Ryuukyuu Timeline: Mirai Shoujo to Inishie no Ou

Story - 5/10 With less than a 9 minute run time it seems unfair to criticize this show too much, but even as someone who enjoys watching short-form anime this wasn't particularly appealing. It wasn't a horrible show, but it's not really worth watching either; you'll probably be better off watching something else. This short animation is pretty much just a tourism commercial for the Ryukyu islands and their history (brought to you by Urasoe City, Okinawa), it's not much of an actual story. Characters - 4/10 There isn't much characterization in this short, the characters are very basic. We're introduced to our modern teen girl protagonistwho likes social media and dislikes learning about history, but that's really it. There's also the king of Ryukyu Satto and the tourist Masato, but we don't learn much about them. Art & Animation - 7/10 The visuals are decent, I don't have any complaints here. However, it didn't blow me away or anything; the visuals didn't make up for the lack of story.
