I just finished watching Her Blue Sky and I LOVED it!! This movie was so cute and my heart is so full.
“But Crow,” you might be saying, “why are you watching that instead of watching the last four episodes of Haikyu?”
Because I’m a wimp and I don’t want Haikyu to end. Also I want to watch it when I really have the emotional energy for it, not just reserves. It deserves all the emotions I can spare it.
That said, moving on to talking about Her Blue Sky! Spoilers below.
Okay first of all, let’s get this out of the way. Aoi is a brat. I kept thinking so all throughout the movie. Do I love her anyway? Yes. But she’s a brat and I got irritated with her self-centeredness.
Akane, on the other hand? I love her so much. She’s so sweet and I was rooting for her and Shinosuke the whole time. Honestly I admire her. She’s got such a good heart and an amazing work ethic and she’s so selfless. It’s inspiring!
I’m gonna mention Tsugu because I loved him throughout the whole movie. He’s probably one of my favorites. I could tell pretty early on he had a thing for Aoi, and I was glad to be proven right. He’s a good kid and he’s good for her and when he‘s older I think they’ll be a great match! (When I tell you I turned to AO3 and was crushed to discover that not only are there no fics about them, there are no Her Blue Sky fics in general.)
I don’t like Shinosuke. I just can’t bring myself to. He’s an arrogant jerk and a drunk. But the scene where he played for Akane and made her laugh made me happy. And if she still loves him and he makes her happy and if he’s going to get his head screwed on straight and treat her right, then I’m happy they’re together.
Now, time for my favorite character…
Shinno!
OH MY GOSH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. WHAT THE HECK.
He’s such a sweet guy and he cares so much about Akane and he’s such a good big-brother-figure to Aoi!! He’s such a goofball and so optimistic and a bit childish and he’s got so much golden retriever energy, but he’s also really mature.
I think I have a new fictional crush, y’all.
Look at this idiot /affectionate
Like SIR. WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO BE SO GOSH DARN FREAKIN’ ADORABLE!?
have I convinced you to watch it yet?
Seriously. It’s well worth it even if only for him (Akane and Tsugu are so worth it too btw. I love them both.)
9/10 movie, will absolutely be watching again and Shinno will probably live in my head rent free for a while after this.
