My Review of Bloom Into You

How did I get into this anime? Not very often will I run into a Shoujo-Ai anime that has good scores and was praised during a time when the anime world was preoccupied by the likes of Bunny Girl Senpai or one of those new shounen series.

Yuu Koito has always had a love for romantic shoujo mangas and love songs. Her hope is to one day feel the same way reading the mangas and hearing those songs when someone confesses their feelings for her. However when a junior high classmate expressed his feelings for her, she didn’t feel it. She ends up leaving this guy hanging for a month before she could give her answer. Now in high school, Yuu wonders what to do about her old friend and if she’ll ever feel that weightless feeling of love.

On her way to join the student council, she comes across a girl turning down a declaration of love. This girl is named Touko Nanami. This second year has had numerous proposals from other students (even girls), but she didn’t feel any kind of spark. Touko ends up helping Yuu with her month-long problem and Yuu finally tells the guy she’s not interested in a relationship. But little does Yuu know that the finicky Touko may have finally found her one true love. But is this a one-sided love, a passing fancy, or full-blown romance?

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Oh, Sentai dubbed this? Funny, I wasn’t expecting this to get a dub. Oh well! So, who did they get, Luci Christian or Monica Rial? Oh awesome-sauce, it’s Luci! I gotta say, I love Luci Christian in this role. Actually, I thought Tia Ballard and the mostly-female cast did a great job. The men roles were…just okay. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

JAPANESE CAST: *Yuu is played by Yuuki Takada (known for Elma on Miss Kobayashi and Lessar on Index III)

*Touko is played by Minako Kotobuki (known for Mugi on K-ON!, Kongou on Railgun, Isabella on Violet Evergarden, and Ricket on Berserk 2016)

ENGLISH CAST: *Yuu is played by Tia Ballard (known for Happy on Fairy Tail, Kagura on Fruits Basket 2019, Yamato on My Love Story, Zero Two on Darling in the FranXX, Megumi on Shiki, and Komari on Little Busters)

*Touko is played by Luci Christian (known for Wrath on FMA, Nagisa on Clannad, Yukari on Azumanga Daioh, Medusa on Soul Eater, Uraraka on My Hero Academia, Nami on One Piece, Huni on Ouran HSHC, and Alois on Black Butler)

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Koyomi is my favorite.

If you don’t know already, blow me.

SHIPPING: Amazing! This is a Shoujo-Ai anime set in a high school that’s coed. But the boys in this series just kinda fade into the background. Like Maki! Doesn’t care about relationships and prefers to watch other romantic couples. We get one episode where he mentions that and then he’s hardly heard from again. And believe it or not, there are other couples and same-sex at that.

One that almost came out of nowhere was Yuu’s teacher Hakozaki having a relationship with another woman.

Well, let’s get down to the meaty ship! By the end of episode 1, it was clear that Touko finally felt something for someone. The only problem is that Yuu was conflicted by these feelings. Yuu hasn’t felt that lightless feeling she feels when she thinks of love in books and songs. But Yuu seems to be the one Touko has relied on for certain things. Not just that, but Yuu is the only one who knows of Touko’s weakness and secret. Throughout the series, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen with Yuu when it comes to every obstacle that she goes through with Touko. Most of the dialogue is within Yuu’s brain and she rarely ever says those things out loud to Touko. She loves Touko, but is conflicted. Touko on the other hand loves Yuu. She wants to advance further in their relationship, but it always seems one-sided on her part. Not only that, but she gets all embarrassed when Yuu does play along in what Touko wants to do.

The big problem is that Touko is fine with where Yuu is at in this relationship. She doesn’t want her to fall in love with her. We’ll jump into that shark pit soon enough.

And now let’s talk about Sayaka! Yes, it’s very obvious from the moment you see her that she has a thing for Touko. And it’s so easy to see her jealousy peaking whenever she speaks about or to Yuu. I was surprised to learn that Sayaka and Touko have only known each other for one year. I would have thought they had more history to them. But as it turns out, Sayaka was in an all-girl’s school prior to entering this high school. Also at that all-girl’s school, she was in a relationship with another girl. But it was called off after the other girl said that this was cute at first, but thinks this kissing girls thing was just a phase.

Now Sayaka never lets out her true feelings about Touko to either her or Yuu. However, Sayaka did make her ex-girlfriend double-take when she ran into the two of them. Sayaka made an implication in gestures that she’s going out with Touko. It’s just that Touko doesn’t know of any of this.

