"Whenever our eyes met, we would definitely look away for a moment, and then look at each other again." -Yoshioka Futaba (Ao Haru Ride)

          This week's anime review is based on Ao Haru Ride or in other words, Blue Spring Ride. This is a cute and loving story for those who love romance. This anime also has a bit of comedy and drama as well and the story is well developed. A must watch for those who watch this type of anime genre. In addition, there's a complete total of 13 episodes and there's also the manga if you prefer to read it instead. Either way, enjoy this week's anime review.

Synopsis:This anime basically revolves around 17 year-old Futaba Yoshioka, a high school student who used to be pretty attractive and popular with the guys in middle school. However, many girls despised this fact. Due to her inferiority complex, she tried to change in a way that doesn't get her too much attention so she acts less feminine per say or in others words, less cute. This way, she tends to stand out a bit more like a tomboy. But before changing that way, she had a classmate named Kou Tanaka who she met one day under the rain and developed a mutual love for. Several things happen and fast story short, he disappears out of sight. Now in high school, she unexpectedly meets Kou again but under a different last name which is Mabuchi. But his character also changed as he is more cold and rude.

Art/Animation: I think that the art displayed for this anime is amazing. I really liked it a lot and the color scheme was perfect. I also liked the character designs. I believe that each character was individually well developed. The whole anime gave off this cutesy vibe as there were some scenes that had sparkles and this light aura in the background. As for the animation, no problems here. I thought this whole anime was great. I loved it when I first watched it and I still re-watch it till this day. I've also read the manga and there's some good stuff there because the anime stops at a certain point and doesn't complete the whole story. So I recommend doing both.

Here are some funny clips that I though were pretty fun to watch...

Music/Op/Ed: Another thing that I enjoyed about this anime was the opening and the song with it. It was very up to beat and cheerful and happy and so full of joy. Well it is in my opinion. It was very colorful and it was very enthralling. As for the ending, it was also pretty good. It kinda goes for a more mellow tune all was good.

Overall, this concludes this week's anime review. Tune in next time.
