Peach girl anime review
Tumblr media
Spoilers for peach girl and tw for bullying, a mention of colourism, and blackmail
Genre: Romance, drama, slice of life, high school
Where I watched it: Funimation
Characterisation: 9/10 (Peach girl has a relatively small cast, but all the characters play an important role and are well developed in both personality and backstory. There’s a wide variety of personalities, and all of these add something important to the plot. Characters are designed to be deep and complex, and this keeps the story gripping as you’re always discovering new things about them, or watching them grow. As a character, I particularly liked Momo- she’s very kind and generous, always helping others and giving people the benefit of the doubt, and doesn’t give up easily- it’s clear that she’s strong, but she’s also portrayed as vulnerable and confused as she tries to navigate her complex emotions and figure out her life. Some of her struggles when it comes to love are ones quite a few viewers will understand, and that, along with Momo’s simple wish of wanting to be happy and truly cherished by someone, make her relatable as well as likeable. Two other characters I really liked the development of were Kairi and Sae. Kairi was initially presented as the archetypal carefree player at the beginning, flirting with all the girls and having little to no personality apart from that. However, it soon becomes clear that he’s more than that- he’s a loyal friend to Momo, staying by her side when everyone else, including her own boyfriend, have seemingly stabbed her in the back. It soon becomes clear that underneath this facade, he’s a selfless and caring person who will do anything to help those he loves. His backstory adds an unexpected layer of depth to his character- despite seeming so happy, he still feels certain events in his past deeply. On the other hand, Sae is portrayed as pure evil for most of the series- she bullies Momo mercilessly, spreading lies about her, turning all her friends against her, and even going as far as blackmailing her first boyfriend, Toji,  into breaking up with her. However, at the end of the series, after experiencing love and heartbreak herself in a string of deeply distressing events, Sae opens up and starts to value Momo and those who have been nice to her, even helping them through their troubles, which would have been unthinkable at the beginning of the series. I love a redemption arc, and I’m all for people growing and changing for the better, which is why it was so great (and unexpected) to see Sae drop her old ways and become a good person.)
Setting: 8/10 (The settings are pretty typical of a high school, slice of life anime, with the school being a big one, the places where the students work in the summer, and all the hang out spots they visit in their spare time, like amusement parks. They are used effectively nonetheless, with certain places becoming meaningful in the story and mirroring past events, like the beach where Momo and Kairi first met.)
Art style: 7.5/10 (the art style is nothing out of the ordinary- it’s pretty standard for older anime, but the drawings are still pretty. Characters are well drawn and their appearances also change slightly throughout the anime, which adds a nice touch. I particularly like the way the settings are drawn - there are some beautiful sceneries. Colour pallets also generally hit the nail on the head, particularly when used in Momo’s incredible outfits.)
Plot: 8/10 (The plot is engaging and full of twists- it’s not always predictable, and you soon become invested in the emotional roller coaster, particularly when things take an unexpected turn. Tension is also used well in some episodes where big decisions have to be made. Despite some aspects of the plot being predictable, they still work very well and don’t take away from how enjoyable the anime is to watch. However, some events are dragged on for a bit, particularly towards the end.)
Comfort: 9.5/10 (This show was such a great one to kick back and relax to, especially after a long or trying day. The main reason for this is Momo as a character - most things about her, from her desire to be cherished and determined attitude, to her mistakes and the difficult patches, she made me feel somewhat seen. As well as that, her positivity and kindness really are contagious to the viewer, as well as her fighting spirit. On top of that, there are several wholesome scenes when the romance is going well, or heart warming displays of dedication when things are rough, which never failed to make me smile.)
Originality: 6.5/10 (Despite being almost flawlessly executed and combining a wealth of different occurrences so well, I don’t think Peach girl is anything too new (it might have been at the time, but definitely not now). It’s a pretty standard romantic drama, and, even though there are a few plot twists and ideas here and there which are creative or innovative, the main idea of having two guys falling in love with the same girl and a whole bunch of drama surrounding this definitely not.)
Addictiveness: 8.5/10 (This show is pretty addictive, because the characters are so well developed and the plot is dynamic and full of twists. Each episode also ends on a cliffhanger, so it’s easy to get hooked, as the engaging plot leaves you needing to know what will happen next.)
