Tourbillonnant entre passĂ© et prĂ©sent, nous dĂ©couvrons KĂŽ et Futaba qui Ă©taient amoureux lâun de lâautre au collĂšge mais qui nâont jamais pu se lâavouer, Ă cause du dĂ©part prĂ©maturĂ© de KĂŽ. En se retrouvant au lycĂ©e, beaucoup de chose ont changĂ© sauf une chose KĂŽ retourne toujours autant le cerveau de Futaba. Ă cĂŽtĂ© de ça, on voit que le rĂŽle que Futaba joue au lycĂ©e est bien diffĂ©rent de la jeune fille quâelle Ă©tait au collĂšge, adoptant une allure de jeune fille masculine, pas trĂšs raffinĂ©e, qui mange pour quatre, tout ça pour faire fuir les garçons, mais cette attitude nâattire que de fausse amitiĂ© qui ne la connaissent pas vraiment. Soufflant le chaud et le froid, on dĂ©couvre en KĂŽ un personnage unique, un genre de mauvais garçon qui a un cĆur en or. Ce petit contraste a le mĂ©rite de faire battre mon petit cĆur dâartichaut, dâautant plus quand ses attentions ne sont tournĂ©s que vers Futaba, la protĂ©geant, la couvant, lâaimant dâun sentiment pure. Futaba, quant Ă elle, se met Ă vouloir reprendre en main sa vie les retrouvailles avec KĂŽ ont le mĂ©rite de lui rappeler son passĂ© oĂč elle a connu la solitude, ce qui fait quâelle arrive maintenant Ă sâĂ©lever contre ses bourreaux pour dĂ©fendre la jeune fille en elle qui se fait harceler. Et cela mĂȘme si les bourreaux sont ses soit-disant amies. Mais vaut mieux des fois ĂȘtre seul que mal accompagnĂ© ! Futaba dĂ©cide enfin de changer, de reprendre pleinement sa vie en main et pour ça, elle sâengage sur un nouveau terrain celui des dĂ©lĂ©guĂ©s. Maintenant en premiĂšre, elle nâa plus aucun lien avec les amis toxiques quâelle a eu et est prĂȘte Ă dĂ©couvrir de nouvelles personnes et Ă tisser de nouveaux liens, notamment avec KĂŽ. Celui-ci est ici plutĂŽt doux, avouant une part de lui, de son passĂ©, ses remords et ses regrets. MĂȘme si cela reste encore assez vague et flou, on se doute rapidement quâil a Ă©normĂ©ment souffert et Futaba sera probablement pour lui une nouvelle promesse au bonheur. La relation entre Futaba et KĂŽ devient toujours plus intense, tout en gardant un certain doute sur leur vĂ©ritable sentiment Ă©prouvĂ© lâun Ă lâautre. Ressentant ces Ă©motions l'un pour l'autre, Futaba ne parviendra pas Ă assumer son amour pour KĂŽ, mĂȘme Ă elle-mĂȘme. Ă cĂŽtĂ© de ça, une petite bande dâamis se crĂ©e avec KĂŽ, Futaba, Yuri, Moana et Kominato. Ce qui annonce plusieurs aventures ! Entre le passĂ© et le prĂ©sent, le personnage de KĂŽ aura bien changĂ© et Futaba devra ainsi apprendre Ă connaĂźtre le nouveau KĂŽ, tout en gardant Ă lâesprit son ancien caractĂšre. MalgrĂ© une certaine volontĂ© de changement, on rĂ©alise bien vite que le bon fond de KĂŽ, son grand cĆur et sa douceur nâont jamais disparu, malgrĂ© sa nouvelle allure brute et dure. En dĂ©pit des mĂ©saventures et des petites tracas, le duo se rapproche Ă©normĂ©ment, sans compter lâintervention dâun nouveau personnage et dâun nouvel amour qui saura bouleverser notre histoire. Les triangles amoureux sont courants dans les shojos, mais ici il est question dâun amour avec deux copines dans le lot, ce qui ajoute une touche dâimportance et de force Ă lâhistoire. De plus, ça permet aux personnages de se positionner, de revoir leur valeur et leur personnalitĂ©, quant Ă leur loyautĂ©. Lâamour est un sentiment bien particulier, aussi bien en amour qu'en amitiĂ©. Les deux facettes ont leur force, leur fragilitĂ©. Mais quand les deux se mĂȘlent, quelque chose se passe et celĂ peut ĂȘtre aussi terrible qu'incroyable. Lorsque Futaba assume enfin ses sentiments pour KĂŽ, tout ne se passe pas comme prĂ©vu. Pour autant, prenant courage et force, elle dĂ©cide dâĂȘtre honnĂȘte avec son amie et partager avec elle cette grande nouvelle, bien que cette rĂ©vĂ©lation risque de se montrer pĂ©rilleuse. On en apprend toujours davantage sur les personnages, notamment celui de KĂŽ. Entre une volontĂ© de sâeffacer, de ne pas se lier dâamitiĂ© avec les autres⊠Et une volontĂ© de protĂ©ger les personnes quâil aime, on y dĂ©couvre une force et un courage incroyable. Lâamour est un sentiment Ă©phĂ©mĂšre, surtout avec la vie, parce que la mort, la souffrance, la perte, la douleur sont omniprĂ©sents dans la vie de tous les jours. Le bonheur est un terme dont tout le monde connaĂźt la dĂ©finition. Pourtant, peu de monde peut dire quâil sait ce