I'm not someone that is an anime fanatic or an actual reviewer, so take my rant with a grain of salt. In return, I'll write something that isn't a nine-page essay. After the rain was an anime so poor in it's Story and Character Design I had to put into type exactly how much it was bad. For someone like me, that has never made a review, to say it's bad, is saying something. The story begins as a slightly pervy romantic tale of a girl trying to get with a guy double or triple her age, if the premise wasn't cringing enough, don't worry,
...
because this anime is going to spend 8 or 9 episodes wasting your time by giving an illusion of chance for our protagonist, only to begin to try and build character 80% through the anime. It wreaks of awful design and I can't begin to imagine who thought that trying to add all this character and design on the ending to try and excuse why in the ending it couldn't work, is moronic. You have wasted my time watching this when you could have said this one sentence. "Girl fails to hit on man triple her age because they both want to pursue their life goals." That's it. You got the order completely fucked up, usually, you are supposed to try to get me to like the two characters before you try and mash them together. But instead, you did that first and then tried to get me to buy into their characters even though there hasn't been any character development the entire show.
That being said, I did enjoy the art-style, even if the rain and the main character running to give people their belongings trope got extremely stale. I liked how they were able to distinguish age in the face of Mr. Konto and I would like to see that in more anime.
4/10 - Would not recommend, please do not waste hours of your time watching this when there are animes with actual stories you could be watching.
