Carole and Tuesday
Many an anime could be called beautiful, but a scant few encapsulate this in their being the way Carole and Tuesday does.
The latest work directed by Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe, the series sees two young girls named Carol and Tuesday strive to become musicians.
As should be expected though, there’s a catch: The two live in the far-flung future where music and culture are created rapidly and regularly by AI, leaving man-made music and creativity on the back-burner.
While this premise offers room for an interesting story and the animation is instantly notable, it’s when they’re combined with the music the two main characters create that the show is most enthralling.
Earnest, emotional and perfectly utilized, it brings the world and its characters to life. The impact of the story’s highest points are amplified, and listeners are whisked away by the smooth beats and flowing animation for a fleeting moment.
It is, in every sense of the word, beautiful, and with episodes slated for release in May and beyond, it’s well worth diving into this show to get in on the experience first-hand.
