to watch the artists express themselves in a distinctive way through art, Art isn't what we claimed to be , it's far more perceivable!

Watching Yaguchi Yattora make mistakes and start getting good at art was a nice experience.

I highly recommend it.

Great narration. First episode is enough to make a strong impression in viewers' heart and mind. I loved the concept and execution overall. Wonderful 👍

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.

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 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.
