Is the Order a Rabbit? Bloom

Sometimes after a long day, I have the desire to watch something lighthearted and fun. This show continues to provide that. It’s nice to see that in the age of sequels, GochiUsa has been one of those whose quality has not diminished. Despite years of waiting for another season and being made by a different studio this time around, the show has retained its charm and all of the things that made it great. If you’ve seen the first two seasons, you will know what to expect. It’s still cute, the characters are still funny and lovable, and it is still wholesome. The look of the showis relatively the same with some showcase of beautiful artwork in many scenes. I particularly liked the Halloween episode where the streets had a gorgeous color palette with all the different shops and decorations. The background art of the town is still highly detailed and still makes me wish I could live in it with it’s comfy nature. There is definitely a shift in focus on the school that the older girls attend as well as other areas of the town instead of just the Rabbit House cafe. There is a sense of progression with the characters despite the fact that this is just a cutesy slice of life. As the younger members of the cast, Chino, Megumi, and Maya get a taste of high school life as they scout the place which signifies that yes time is indeed moving in this story and the characters are getting older. We get to see them feeling anxious and worry about the future. It’s subtle but the slow development is there which is an element of the show that I really like. Sharo gets the whole alter ego thing going for her and seems to be more confident. If you’ve seen Yuru Yuri, there was a character in a tv show that resembles Sharo in appearance similar to how Chinatsu looked like Mirakurun. I love this addition to her character since she uses it for gags in many scenes and just embraces it plus her outfit is pretty cute. Meanwhile Chiya gets more development as she has a stronger relationship with Rize and Chino’s friends. Every member of the cast feels like they are on equal footing here and the moments of emotional merit indeed hit all the right notes if not more in this season. There are some new characters who get some screen time in the form of the other students at their school. The OP definitely grew on me and became very catchy. It’s light and energetic and has a similar feel to the first two openings just a higher pitch. The ED is not my favorite in the series (that would be the second season’s) but it does have very pretty colors and gorgeous visuals. Overall, it’s just more GochiUsa which fans should be excited for. The characters are still bubbly, cute, and air headed and the art style is still much the same. I like cute things and this show is the living embodiment of everything that can both give me cancer and cure it at the same time. If you liked the first two seasons, you can expect much of the same with just a little bit more endearment and progression by the characters.

If you liked the other seasons, this is the best one yet. The cute fluffiness is ramped to the max in this third season. The colors are vibrant, the stories are engaging, and the characters are as loveable as ever. Watching each episode, I had this uncontrollably involuntary silly grin fixed on my face. Honestly ended every episode with manly tears ;^; GochiUsa is the kind of show that's impossible to have a favorite character. Right when you decide, "Yeah, that's my favorite character" -- you realize, "Ah, but what about that character!? ...and that character!? and that one too! *raaarrrrghhh*" This season preserves that feeling,giving each character its proper time-in-the-sun with much appreciated development. As with the other seasons, the opening theme, ending theme, and insert songs are on point. I do recommend watching the previous entries beforehand, as there is a lot to be appreciated from previous occurrences. The fuwa-fuwa quality is off the charts here, and I am certain you will like it. Well, if you've watched the others, there's little question you would try this one. So let this review affirm any questions and wonderings you may have had!

Title: Charming but Repetitive I had hopes for is the order, a rabbit bloom, not high hopes but hopes However, my experience with the series took an unexpected turn. While many viewers might find it to be a delightful and heartwarming show, I personally struggled to connect with it. Is the order a rabbit bloom certainly possesses its own charm, with its cute characters and relatable everyday scenarios. The initial appeal is undeniable, and I appreciate the effort put into capturing the essence of slice-of-life storytelling. Yet, as the episodes progressed, I found myself being extremely bored and falling asleep it felt likea chore The repetitive nature of the show made it an uphill battle to finish. There were moments where I felt like I was forcing myself to watch, rather than feeling genuinely engaged. The cute factor, which drew me in initially, quickly lost its impact as the same patterns and scenarios played out repeatedly. I get that slice-of-life centers around the mundane aspects of life, but there needs to be a balance that keeps viewers me specifically invested. Unfortunately, is the order a rabbit bloom didn't strike that balance for me. I totally get how others might find comfort in its predictability, I couldn't help but feel that the charm wore thin quickly In the end, my personal experience with this little nightmare was one of missed potential. Overall, if you're a fan of slice-of-life and enjoy shows that embrace the everyday, you might find something to appreciate in this anime However, for those seeking a more dynamic and engaging narrative, DO NOT WATCH

After 2 lackluster OVAs, I was pleasantly surprised that the Halloween episode of Bloom delivered a much more heartfelt Mother-Daughter bonding episode than Sing For You ever did. Indeed, Bloom is always exceeding expectations and consistently topping itself, making it the best, no questions asked, season of Gochiusa to date. As it usually is for these 3rd season shows, all the experience by the creative staff has truly paid off spectacularly in the third season, and all the buildup in the past 2 seasons spent learning about the ins and outs of each character finally culminates in unique and memorable adventures for each member of thecast. The artwork in particular received a noticeable upgrade, Japanese Colmar has never looked this beautiful, this peaceful, this vibrant, before. A special highlight is Aoyama's and Rin's date around the town. The beautiful townscape combined with the stunning lighting of that final carnival setpiece just totally sells the deal on this. Just an incredible moment all around. The third season of any given SoL show would usually be used to experiment with different group compositions to see what sticks and what doesn't, while also exploring other facets of existing character dynamics to a deeper level. And Bloom does exactly just that and struck a perfect score in all of them. Secondary characters are also given more time to shine and express themselves to great effect. My one gripe is that Mocha hardly appeared in the show, but at the very least we have tons of Aoyama to make up for it. I'll admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of Gochiusa even in the first two seasons, I always felt the series was lacking in something extra needed to elevate it to the next level, and I think Bloom made me figure out what had been missing so far: Heart. Bloom is filled to the brim with it. You can truly feel the blooming relationships between each character, and the show is packed with many genuine moments examining the characters themselves as well as their relationships, motivations, and sense of being. Extra so since a large focus is placed on Chimame's graduation as well as the anxieties within. Chino's and Cocoa's final moment especially calls this to mind, the gradual progression of their friendship leading to her heartful thank you to Cocoa being also extending to the viewer for their many years of following the series. It really tugged at my heartstrings and left a hole in my heart that can't be easily filled (until Non Non Nonstop next season at least). Even the weakest episode in Bloom is still as good as, if not better than the better episodes from the first two seasons. Everything from comedic pacing, to general scene direction, to setpieces, to that always brilliant soundtrack are all improved and accounted for in this season. Bloom stands out among Gochiusa and even other Kirara shows as one of the best SoL the industry has on offer. After close to seven years of being with the Rabbit House girls, it's honestly difficult to bid them farewell once more, but I do hope we'll meet each other again, in that ever present cafe on the streets of Japan-Colmar. 8/10
