Carole & Tuesday

How wonderful it is, I cried at every song!

I reviewed it and damn and Watanabe is a genius It's so quivering, sincere, I feel it with my whole body.

Amazing characters, their development and songs that will sink into your soul.

I've watched almost every good movie and series out there, Anime or otherwise. But I have never before been compelled to write an review here on imdb like I have after I watched Carole and Tuesday today. To be honest I couldn't stop watching this because it was so good and when I say good is the emotions in the voice actors and in the people that have worked with this show, you can really feel it, it's not about the story or the animation. Its about something else, Its about a spark that just really shows how much effort and joy they have put into making this anime. To be honest it made me feel good! It had energy! I really enjoyed this more than I have enjoyed any other series for a very long time. I laughed and I cried while watching these episodes which is not something I have done in a long time. You should watch this if you haven't already I would recommend it to anyone. I'm not promising a revolutionary masterpiece, only that it's entertaining and will make you fell good and to be honest, isn't that what it's all about?

Yes you can pan it off as simple and boring, but characters are endearing, the music is soulful and in true Watanabe style, everything is not as is it seems. Btw this whole show takes place in the future on Mars and gingerly incorporates that into the backdrop of the story, never shoving it in your face but allowing you to admire it from a far. Overall, this is a soulful, funny and endearing show that always catches you off guard in true Watanabe style!

If you love Violet Evergarden you will love this one.

There are some truly touching songs on the Carole and Tuesday soundtracks - I love Loneliest Girl and Lay It All On Me. However, despite the truly stellar soundtrack, I found the story fell a bit short of a home run. Each episode in the first season seemed like it was trying to do a stand alone episode which led to a disjointed middle. The second season started to have a more overarching story but it still felt a little like a show that didn't know what exactly it wanted to be. Themes and characters where introduced never to be heard from again or just popping in again once or twice for a performance or two. It was hard to feel the emotional resonance of these brief appearances even though I knew what I was supposed to be feeling. The soundtrack patched many of the plot holes - providing the emotional oomph that was lacking. Many character relationships were left unresolved completely. It's worth a watch for the soundtrack and the heartwarming message but its not perfect.
