This series could have been way better
The idea is strong but not well developed and managed. It’s a huge pity cause the ‘parallel universes’ trope is actually incisive and good for me. The plot is a bit messy and superficial. A lot of things happen so quickly, maybe there is a running competition we don’t know about. No space for deep emotions or any real connection between the viewers and the characters, there is always a new and fast (as well) thing to focus on. And that is ironic if you think that every episode is about fifty-five minutes. The only constant I can think of is the ‘friendship’ theme. The only character who had potential (but wasn’t on screen) is Tess (Ohm’s character): he’s the one who growths during the series (he gets his head together). The main couple feels crazy as well: they just are together, without being together, thinking they should be with other people. It seems a bit stupid; maybe the production team wanted to string the series out. For me, they decided to invest time on the wrong thing (as said above).
On the other hand, the cast is awesome. Aou, Boom, Perth, Nanon, Ohm, Pepper. Do I have to say more? Also, this is my first JimmySea and they were pretty good. Pepper is my solid ground, my man, always the wise character. Perth, great as always. In my opinion this cast is wasted for a plot like the one we have here. Aou and Boom are supposed to be the side couple but there’s no couple, just side. They meet late, we don’t see anything. In addition, it would have been nice to see how things were going in the first universe as well (but this comes from my personal taste).
Music and production are sufficient. Good music, nothing that I’d listed to outside the series but it fits the show, added at the right moments. My favourite song is the opening: I not only like it for the music itself but also for its visual aspect. The general scene’s editing is correct. The fact that every episode is a colour is pleasant and fits the story.
I’m not going to rewatch or recommend this series. It is sufficient but not completely worth the time for me. I watched it because I was searching for all the AouBoom series but this is not even that. I won’t say that I’m mad but it’s a huge pity. I’m sorry.
Fun fact. I decided to watch this show this year but it was aired in 2022 (as you may know). Back then I saw the trailer, so this time I skipped it. I was startled to see Ohm and Nanon, because I had absolutely forgot about their appearance here. Completely. I cried on the first episode. I kinda miss them…