Philosophy: 7.5/10 (Despite generally being quite a light watch with few ideas that need unpicking, there are some interesting things said about love which I think are worth dedicating a few lines to. The first one is the idea that sometimes, we don’t realise how precious someone is to us until we almost lose them, which I think applies to daily life as well as the more tragic context of the anime. The second is that it’s easy to fall in love with the idea of a person you’ve created instead of actually loving them, or think you’ve fallen in love simply because you love the idea of having someone instead of the actual person, and the third is that love can often be confusing, unpredictable and uncontrollable- it’s rarely straightforward, and things often take time and pain to work out for the best. Through nuances like this, the series does a great job of capturing the complexity and essence of falling in love.)
Consistency: 8.5/10 (The quality of the episodes stayed high throughout the show, with little to no filler content. The ending dragged a little bit, but it was also full of suspense and uncertainty.)
The plot
Momo is an average high school girl - she likes shopping, swimming, and has had a crush on her childhood friend, Toji, for years. However, due to having heard from a jealous “friend” that he doesn’t like tanned girls, she thinks that he won’t reciprocate her feelings and is reluctant to ask him out at first. When she eventually does, he says yes and dismisses the rumor as a lie. It’s also discovered that Kairi, the school playboy, has taken a liking to Momo, who dismisses him at first, finding him annoying.  Meanwhile, Sae, a classmate of Momo’s, grows jealous of her popularity and charm, as well as her relationship with the two boys, and goes from being catty to her to doing whatever she can to sabotage her, spreading rumors and deliberately making Momo look bad in front of Toji before and after they start dating in the hopes of putting him off of her and having a chance with him. Toji is unsuspecting due to Sae’s very manipulative and scheming personality, so he believes what Sae says, as do all of Momo’s other classmates, which causes her to become an outcast and puts a strain on her relationship with Toji. While she goes through all this, Kairi stays firmly by her side, knowing the kind of person she really is and trying to help Momo disprove the rumors Sae spreads. Through all the drama, Momo realizes she might also have feelings for Kairi, but, at the end of a long emotional roller coaster, and after much heartache, she has to make a final decision and realise who she truly loves.

Los FANDOMS que yo controlo
Bueno,bueno. Hola chicas y chicos, chicos y chicas.
He aquí (después de mucho tiempo y de que casi se acabe el verano) la lista de todos los FANDOMS de los que yo ( @anamor00 ) voy a publicar cositas.
A cualquiera que quiera participar también, puede publicar de cualquier FANDOM que le guste.No importa demasiado si esta repetido o no, aquí lo que se trata es de nutrir los FANDOMS que nos gustan y shipear a las parejas que tanto amamos.
Es posible que una mayoría de dichas parejas sean gays, pero esto no quita que puedas shipear a dos chicas o una pareja heterosexual. Yo amo a todos mis chiquinines. Por ejemplo en FRUITS BASKET, no junto ni por asomo a Yuki y Ryo, hay gente que si; yop no. Est no quita que no podáis animaros a colaborar y publicar una imagen de la pareja.
Lo que si voy a pedir y creo que ya comente en la primera publicación es que se le falte el respeto a ninguna pareja ni a ninguna persona. Las opiniones se dan amablemente no luchando entre nosotros como cabritas. Oh, y nada de fanarts super pornosos. A todos nos gustan, pero este no es el lugar para dejar suelto vuestra alma calenturienta.
Después de toda esta chachara voy ha dejaros al fin los FANDOMS que amo tanto y los ships de cada uno de ellos (si hay muchoooos voy a indicar que cualquier otra combinación de los personajes también me gusta)

speaking of the translation decisions in tokyopop peach girl are sooook odd to me. like sometimes they embellish to add a little humor but make the sentiment clearer to the audience BUT sometimes they add shit for NO REASON? and then i think there's a fundamental misunderstanding of toji's name. also removing honorifics and insisting on having everyone call him "kiley" (🤮🤮🤮) instead of okayasu really fucks up a lot about ryo's introduction. ALSO it removes the quirks everyone has when they address each other like momo usually uses a first name NEVER uses honorifics except for misao. sae and kairi call everyone -chan and -kun and ALWAYS call everyone by their first names (except toji). toji NEVER calls ANYONE by their first name EVER. and kairi makes fun of him for it towards the end of the first arc. not to MENTION that sae literally calls ryo "ryo-sama" but no one wants to talk about that -_- also the crazy shit with jigoro's name like no one is capable of understanding that shit for some reason. they literally keep calling him a jigolo and then have him say at one point "im not a jigolo" like come the fuck on
