Insomniacs After School is much, much better than the likes of Your Lie in Apil. If you’re tired of watching the same old high school stories and want something different, this is the one. It’s a delicate time where we think we should have everything figured out, but we just don’t. We’ve all been teenagers once and can relate to the pressures it brings. I liked the art direction for all the big emotional scenes and the OST was solid throughout as well. It’s not the best in the world, but LIDENFILMS did a good job of bringing the story to life. The two leads find solace and serenity in one another and really feel like two halves of the same coin. It feels like a believable natural progression. Starting as club mates, then friends and so on. The romance may be a slow burn in this, but it’s a very rewarding one. I particularly loved the astronomy club senpai who acts as a mentor to the two leads. The side characters are also very enjoyable and added some depth to the story. I really appreciated seeing the small details that make the characters who they are. Whether it’s singing on a beach, simple nighttime walks or the type of banter between the two leads, it just has a degree of genuineness to it that’s hard to come by in anime. There’s so many small intimate moments that just blew me away in this show. The interactions are simple yet poignant. They behave as actual teenagers who are stressed would. The characters in this show reflect that. While many teens don’t go through insomnia, most do have things they’ve repressed and bottled up which can lead to anxiety, depression other mental conditions. Both of their conditions stem from trauma that they’ve been holding in for years. insomnia as a shared bonding experience for the two main leads. This anime handles that stage of life with such realism and authenticity that it blew my mind. It’s such a challenging and sensitive time. There’s the stress that society and your parents put on you and the desire to fit in and find who you really are.
The reality is that being a teenager sucks. It’s a a beautifully rendered and tender story of growth and self-acceptance.Īnime often tends to exaggerate adolescence, romanticising it and making it out to be this adventure that’s constantly exciting.