ENDING: The student council wanted to do something special for the cultural festival and decided on reviving performing a play for the school. This was something the student council tried to do 7 years ago and Touko is very gung-ho on doing this. Reason behind this is that her older sister did that 7 years ago…or at least she wanted to.

Touko’s older sister died in a traffic accident, the play was called off, and it was never touched again. And then, things get deeper from here. Touko swore to become her sister as she grew up. Not to mention a layer of guilt that if Touko’s sister didn’t leave that day, she’d still be alive. That’s why she wound up as student council president and beloved by so many. It’s all a façade! And the only one who knows the true Touko is Yuu.

While working on the play, the student council advisor invites a close friend to help. This guy used to be on the student council at the very same school and worked under Touko’s sister. And all of the years of trying to be like her older sister is broken when Touko is told that she’s nothing like her by this guy. So at this point, Touko kind of doesn’t know what to do with herself as this image of her sister she’s set for herself has a hole poked in it. Not only that, but we’re not sure what’s going to happen once the play is over. Does Touko go back to what she once was? Does she keep up this façade? Does she change and make a personality that’s all her own?

Touko is much like the girl she’s playing in the student council production. And Yuu is the only one who knows it. Yuu’s friend Koyomi had a hard time reading Touko and if she’s really as perfect as everyone thinks when writing the script. So Koyomi makes the character have amnesia and must choose between three paths of what life she wants to live. But the ending to the play displeased Koyomi in some way. Yuu ends up changing the ending with Koyomi that has Touko’s character look forward and not back like in those other paths. And this change will also give Yuu some more dialogue between her and Touko on stage. Will we see this play out on the stage for the finale?

Actually…no! We get an outing with Touko and Yuu at the aquarium. It was a pretty calm day for the two girls. There was a moment that felt like Touko was going to change while rehearsing with Yuu. Add to that, there wasn’t like a big monumental “I love you” moment to end the season. It was just…calm.

(But the episode prior, we do get a makeout scene with popcicles)

AH, I don’t want to mention that. Sorry, after a certain hentai, I cringe every time I see any kind of hot makeout scene that involves a frozen treat.

But seriously, is that how it ends? Oh come on, don’t leave me hanging! What about the play? Do we get to see an on-stage performance of a lifetime with Touko and Yuu? What about Sayaka? She never told Touko how she feels? I didn’t get to see her get her heart broken. Does Touko break away from becoming her sister little by little with help from Yuu? Don’t give me that implied shit from them rehearsing lines in the finale. Yeah, all of this means I want more.

This was a very complex relationship we were witnessing, especially when we’re talking about Touko. All she knew up to this point was to act like her deceased sister and follow in her footsteps. But Touko’s sister died before she could experience love so all of this is all Touko when she falls for Yuu. But then you get this self-hatred from Touko where she loves Yuu and doesn’t want her love back because she hates herself so much. Sadly, I can relate to Touko a bit on that matter. It’s kind of hard to accept love from someone when you have self-hatred.

And then you’ve got Yuu who I had no idea how she was going to be throughout the series. I went in thinking she was going to immediately go out with Touko and have this turn into a taboo relationship. Quite the opposite seeing as we see many kinds of relationships in both heterosexual and lesbian. Yuu saw the girl who has a crush on her in a different light than what everybody else sees her. Yuu sees a flawed girl who’s trying way too hard to be something that isn’t truly her. Even though we don’t get a big-bang finale with these two passionately admitting their love for each other, I enjoyed watching these girls. The manga has finished back in 2019 and it does end with a time-skip with some happy outcomes. So that makes me a little happy and hopeful for the future of this series. And in terms of true Shoujo-Ai animes, this is one of the better ones to view. So I would recommend it!

If you would like to watch Bloom Into You, HI-DIVE has the entire series available.

Okay, let’s get to my next Sentai Filmworks anime.

Get ready for bad animation.

Ha! Bring it on. I survived all the Berserk adaptations past 2010, the CG-shit dragon in the Fushigi Yugi OVA, and 4 seasons of Dr. Katz Professional Therapist. And I know for a fact that Ex-Arms isn’t owned by Sentai. So whatever it is, it can’t be that ba…

Ewwww…maybe it’s time I review that Redo of Healer.
