Okay so like I knew I was gonna cry.
But like does the subtitle thingy really have to be “Can’t say goodbye. I’m still drifting with your echoes.” Like wtf is that. If Tik Tok hadn’t told me I was going to cry, that sure as hell would have.
N E Ways, the music was fantastic. Absolutely beautiful. It’s really hard for a song to have good translated lyrics. I had an ex that liked to say BTS songs were garbage. He was always like, “Have you read them in English? They’re horrible.” I had to agree with him, but then I realized the reverse was true as well. I’m certain English lyrics translated into any other language sounds ridiculous. It’s hard to capture the nuances of language when things are translated.
My whole point is that the lyrics sounded amazing in Japanese and read just as well in English.
I didn’t cry cry. I got teary eyed but didn’t ugly cry. Which is honestly a blessing because my roommates would not like that. I don’t think I didn’t cry because the anime was overhyped though. It deserves all the hype it’s getting. This anime was well crafted. It makes me sad that they didn’t continue it, but its a shoujo. Only shonen get multiple seasons. (Did I just recently rewatch Ouran High School Host Club and am now bitter? yes) I appreciate that the movie only added to the plot and wasn’t just added for the sake of adding.
This anime taught me a lot about love that I hadn’t expected to learn. I don’t think I can put what I learned into words. I think that's the whole point though. It’s the power of music you know?
It’s one in the morning so I’m just rambling at this point, but I loved this anime. I have the soundtrack playing on loop.
I AM SUCH A SLUT FOR DOUBLE ROMANCES. It feeds my hopeless romantic heart. So we get a double gif. Hehe.
So I may be back to watching anime. Who knows. I’m trying to finish Banana Fish, but I am not emotionally ready. That’s the next one I will write about though. Any bets on how long it’ll take me?
At this rate, it might be another year.
