Spoilers ahead
First of all I apologize about misunderstandings I may have made. This is my first review.
Summary of what I barely understood
So AURA: Maryuuinkouga Saigo no Tatakai is an anime about Ichirou Satou and Ryouko Satou. Ichirou is an old fighter who has decided to let his past behind him and live a normal life but he met Ryouko who is performing her mission.
Ichirou wants to help her and after convincing her she accepts his help. However he doesnt really believe the story of Ryouko. He thinks its all fake and shes just trying to get attention. He continues to help her though but at some point she became victim of bullying due to her abnormality. Since their teacher told him to be friend with her or he would leak some information about his past which would ruin him he defended her against her bullies. However one of the old friends of Ichirou decided to share something about him to one of her bullies of Ryouko. She used that against Ichirou. Indeed she would leak that and ruin him if he continues defending her so he stopped that and also stopped going around with her.
At some point Ryouko was ready to achieve her mission but it was actually jumping of and returning to her world. From what I think its suicide. Hopefully Ichirou came to save her while explaining that this world isnt that bad. He showed her that there are some things to enjoy which make her change her mind and they finally got together.
My thoughts
I think this anime shows that everybody has differences but its not a reason to give up. As Ichirou showed it theres always some interesting and enjoyable things to do. Indeed both of them are not really normal but they didnt give up.
In Ichirous case he got bullied several years before and was clearly acting and showing that hes not like others. Even though he decided to stop and become normal he still has his abnormal side of him. After all he still seems to have the will to live his life.
In Ryoukos case she was still acting abnormally. Shes was wearing unusual clothes and accessories and was constantly using special terms to talk about what shes doing in this world. However at the end we can see her coming to class with her uniform even though she was talking the same way to Ichirou.
Theyll still have this abnormal side of them but they probably wont show it anymore so they can be normal and live their life normally.
I really liked the relationship between them. It was unpredictable. Indeed at some point they were not close and Ichirou even hated her but they end up together as said previously. It shows a strong love between them and its a good thing to me.
Globally due to the complexity and doubt about my understanding of this anime I cant say that I love it but it was very good and I recommend it.
To finish with on the artistic and structural side it was nice. the animation was good and the osts and ending song spiced up my experience watching it. The story was not rushy at all and well done.
Thanks for reading
