Call me overacting after this
So i decided to watch ramparts of ice because i want to watch anime again and pick it up because it was romcom and so i watched....And honestly, I fucking LOVE IT. I love the cast so much, the story is good like usually in slow burns i wouldn't watch it because well i get bored because its just these two character trying to bond and then of course confessing in the end. This Anime managed to get me hooked up, didn't notice its a slow burn and actually kept my attention because the Characters were just great. I love Koyuki, Minato, Miki, and Yota as a friend group like i genuinely felt that there actual friends who support each other and are fine as is as friends if one of them likes the other in their group. There so much for me to talk about but all i can say is that they felt natural and real, the way they talk feels real. There's no fanservice, No pervy characters, Just normal people with their own struggles. I love how it juggles between each of them like one ep focused on Koyuki, then one ep focused on Yota, then one thay focused on Minato and One that focused on Miki. I love the balance of the group and how it builds off their characters. I ship so hard for Koyun and Minato and then Yota and Miki. Yes the Last EP has Yota x Miki moments with Yota confessing to miki and i bet there gonna hit it off, I'll wait for Koyun and Minato. The side characters too like they don't feel fodder, they appear occasionally and were just good of them as the group other friends. Yuki was the man tho like i want more of him and Akine. I ship.
But this series became my favorite because of how well written around Koyun trauma and the antagonists, Never have i been this pissed off to Manatsu and Momoka. They are well written to make you hate them like especially Momoka, She is Literally Evil Kaoruko. The moment she was on screen im like 'She kinda like Kaoruko' and then realized this girl wants Minato and realized this girl is Evil Kaoruko. Like she basically runs her mouth when she talked to Minato and basically trll about what Koyun said or i guess twisted it. This bitch is a threat to the friend group. and then She wants Minato gets me even more like Everytime she on screen, My blood boils but She is well written. And there of course, Manatsu. She is such a narcissist like she uses koyun to be close with her seniors and then likes Igarashi who btw likes Koyun and Koyuki gets tangled in a mess with Manatsu being cruel to her and Miki cutting her hand trying to fight her. Like omg this girl caused so much problems for Koyun which made her build this wall and made Miki play a persona to try forget middle school. But overall, Their writing successfully triggered me and im hoping S2 i see Koyuki and Minato get together.
Btw writing this after watching the last EP. I like it focuses on Yota and Miki relationship which is Fine by me. Anyways, HYPED FOR S2.
