So...why do I like Uta Kata?

The series is a bit everywhere, but honestly it resonates with me.

So when I first watched it I hadn't come out in any capacity, I wasnt even comfortable with myself.

#UtaKataGush Uta Kata was the first time I resonated with media about and for girls and didn't feel guilty. It was liberating and inspiring in that way.

I found myself hooked by Ichika's kindness and struggles.

So, I think I'm ready to unload my feels.

I think the best place to start is theming. So the true theme in Uta Kata is growing up, but specifically growing up under deception.

Every consistent part of the series rings true on this. Ichika is lied to and exploited.

#UtaKataGush The series hides almost all of its cards until the last moments really to fully exercise this, the audience, and Ichika, are left completely in the dark from start to finish.

At first its fine, and as the series progresses, it becomes frustrating.
