From time to time a music goes by way of my head once I’m watching a present. This time I stored listening to “Peaceable Straightforward Feeling” by The Eagles (written by folkie Jack Tempchin). It isn’t prefer it’s considered one of my favourite songs or something, so I by no means actually give it some thought. However the environment of Kekkon suru tte, Hontou desu ka simply matches completely. It isn’t like anime is often nearly vibes for me. However this present simply has an outstanding environment. It is really easy to like, so stress-free and pure. It is like a woman who is gorgeous with out carrying make-up.
At this level I nearly want the sequence would keep in Aso completely, as a result of every little thing with Takuya’s household utterly clicked. I really like the little particulars, just like the previous farmhouse with no air con, so the one approach to cool Rika down was to blow a fan in her face. And that entire bit about Takuya and his dad carrying her round the home whereas Grandma shouted orders was comedy gold. It is arduous to overstate how actual all this household stuff performs out – a little bit heightened for comedic impact, however primarily natural.
There’s fairly a bit to parse right here. Kouichi being fairly offended about this entire factor is, I would say, utterly justified. It is clearly induced your entire household, however particularly himself, to leap by way of many literal and emotional hoops for no cause in any respect. However there’s additionally the side that, regardless that he’ll by no means speak about it brazenly, it meant loads to him that his tousled son had seemingly reached the next degree in life. From his perspective, I utterly perceive why he would berate Takuya for dwelling half-heartedly, regardless that I utterly perceive that Takuya thinks that is unfair. I additionally cherished that Grandma put their futons in the identical room; she knew completely effectively what she was doing there.
What we see right here is how a change of location can reveal sides of those that they know easy methods to conceal when they’re of their common bubble. When you’re right here, you’ll undoubtedly benefit from the journey otaku in Rika. She is aware of extra about Aso than Takuya, and when the massive sisters (I really feel you, Takuya) counsel he give her a tour earlier than their flight, she insists on the Aso Volcano Museum. It additionally finds her drifting into romantic ideas that she usually suppresses – her daydreaming displays each results. Her obsession with Takuya’s mattress head is humorous but additionally telling.
For Takuya, it returns a bit to his baby self. He has his niece and nephew, however actually he’s the infant of this group and it reveals. He’s additionally from the realm and enjoys enjoying a house recreation with Rika – he is aware of the frogs, the sky and the lay of the land. And when the pair arrive on the museum, he reveals a aspect of himself that Rika hasn’t seen but when a gaggle of rowdy elementary college college students on a faculty journey enter the stage. It is a bit of a generalization, however as is commonly the case, there’s some fact to it: a person who reveals he is good with youngsters is a trusted technique of impressing a possible romantic associate (though that is not Takuya’s case right here). intention).
The ultimate card performed right here is a kind of twists you’d actually fear about in a lesser sequence: the introduction of Umiyama Nao (Fairouz Ai). A triangle, an osananajimi, I can hear your moans from right here. But it surely’s about belief. and belief is earned. Contemplating what it confirmed me in 5 episodes, I belief that Kekkon Suru tte goes to make use of this to take the story in fascinating, non-tropical instructions. A testomony to that is Rika’s response to Nao’s introduction – that of ‘effectively, that’ll train me’ irritated resignation, which rings utterly true. I do not assume this can become a romantic battle anyway – Nao and Takuya haven’t got that type of vibe. However it is going to clearly be a catalyst for each leads to consider what their emotions are for one another.
I might additionally observe how becoming it was to have NASA make a cameo right here, within the type of Enoki Junya doing the voiceover for the “Bochi Komori” fantasy that takes place in Rika’s head. Kekkon Suru tte And Tonikawa clearly have many variations, however additionally they have extra in frequent than simply director Ikehata Hiroshi. He is the proper option to direct right here, let’s put it this fashion – a considerate and charming take a look at younger adults combating relationships and on a regular basis life is way rarer in anime than it must be, and Ikehata clearly has the golden contact with them.
