In my ongoing quest to catch up on the last few seasons, I watched Insomniacs After School. I thought it was a 10/10 perfect anime. Every little thing was packed with so much emotion that I felt strangely nostalgic even though I was watching it for the first time. Nakami and Magari were both great and I loved every second they spent together. It had sweet moments without ever feeling saccharine and sad moments without ever feeling melodramatic. This didn't have any of the awful tropes that usually ruin romance anime for me. There were no idiotic misunderstandings or evil love rivals. This was just the story of two people who otherwise had little in common who realized they each suffered from insomnia. Then they began slowly getting to know each other, and it was beautiful. Some sequences were so magical that I didn't want them to end. Their little radio shows in episode seven might be one of my favorite anime moments ever.

This was a better astronomy anime than Asteroid in Love. A better photography anime than Tada Never Falls in Love. A better camping anime than Laid-Back Camp. A better insomniac anime than Call of the Night. And a better romance anime than any other that I've ever seen. I'm glad I finally watched it.