que câest exactement. KĂŽ est ici en quĂȘte de ce sentiment, en quĂȘte de cette Ă©motion qui semble lui manquer. Afin de combler un trou bĂ©ant. Ayant lu le manga il y a quelques mois, j'ai eu la chance d'avoir le comparatif entre l'un et l'autre, mais ai Ă©tĂ© assez Ă©tonnĂ©e en dĂ©couvrant que l'anime ne traite pas l'intĂ©gralitĂ© du manga. Pour ça, il va sĂ»rement falloir que je visionne les films qui suivent la sĂ©rie, afin de retrouver l'intĂ©gralitĂ© de l'histoire qui m'a tant bouleversĂ©e Ă l'Ă©crit. Pour ceux et celles qui cherchent un anime mignon, tendre, renversant, je vous invite trĂšs fortement Ă plonger dans l'univers de KĂŽ et Futaba, aux cĂŽtĂ©s de leurs amis et leurs histoires. L'adolescence est un Ăąge difficile, pourtant, avec eux, tout semble plus doux.

Blue Spring Ride / Ao Haru Ride live action vostfr. Hello ! Aujourdâhui on vous sort un nouveau film japonais quâon attendait avec impatience ! Il sâagit de Blue Spring Ride, appelĂ© encore « Ao Haru Ride », et tirĂ© du manga du mĂȘme nom de la mangaka Io Sakisaka ! This was originally a recap on the finalewith spoilers and final impressions posted on my old anime blog. The screenshots were lost somewhere in transition. Ao Haru Ride. Hello and welcome to my Ao Haru Ride review. There wonât be any spoilers contained herein, which doesnât really matter anyway, considering that this is easily the most predictable series Iâve seen this year. Itâs especially predictable if youâve seen a few romantic-type comedies based in the shoujo genre. Donât mistake predictable for bad, mind you. Itâs just as the series meanders along, it never really surprised me, delivered anything unexpected or made me think or feel anything new. But I enjoyed it. So, what did Ao Haru Ride deliver and what did the cast of characters make me feel? Some of that, but first a very brief synopsis and some production notes. Ao Haru Ride, literally Blue Spring Ride, was billed as a shoujo romantic comedy, but itâs a pretty basic light coming-of-age in high school tale. The series begins with us following high school student Yoshioka Futaba as she makes her way through her first year in high school. We immediately get some insight into the main character, her past and various motivations. Futaba fulfills awkward main character role well. It doesnât take long for Futabaâs world to be shaken, when sheâs reunited with a boy from her past. This lighter version of a long lost love is the catalyst for Futaba â and through her, the story â to progress over course the series. She contends with her feelings for the dreamy Kou, while dealing with real friendship for the first time, and generally being a high school girl. Itâs all pretty basic, and generally hinges on how much you like the characters and the writing. Thankfully, the characters and writing arenât terrible. The show looked and sounded just fine. When researching the show before the season started, I did look over the manga and its website. The character designs in the anime are toned down versions of the slightly exaggerated shoujo-style ones in the manga, but are fairly faithful for the most part. Especially faithful in regards to the males, who are rendered stunningly attractive. Kou and Bro are blessed genetically. Characters designs, as well as all the backgrounds, various locales, and the animation itself are pretty, but fairly mediocre. The series â animated by Production â doesnât look bad, just not very memorable. It suffices however, and luckily for Ride, it doesnât need to look stunning although Kou is pretty stunning to tell its story. I would say the same for the audio contained in the series. The opening is lively and colorful, but I usually skip it, as I do all opening and endings. I feel that OPs and EDs are pointless for the most part, unless it comes to spoiling events that havenât happened. Theyâre really good at spoiling shit â and selling merchandise. Regardless, I canât give an honest opinion about those. The score and background music were pretty good however. The shot that made my female readership climb. The voice acting is fine, and for the most part slightly above average. Uchidas Maaya does Futabaâs voice and with her being the main character, gets plenty of opportunities to show a wide range of emotion, and show it well in my opinion. Anything less, and it could have been difficult actually caring what happens her as much as I did. So, why did I care about Futaba and through her, Kou and the rest of her friends? Well, the reason I enjoyed the series overall, is the same reason I enjoy the shoujo genre of fiction â sometimes. To me, shoujo doesnât necessarily mean âgirlyâ stories, but more âstories with feelings.