CONVERSATION

FRIEND 1: HEY, HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN "GOLDEN TIME" ANIME? I'VE WATCHED A

FEW EPISODES, AND IT'S PRETTY INTRIGUING.

FRIEND 2: YEAH, I'VE SEEN IT. HOW MUCH OF IT HAVE YOU WATCHED?

FRIEND 3: I'VE WATCHED QUITE A BIT. IT'S A GOOD SERIES, ISN'T IT?

FRIEND 4: DEFINITELY. I'D SAY I'VE SEEN ALL OF IT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT

THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?

FRIEND 1: WELL, I THINK THEY GIVE EACH CHARACTER A FAIR AMOUNT OF SCREEN

TIME, BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE BANRI'S STORY OVERSHADOWS OTHERS.

FRIEND 2: TRUE, I NOTICED THAT TOO. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE DEPTH OF BANRI'S

CHARACTER IS WHAT MAKES THE SERIES INTERESTING.

FRIEND 3: AND WHAT ABOUT THE HUMOR IN THE SERIES? I'D SAY THERE'S A

DECENT AMOUNT OF IT.

FRIEND 4: I AGREE. IT'S NOT OVERLY COMEDIC, BUT THERE ARE MOMENTS THAT

CATCH YOU OFF GUARD AND MAKE YOU LAUGH.

FRIEND 1: ANY FAVORITE CHARACTER SO FAR?

FRIEND 2: MITSUO HAS GOT TO BE MY FAVORITE. THE GUY IS HILARIOUS.

FRIEND 3: I'D SAY KOKO IS A STANDOUT CHARACTER FOR ME. SHE ADDS A LOT OF

DRAMA TO THE STORYLINE.

FRIEND 4: TRUE, KOKO'S CHARACTER IS QUITE COMPLEX. AND WHAT ABOUT THE

ROMANTIC ASPECT OF THE SERIES?

FRIEND 1: IT'S INTERESTING HOW THEY NAVIGATE THE ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS.

NOT TOO OVERDONE, JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DRAMA.

FRIEND 2: YEAH, IT FEELS REAL, NOT OVERLY ROMANTICIZED. HOW MANY

EPISODES ARE THERE IN TOTAL?

FRIEND 3: I BELIEVE THERE ARE AROUND 24 EPISODES. ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU

HOOKED FOR A WHILE.

FRIEND 4: I'D SAY IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING TILL THE END. SO, HOW

MANY OF US ARE UP FOR A "GOLDEN TIME" MARATHON THIS WEEKEND?

ALL: COUNT ME IN! LET'S BINGE-WATCH IT TOGETHER!
