Why It Works: Don’t Sleep on Tsurune

Today on Crunchyroll, I ran through a brief formal breakdown of the vivid visual storytelling apparent all through Tsurune’s first several episodes. Part attempted sell and part close visual reading, I’m hoping this piece convinces at least a few wary souls to pick up Kyoto Animation’s latest production. The show’s been very satisfying so far, and given me plenty to chew on in both an aesthetic and character sense each week. I hope you enjoy the piece!
