The love I feel for Toilet Bound-Hanako-Kun is beyond me. The characters, the art, the plot⦠Everything about this anime is perfect.
Letās talk about the art first, one of my favorite things in this anime. Itās so vibrant, itās like watching a dream unfold in front of you. All the details put into every frame is amazing, theyāre subtle but still there. In every episode thereās always something new to look at, whether itās a new scene or setting. Maybe itās a new creature, or character.. Itās like the art never gives you a break, itās always popping out at you. Each episode more vibrant than the last, but you can never get tired of it.
Okay okay, now letās talk about the characters. Theyāre so nicely written, all of them. Even the side characters that we donāt see often in the series. I love how there is always emotions pouring from these characters, all these expressions and movements are just stunning.
Now letās talk about the plot and anime as a whole. I like that the episodes arenāt repetitive, and weāre always learning something new about each character, making us say ājust one more episodeāā¦ā¦ Then, five episodes later, weāre not done yet haha! I think thatās a problem in a lot of anime, where the whole show is based off of one goal which leads to a lot of repetitive episodes and dragged-on fight scenes⦠*cough* naruto.. *cough* yāall heard that? All jokes aside and no hate to naruto, itās hard to keep a consistent pace without getting repetitive! But TBHK really executed that well (in my opinion).
Now that iāve got you hooked (if you read this far), let me explain what TBHK is actually about and where to watch it. So the anime starts us off in a vibrant school with the cute character Yashiro Nene, a first-year high schooler. A rumor has been spread around school that if you go to one of the bathroom stalls in a certain place in the building, you can summon Hanako-San of the toilet. Supposedly, she will grant you a wish with some consequenceļæ¼. Nene really wanted a boyfriend, and after many failed attempts she resorts to going to Hanako-San of the toiletā¦. Who appeared was NOT what she expected. I wonāt get into any more detail, but to keep it short Nene and Hanako have a lot of fun together, and they have really cute and funny moments as well. And I almost forgot! Where to watch this anime? You can watch it on Hulu, but if you donāt have that you could watch it on YouTube for $1.99 or Amazon Prime for the same price.
I recommend this anime to anyone that likes a little bit of romance and comedy at the same time! Itās worth it. (can you tell how much I love this anime?)
Also here are two songs that remind me of TBHK, if anyone is interested in listening to them.
