I suspected that there is no in between for this show. It’s either
I like it or I don’t. Judging from the synopsis from the preview, there are
higher percentages that I would end up raging about it. However, I told myself
not to jump into conclusion just by those few words of introduction. So far I
ended up liking Sengoku Collection when I first thought that it would be shit.
There’s the chance that this show might end up just like that, isn’t it?

The dorama started right of the bat with Natsumi and Saki
fought while Rin and Yuka tried to reconcile them. These are four good friends
who have been together since their fourth grade. They always wished upon a big
rock at the temple and in attempt to make Natsumi and Saki friends again before
Saki moves to Tokyo, Yuka and Rin gathered them around the big rock where they
fought some more. Accidentally Rin wished that she could fly and apparently
this wish was echoed by her friends. Before they knew it, they were indeed
flying in the sky. It was kinda cool.
At first I thought that this show is just another idol anime
but glad that it wasn’t just that. I like the fact that they put in some dorama
and conflicts in the plot. It gave the show some depth that I found lacking in
other idol anime, and AKB0048 was the latest example of that.
Oh wait, my mistake. This show is put under the slice of life tag >_>
The art and animation are decent with nothing actually
stands out. The character designs could have been more creative. The girls each
have different personality though they are kinda the typical archetype
characters; Natsumi the leader, Saki the logical, Rin the quiet girl and Yuka
the energetic. I personally like Yuka the best simply because of the positive
energy she brings.
Since this show can be considered as an idol anime,
naturally the songs have that idol feel to it. They are pretty good to be
honest. I don’t find them obnoxious at all, like I did with AKB0048 songs. Urgh
*shudders*
I am glad that I gave this show a chance. Turned out I did
like it. I didn’t rage at all. Not even for a moment. It’s quite an
accomplishment I must say.
