Ishida to Asakura Special

"Ishida, I have a… question.” “Very well, Asakura. I shall answer your question.” "This anime should have ended last... week. How come we're still... here? Will I finally become Natural Perm-sensei of Year 3's BL... class?" “Just give up on that, Asakura. Because there's still something we have to do.” “I… see.”The first work of the creator of the masterpiece Shinobi no Otsutome, is incredible. But the special episode released a week after the original series ended delves far deeper into existentialism and the cruelty of the circle of life than the original post-modern social commentary ever did. It is a beautiful thing to behold. With only two characters present, the titular Ishida and Asakura, Masao (the creator) can deliver a highly complex psycho-analysis of these five-dimensional characters. Ishida's tragic past, coupled with his incredible love and reliance on Asakura, makes for an amazing character, no, PERSON, that transcends the medium and becomes a real, human being. Asakura's denial of Ishida's wish to open a flower shop, that we saw in the earlier episodes, have deeply scarred Ishida and makes him question if Asakura does truly love him. I dare not say more to spoil anything of the beautiful interaction they have. The animation quality, while not of the same standard as the story and characters, is still better than anything we've ever gotten. Easily surpassing Ufotable's and Production I.G.'s best works. It is highly original and combines abstract shapes with realistic proportions, which makes for a highly enjoyable experience and a feast for the eyes. The soundtrack and voice acting is godly, with Rayli's Doki Doki Doku being the best song i've ever heard in two decades. The voice acting for the main characters is incredible, every sentence Asakura or Ishida uttered made me either want to cry or laugh, with the incredible range of emotions in their voices deserving of Nobel peace prices. My personal enjoyment of this episode was through the roof, and I demand that every single person on this planet (and the aliens too) shall watch it. You will be mesmerized, one second crying, another laughing, and another speechless. A true masterpiece deserving of every award on Earth.