â Because god fucking forbid, you put some actual feelings into a show like Akame ga Kill! Feelings in shounen-like series tend to be a set of grunts, determined looks, fist pumps and super exaggerated expressions. I like Akame ga Kill!, but as a mature adult, I need feelings sometimes. Itâs not that I donât have any feelings myself and want to see them up close or anything, I just â nevermind. Swoon. So, if you get my drift, Ao Haru Ride is a fine example of what I enjoy about the shoujo genre. Itâs a simple story, and one with an affable main character to root for. I wonât get into too many specifics, as it wouldnât be needed. If youâve seen coming of age high school shows before, youâre already in Rides personal space and will feel completely comfortable watching this. Instead, here are a few things I liked and a few I didnât like. As I already said, I enjoyed Futaba quite a bit. Sheâs the âevery manâ character done very well, and honestly, she could have easily been a male character. The group that does come together fairly early in the series has a nice chemistry, and there are a few small and reoccurring gags that help with the lighter sides of things. Hand warmer to face, my favorite screenshot of the Summer. I did not like high school in real life and I donât like watching characters in high school in anime. If an anime doesnât take place in high school, itâs immediately better in my book. Every New Yearâs my resolution is to stop watching anime that takes place in high school, but I always break it. I have a reoccurring gag myself with a friend. When one of us tries to describe an anime weâve just watched, the other says, âyou just described 90% of all anime,â regardless of what they described. You can use that if you wish, itâs fun. So, because itâs in high school, I found it difficult, but not impossibru lol to connect to the teenage feels. My only main gripe with the series, as I mentioned in the opening paragraph, is Rideâs predictability issues. Kou, the returning figure in Futabaâs life, is one of the most obvious characters Iâve ever seen. And the best looking. âItâs so tough being as good looking as I am.â Seriously, isnât he dreamy? Not just physically mind you. Heâs distant, but reachable by way of some treacherous waters, heâs cruel at times, but just challenging enough to make teenage girls wonder why heâs so cruel. Surely, Futaba can tame the distant-staring eyes and murky-watered heart residing just inside those firm teenage pectoral muscles? You get what Iâm saying right? Kou is perfection, which I found stupid. Even when heâs an asshole and distant, heâs perfect. Girls, lol. In addition to Kou, all the characters act and do things youâd expect, with very few exceptions. Hmm⊠Iâm going to stop right there and finish this. I apologize for all the nonsense, which Iâve just re-read, but will not edit out. Ok, with its enjoyable, familiar main character â who I really did enjoy â and for the general enjoyment I took from the series, Iâll give Ao Haru Ride a very solid 3 out of 5 on my Kitsune Scaleâą If you havenât read my finales before, a three is a very good score. A four is slotted for great shows, with five for the rare series that I think is outstanding. All my opinions of course. On my, âwould I recommend this series,â scale, I would say, yes. Thatâs if youâve read this review and it sounds good, then watch it. On my, âdid I ever think about dropping this scale,â the answer is, no. This was really easy to watch. Well, I wanted a well-rounded Summer 2014 season and knew I wanted a shoujo anime to recap and review. Thankfully this coincided with the release of Ride. Although my second choice was Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun which people seem to like, and its been on my want to watch list. Anyway, thanks all, and if you have any comments or shoujo series to recommend, please let me know! Thanks all and take care. qR5M.
