Review of Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride)

The Storyline is pretty similar to other school romance Anime but of course there are some differences. You have the girl that hangs around with “Popular” girls so she isn’t alone. You have the popular boy who doesn’t even need to try. The difference is, it’s not a simpler, I love you, You love Me thing, as there’s problems and difficulties in both the girl and the boy and of course, let’s not forget….Love Triangle, which was the bit I didn’t like. The pace and the way it was told were amazing and well done. I love how it tackled other problems other than the main love interest.

The Animation and Sound was amazing and I loved the Opening song, it was catchy and memorable.

The Characters were the weakest thing of all the Anime. I loved the majority of them, and I loved the main two characters; Kou and Futaba, but some of the Secondary Characters, I just wanted to yell at them, as they were just annoying. The main secondary Character that I didn’t like was Yuuri, she was just in the way all the time, and causes stuff that just shouldn’t have happened, of course by the end, I didn’t mind her, but the majority of the time I didn’t like her.

Overall I really loved this Romance Anime, although certain things really annoyed me. I also hope for a second season, although it’s not the end of the world, if a second season doesn’t come around.
