Liz to Aoi Tori
Students and best friends Mizore Yoroizuka and Nozomi Kasaki prepare to play a complex musical duet, Liz and the Blue Bird, for oboe and flute. Though they play beautifully together and have been friends since childhood, Mizore and Nozomi find that with graduation looming and the duet proving difficult, their friendship begins to buckle under the pressure. Interspersed with their story is the fantasy tale of Liz, drawn like a storybook, contrasting with the crisp realism of the school. (Source: Shout! Factory)

Read full review on AniList →There’s something to be said for judging a story by its spinoffs. True, a good story is good no matter the quality of its ancillary material; movies like Psycho-Pass and Robocop aren’t made any less fantastic by their awful sequels, and shows like A Place Further Than the Universe weave such a compl…

Friendship: I strongly relate…

Read full review on AniList →This is a masterpiece in every meaning possible. Nozomi and Yoroizuka have such a relatable relationship which I think is very common for many different people.

Read full review on AniList →Before we begin, this movie looks nice. I like nice looking things, so it raises the score. *sigh* (spoilers ahead) Kyoani's critically acclaimed Liz and the Blue Bird is a movie that is irreparably tied to another one of their anime "Hibike! Euphonium" so it will inevitably draw comparison. The g…
