  New Year's starting off the new year with an Irate a anime

• 0:21
  So first off, if this is your first time here, welcome but if
• 0:25

• 0:33
  the YouTube So let's go right into things.
• 0:38
  So so yeah. So blue period.
• 0:41
  This one is a series that kind of came.
• 0:44
  I don't want to say came out of nowhere because I've been aware
• 0:47
  of blue period for a while because of, you know, the manga
• 0:51
  but and I always heard different things about the series but I
• 0:56
  did not expect for the for to really grasp me at the speak to
• 1:03
  me in The way that it did. And so before I dive too much
• 1:07
  further into this, I'm a kind of just expect that the how this is
• 1:09
  going to kind of go. I'm a speed kind of generally
• 1:13
  about the series and then I'll let y'all know before I just
• 1:18
  fully dive into spoiling stuff. Whatever.
• 1:20
  Because, of course there are some specific things I need to
• 1:23
  talk about with these series with the series, but also would
• 1:28
  just come up with just want to inform you all.
• 1:30
  Just in case of somebody's watching this for the first time
• 1:33
  not knowing what It is so blue period, basically follows or is
• 1:40
  classified as a coming-of-age saying series, follows our main
• 1:47
  character guitar. Your Gucci who is the kind of
• 1:52
  blond haired guy right there in the middle of your watching the
• 1:54
  video and he's kind of, you know, just kind of living his
• 1:59
  day-to-day life. no, this close group of friends and stuff, but
• 2:05
  things kind of Change and turn around when he's kind of just
• 2:10
  like walking through the school and passes by the art class or
• 2:15
  they aren't club or whatever, and sees a painting that just
• 2:20
  like truly inspires him and just like completely changes his
• 2:23
  basically truly changes his life and so what the series.
• 2:29
  So the anime itself is 12 episodes long it ran or are
• 2:34
  during fall season of 2021. And it was on Netflix or
• 2:39
  Netflix, is the official platform where I watched it.
• 2:42
  And this was one of the first series that Netflix aired week
• 2:46
  to week. Because you know a lot of times
• 2:48
  when Netflix gets the rights to anime, you know, it's several
• 2:53
  months, if not a year before you know it's officially available
• 2:59
  well with this as well as a company can't communicate.
• 3:02
  They did them. They were airing episodes two
• 3:05
  weeks after they didn't So that was very awesome.
• 3:09
  You know, them kind of door more worldwide releases but little
• 3:13
  bit of other just kind of just Jennifer information with the
• 3:15
  series. So the series is created by the
• 3:18
  Arthur is Tsubasa, Yamaguchi. And the manga is still currently
• 3:24
  ongoing with 11 volumes in Japan and five currently in English
• 3:31
  with volumes six and seven already having dates for volume
• 3:34
  6 4, February and bye. umm, Seven coming out sometime close
• 3:42
  to the summer and the anime covers the first 25 chapters of
• 3:47
  the manga, which goes to goes through, volume 6.
• 3:52
  So with that, all that stuff out the way.
• 3:55
  So, yeah, so so, so the series follows, like I said, you're
• 3:59
  touring your Gucci and he like, like I said, he ended up seeing
• 4:07
  just this beautiful painting. And like I said, just kind of
• 4:12
  got the ball rolling from there and then he enrolled into the or
• 4:15
  he got involved with the heart club, his school and through
• 4:21
  various characters that he meets in the class as well as the
• 4:24
  different teachers and stuff. He finds out that he's actually
• 4:31
  pretty good at drawing art and he kind of runs with that
• 4:39
  passion. Now, want one thing that I
• 4:41
  really have or that I really enjoyed about the series is I
• 4:47
  feel like, anybody, you know, can enjoy the series, but I
• 4:52
  didn't feel like, if you are a creative of any sort, whether
• 4:56
  you're a podcaster, a YouTuber artist, whatever type of no
• 5:03
  content creation, that you might do this series, just like really
• 5:09
  speaks to the core of a creative or just the Creative Drive.
• 5:15
  Just because I feel like we have all Had a project or a passion
• 5:23
  or something. That we really enjoyed whether
• 5:28
  know whether we were super good at it or not at this series.
• 5:33
  Just as really well kind of showcasing all of that stuff as
• 5:39
  well as all of the situations and people surrounding it.
• 5:42
  Because throughout this, you have not only the main
• 5:47
  character, but several, several of the other carrot cast of
• 5:52
  characters to wear, some of them have family members that are
• 5:55
  supportive of their dreams and what they want to do or they're
• 6:01
  like example, one of the character's name is maki Kawana.
• 6:06
  She has a she has an older sister who was a prodigy in art
• 6:10
  and went to big a big university.
• 6:12
  So she's kind of, you know, has a lot of expectations to live up
• 6:16
  to, as well as a sibling of a prodigy person and just kind of
• 6:21
  watching her journey through the season of stuff as well and just
• 6:27
  the whole cast of characters and I feel like like the characters
• 6:36
  And the overall themes that the city's touches on is what truly
• 6:40
  makes it shine. And truly makes it something
• 6:43
  really special that I feel like everybody should truly give it a
• 6:48
  chance in, to watch, you know, because because yeah, because
• 6:52
  like I said, I just feels like it.
• 6:55
  It just like, really speaks to anybody or can't speak to
• 6:59
  anybody. And so, yeah, with that, like I
• 7:03
  said, just I'll give it a try if you like side, definitely how
• 7:07
  hard is it? Give it, you know, my full
• 7:10
  recommendation now. I want to kind of start talking
• 7:17
  a little bit more specifically about some of the events and
• 7:20
  stuff that happened in the series.
