What happens when a talented but aimless high-schooler discovers art for the first time and realizes it’s the only thing that makes him feel alive? Blue Period is an intimate, beautifully observed story about passion, burnout, fear, and the courage it takes to chase a dream that might break you. As Yatora pushes himself from zero experience to the brutal entrance exams of Tokyo University of the Arts, the series unfolds with sincerity, vulnerability, and an unflinching look at what it means to create.
It’s raw, inspiring, and deeply human — a must-watch for anyone who’s ever chased something bigger than themselves.
This episode sees Brendan White joined by Tom aka The Wraith in the Riverside Studio to share their thoughts on Tsubasa Yamaguchi and Netflix's 2021 coming of age artistic drama, Blue Period.
At Sakura Society, we’re here to help you decide if this emotionally rich coming-of-age journey deserves a place on your watchlist — and your heart.
As a friendly FYI, this episode will be a full deep dive on episode one, titled Awakening to the Joy of Painting, so be ready for spoilers.
