After the Rain starts with potential as a quiet, introspective drama but quickly drifts into uncomfortable territory. The premise—a high school girl developing feelings for her middle-aged boss—creates an uneasy tone that overshadows any emotional depth the show tries to build. While the animation and music are gentle and well done, the story lacks meaningful direction and feels unsure of what it wants to say. It’s more awkward than heartfelt, leaving you wondering what the point really was.
