“Kyoukai No Kanata” or “Beyond The Boundary” is the successor of haruhi Suzumiya the huge hit that kyoto animation brought to the anime industry, though it never lived to that example as kyoani has less experience when dealing with supernatural anime. Typically, they tend to make Moe slice of life but they adapted a supernatural light novel. the anime is based on the novel by the same name written by Torii nagomu and illustrated by Kamoi Tomoyo.
Youmu are spirits that roam the city, They are the manifestation of human negative emotions as stated in the synopsis though we never get to see them through the whole series it never feels that Hunting Down those creatures is the main highlight of the show. Walking through the first episode we meet Akihito Kanbara our main protagonist who stumble upon a girl who is about to throw herself from the school rooftop, Never to realise that this character will change his life .
The settings is our modern world as our main character Mirai struggles with her dark past, blaming herself for the death of her childhood friend, uses the power to manipulate her blood at will. I found this character so bland and basic,you got your typical highschool girl with uninteresting yet childish personality, she has the ultimate rival sakura yui’s sister who swore vengeance for her long lost sister, Then we have akahito the half-human half-youmu who has a fetish for beautiful girls with glasses (That level of creativity though). because that’s the only thing that stands out from his personality, and we have our supporting cast. Hiromi who has imouto syndrome, and his sister the one with strong personality. They together join the literature club (yeah they had to join a club). to complete your typical school anime That Destroyed the Interesting premise and replaced it with a school anime with perverts, cliches, uninteresting characters and a comedy that in most cases seems misplaced and simply out of place. Not to mention that Filler episode with the dance ughhhh…
Animation and art wise the show is masterfully animated with a lot of sakuga moments, This was the turning point for me it was so pleasant to watch such animation. I am a big fan of kyoani and their moelike character designs so that’s another thing i enjoyed. Overall the show was aesthetics over substance. It was filled with boring moments uninteresting dialogue and catchphrases that kept me Waiting for that character to disappear. Also the sound was great, awesome OST with great emotional value. Never skipped the opening and ending credits they were so good.
Overall i feel this anime is just a show about cool animation and aesthetics i never cared about the characters or the plot it’s just Sakuga the anime. So yeah the score is just for the animation and sound and My devotion to Kyoani.
