sooo i finished y5 :) it was a really good experience, i'd say!

the plot made me quite interested in the beggining and with each chapter and part i was more and more absorbed in this game but if i'm being honest the ending felt kinda rushed?? for me. like on the one hand technically most of the plot points were finished but it didn't quite feel like it?? idk. it's like there were enough build up for the reveal but it wasn't handled properly. But maybe it's just me! okaay!

AS FOR THE CHARACTERS god i liked them so much!!!!!! even those, who didn't play major role in the plot, hell, i can say that even the girl from haruka's dance battle stories was memorable for me (akari i love you) AND DON'T GET ME STARTED on second-plan characters from every part of the game!!!! they were handled so wel!! i'm still a little bit itchy 'cause of park's death but hey!!!!! at least most of the 'antagonistic but actually interesting' characters didn't die so i guess it's not that bad GOD i hated that trope. i also thought that morinaga would play a huge role in this but was mistaken lol.

AND PROTAGONISTS!!!!!! I LOVED HARUKA'S STORY SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE SHINADA! I LOVE AKIYAMA! saejima and kiryu are there too ig JUST JOKING I LOVE THEM HAHA their stories were realy good. i also love dancing. and singing/ and being an idol.

i think i will end my review here but i still have a lot of good things to say abt this game it was GREAT!
