Some of you guys might be thinking: ‘”Big Sister” Rii is doing Amagi Brilliant Park again?’ Yep I’m doing it again, this one last review of it. If any of you have seen my previous articles where I talk about Amagi Brilliant Park, there’s no real need to dive into reasons why I watched it anymore. If you’re wondering my thoughts on it up until this point, you can look at my previous thoughts on it here (First Impressions), and here (Fall 2014 Impressions).


Story and Characters:

First things first: Yes, the main characters names do sound familiar. Kanie, Sento, and Latifa are their names. Yes, they are a reference to Kanye West, 50 Cent, and Queen Latifah. Go figure. Seiya Kanie is an ace student, excelling at everything he does. He knows how perfect he is and flaunts it. This catches the attention of Isuzu Sento and she asks him, at gunpoint, to go out on a date with her to Amagi Brillaint Park. Amagi Brilliant Park is a run-down amusement park that is struggling to stay afloat. Its rides are breaking down, part of the staff are not even at their stations, and the cast members are in disarray, giving poor performances. After having a miserable time at the park, Sento brings Kanie with her to meet the park’s manager, a young girl named Latifa Fleuranza. Upon meeting with him, Latifa tells Kanie that Amagi Brilliant Park is actually run by residents of a magical realm called Maple Land. She asks that he run Amagi Brilliant Park, as it is on the verge of shutting down. If the park is shut down, the residents of Maple Land will have no home, as they had lost their previous home in the past. The goal is to reach 250,000 guests in 3 months as the minimum for keeping the park open. To help him believe her story, Latifa grants him the power to read minds, although he can only use it once per person. The story follows Kanie as he attempts to fix Amagi Brilliant Park‘s problems as the general manager.

Amagi Brilliant Park

Visuals and Animation:

Being a Kyoto Animation anime, this has high production values when it comes to its art and animation. It looks similar to other anime they have made. Think back to anime like Hyouka or Kyoukai no Kanata, and you have the general idea. Amagi Brilliant Park is drawn very well, with nice bright colours to bring out the light-hearted nature of the show. The whole fairy tale feel of the anime can also be seen through its art style. The animation also isn’t too bad either. Overall, and as expected, another good looking anime from KyoAni.