• 7:22
  Now, I feel like like I said, feel like the sooner did good
• 7:28
  all throughout with kind of touching on some of the things,
• 7:31
  but I feel like in the back half of the season is when it like
• 7:36
  truly, like really sort of like grabbing my heart every week and
• 7:42
  just because of like certain messages and some of the
• 7:44
  characters are sad because there was a very pivotal pivotal
• 7:48
  moment that happened throughout the season that I actually
• 7:51
  talked about my podcast few weeks ago.
• 7:55
  Or one of the characters basically reaches out to the MC
• 8:02
  late at night just like hey where are you can you come meet
• 8:05
  me because you know they were going through some stuff.
• 8:07
  They really needed a friend but your Gucci huge is Betty.
• 8:11
  Kind of like not it's late. I got to school in the morning
• 8:16
  and then the framers Betsy kind of like, that's you, that's, you
• 8:21
  know, That, that is how I expect you to respond and your couch
• 8:27
  was kind of confused. And then the friend, which was a
• 8:31
  re ug, basically said, If a person is drowning your toss
• 8:41
  them, a lifesaver, but you won't jump in the water with them and
• 8:46
  another saying. That ryuji also said was, if you
• 8:49
  come across somebody that is on the side on the street naked and
• 8:57
  crying, you'll give them clothes and ask them what's wrong, but
• 9:02
  you want to strip down and you know, get naked with them.
• 9:06
  Which basically is just saying that, you know, he'll go to a
• 9:11
  certain extent to help them but he won't put himself fully in
• 9:15
  another person's shoes to fully understand them.
• 9:18
  And so that was like one moment that I really spoke to me.
• 9:23
  And kind of touching on how this season kind of wrapped up which
• 9:29
  was kind of like truly is the reason why I'm doing this review
• 9:34
  because as you know he's finishing up his arts and then
• 9:38
  that's over and then they're going to get in the results when
• 9:44
  your Gucci got the results. And saw that he passed, but then
• 9:50
  Kawana was there with him and she failed, or she didn't pass
• 9:54
  to get into college. That really hit me.
• 10:01
  I don't know why I was just like watching and then like my eyes
• 10:05
  started watering and then it's just like Karen him or seen him
• 10:10
  call his parents and tell them the news that he got accepted
• 10:13
  into this big college. And you know, some of the other
• 10:18
  people in the class like some of them, some other ones of them
• 10:21
  passed, some other ones of them, you know, did it like something.
• 10:24
  Once you start, okay? They've been good all season,
• 10:27
  they're going to pass. They did it and I think it's
• 10:30
  just you know because I feel like you know myself personally
• 10:34
  many of us we've all experienced both sides of that situation to
• 10:38
  wear something that we really wanted to go for and Achieve we
• 10:42
  failed at or something that we thought that we weren't gonna be
• 10:47
  able to pull off, we do and we pass with flying colors.
• 10:51
  As I think that all those scenarios just like really hit
• 10:56
  something deep in from my past. Or something because like, my
• 11:01
  eyes are just like water and real talk as I'm watching.
• 11:05
  You know, the season kind of wrap up with it.
• 11:10
  But, but yeah, but I am very excited to see this next chapter
• 11:16
  because, like I said, we've got the 12 episodes which was six
• 11:19
  volumes of the manga and now we're moving on to the next
• 11:22
  stage of, you know. Now he's finishing up high
• 11:25
  school and transitioning into adulthood and took Head to
• 11:29
  college life. So I'm just curious to see like,
• 11:31
  where things go from here and speaking of characters I
• 11:37
  definitely both of his main professors the older lady and
• 11:42
  then there was kind of like like the our club teacher and then
• 11:46
  the other lady that was his his instructor as he is prepared to
• 11:51
  take the college exams and stuff.
• 11:55
  I love both of them so much. They were both such awesome.
• 11:58
  Um and supportive characters and I love the finishing moment at
• 12:04
  the end, where once again, your Gucci and a a older Senpai of
• 12:12
  his Mori, they missed each other again because he had to step out
• 12:15
  the room while he was basically redrawing.
• 12:20
  His final piece that he they passed them to college.
• 12:24
  He had to go get his his high school certificate or whatever
• 12:28
  and Just missed each other. She came in and the teacher was
• 12:31
  like, Hey, basically, this is what he drew and just saying her
• 12:36
  somebody that he looks up to her art, and seeing her, see how far
• 12:42
  he's come and stuff was just a perfect way to end the season.
• 12:49
  But yeah, if if you still continue to watch this, Like I
• 12:54
  said, please go watch blue period like I said, it's on
• 12:58
  Netflix 12 episodes, you will not regret it and yeah.
• 13:05
  We have blue period, is something truly special.
• 13:11
  And I definitely feel like, definitely like it where another
• 13:13
  right under a lot of people's radar just because, you know,
• 13:16
  they're here and I do, it's anime about art or whatever.
• 13:20
  But that, basic description does not truly do.
• 13:23
  The series justice. But, yeah, I never met our
• 13:27
  Parabola now on. But I hope that you all enjoyed
• 13:31
  here in this review. I definitely want to do more of
• 13:35
  these as we go forward, you know, just because I know,
• 13:42
  There's a lot of stuff to talk about and I definitely want to
• 13:45
  make sure I am bring it to the attention and highlighting
• 13:51
  amazing series that maybe a lot of people aren't talking about.
