Name: Kyoukai no Kanata Beyond the Boundary Aired: 2013.10.02 2013.12.18 Watched: 2020.08.16 2020.08.22 Origin: Novel Studio: Kyoani Cute girl in glasses and the catch phrase Fuyukai Desu How unpleasant What more do you need? https://www..com/watch?v=t14NQJWyzLk Animation: 8/10 Animation of Kyoukai no Kanata definately felt alive and did not bore the viewer. Definately had some wowfactors here and there but it did not transcend its time and was a decently good animation for its time. However loved the consistency in the artstyle and the quality of the animation was upheld throughout the series. Music: 7/10 The music/OST I have to say was a weaklink for the series. It wasnt memorable or anything with eargasm factor. UNTIL the last episodes of Mirai and Akihito. Kyoani definitely saved their best songs for later. The placement and appropriateness of the OST for the last episodes were a solid 9/10 however rest of the series brings the overall score down to a 7/10. Plot: 8.5/10 For a 12 episode series the plot seemed reasonable. There were many solid ideas that this series could have taken and expanded on however being limited to a 12 episode series I have to say the studio did a good enough job at world building and delivering necessary information to viewers. The main plot penetrating the entire series was explained just enough for viewers to keep up with whats going on but could have done a slightly better job with it since near the end of the series with all the different time period and zones and what not going on with explain as you go type of business I am almost certain that some of the viewers would be completely lost to whats going on. The ending wasnt explained clearly and was put to a One thing that I must mention and heavily compliment is episode 6 Shocking Pink is probably one of the best fillerish episode that I have seen Fillerish because it doesnt have any direct impact on the main plot and its just a side story character building at most. The amount of effort that the studio put into this fillerish episode definitely deserved a standing ovation. A good comparison would be the Chika Dance from Love is War ep3 ending credit song but a whole episode dedicated in to creating that final piece of the dance. Reviewers interpretation of the ending: Character: 9/10 Kyoukai no Kanata has characters with very interesting personalities in a positive way and also memorable. After completing this anime the first female character that comes to my mind when I think about glasses is definitely Mirai Kuriyama. The emphasis on glasses this anime has is beyond the boundary Loved the chemistry between characters such as Hiroomi and Mitsuki and their siscom/tsundere moments the pervert alliance of Hiroomi and Akihito was also a scene that I looked forward to. However the chemistry between Mirai and Akihito was the driving force of this anime and where the whole plot revolves around. Overall very interesting and memorable characters. Personal Enjoyment: 9/10 Took less than a week to finish I know its not impressive to finish a 12 episode series in a span of a week however I am currently VERY busy with IRL stuff while I was watching this and that was as much as I could fit in during my time available. The characters were for sure memorable and charming. Mirais catch phrase Fuyukai Desu certainly was as impactful as Erus Ki ni Narimasu I am curious from Hyouka. There is not much I can write about personal enjoyment since its my own perception of the anime and my own interest I suppose. Overall: 83/100
