 Much as I write up a ton of anime, there are some people out there who are far more eloquent than me.
One of my favourite shows this past year has been Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (episodes 1-2 reviewed here, reviews of episodes 3-6 coming soon), so it was good to see fellow anime blogger Jeff Lawson feature the show in his top 10 of the year, mainly on the back of just how lovable female lead Rika is:
Akiba Rika, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I know you’re dying, but that just makes me want to protect and care for you. I know you’re a tsundere, but I dig tsunderes. I know you’re selfish, but I realize that’s just how you show affection. I know you’re pragmatic, but deep down, you’re clearly a romantic. Underneath your tough outer shell, hardened by situation and circumstance, may lie the “real” Akiba Rika, but I love you just as much for the Akiba Rika you show the world as I do for the Akiba Rika you keep to yourself. You’re an incredible person from head to toe.
I couldn't agree more, and if you haven't seen any of HanTsuki yet, do me a favour and go check it out. It's definitely one of the most emotionally moving shows of the year.
