Standard romantic-drama genre with a large emphasis on confusing emotions. Shame on you Studio Pierrot.Ī below average anime. It wasn’t as bad as for instance Sagrada Reset which I just wanted to stop watching but it was such a disappointment. So overall I’m going to rate Konbini Kareshi at 2,5 stars. Now I got an unbalanced, below average animated romance anime that could have been so much more. I wanted to see several storylines, centered around the convenience store interacting with each other until the pieces of the puzzle felt together. It was everything but the picture that I had in my head when I started it. So as a conclusion, this was not a good anime. So overall KK was just an unbalanced anime where they tried to put way to many things in a small anime. There we get signs that point in the direction of Kaori’s illness early in the anime and it was an element that progressed together with the main story up until the end. That illness should have been the red line across this story. We only get to know that halfway through the anime and after that it isn’t used again until the final episodes. *Another reason why the development felt so slow there was the fact that they didn’t use Mashiki’s illness to the fullest. They should have started that way sooner. Al the development in the Mashiki-Haruki relationship was concentrated in the last 2-3 episodes when the Honda-Mihashi romance was concluded. We were getting plenty of development in that one but our main relationship wasn’t going anywhere. But during three quarters of this anime it felt like the main relationship was the one between Honda and Mihashi. I thought that the relationship between Mashiki and Haruki was the main one. *Because, as I just mentioned, KK couldn’t even balance our 2 main romances right. But overall, if KK would have just left the side characters be simple side characters than maybe it could have balanced the 2 main romances right. Am I glad that they didn’t go through with that. For some that was a good thing like that one damned sibling love episode. So there were several storylines that didn’t even get started. The anime couldn’t even balance 2 romances, let alone 5. If you look at the opening, you see 5 or 6 potential romances. KK felt like Mayoiga all over again: there were way to many characters that they wanted to give meaning and way too many romances to give descent development over the course of 12 episodes. *But what potentially bothered me even more in this anime was the story and how unbalanced it was.
Convenience store boyfriends kokono how to#
I thought that Studio Pierrot, who did quite some big titles, would know how to make descent animation, even for such a middle class, slice-of-life anime. I would date it early 2000’s with that kind of animation. Purely based on the animation I would never guess that this was a 2017 anime. I saw inconsistent character design, truly just derpy faces at times and don’t even get me started on the walking and running animation. It wasn’t even average, it was below average. *Unfortunately KK did more things wrong than it did right. I can’t really explain why but it’s a tune that I really liked. For those of you that watched it: it was the one that was always used in the preview for the next episode. *And my second positive point was one of the OST’s of KK.
That was an element that I didn’t see coming and I wish that this anime would have contained more of those and exploited them more.įor a video review, check out my Youtube channel. So when that plottwist came in episode 10, I was caught totally off guard. The fact that it was quite bland as well only supported that theory that nothing exciting was going to happen anymore. By the time we got to episode 10, it seemed that the stage had been set in this anime. I had to search for details that I liked in this anime because overall it didn’t really please me.īut there was one thing that did came as a pleasant surprise and that was the plottwist in episode 10. *So let’s start with the positive section but unfortunately this will be quite a short one.
