Level E

Tokyo-born schoolboy Yukitaka Tsutsui is moving to Yamagata Prefecture for high school on a baseball scholarship. Since he went to the top middle school in Japan for baseball, the townsfolk are very excited about his arrival. However, when he arrives in his apartment, he encounters a strange man nonchalantly reading and wearing his clothes! The stranger claims to be an alien who crash-landed on Earth and has nowhere to go. Revealing himself to be Baka Ki El Dogra, the crown prince of the planet Dogra, he is just one of the hundreds of aliens that have already made Earth their home.

Despite his regal origins, the prince is an infamous intergalactic fool who thinks nothing of inconveniencing others for his own amusement. Whether he is running ridiculous tests on his subordinates, giving strange powers to random children, or just generally being a nuisance, nobody is safe from the idiot prince's antics!

Why are aliens so attracted to Earth? It's a question that many fans of science fiction have pondered at one time or another, and there have been a number of different answers - vacations, natural resources, food and water, building a hyperspace by-pass, enslaving the population, experiments and general curiosity (to name a few). Of all the possible explanations though, boredom and baseball are two that probably wouldn't spring to mind.

Togashi Yoshihiro is a name that fans of Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter will recognise, and as popular as those two franchises are, like every mangaka he has a few skeletons buried in ...

Mixed Feelings

Well i just finished watching Level E the other day and after some reflections i have determined it was alright. The series feels episodic for the most part yet there about 2-3 Episode arcs in this short run anime more than once. There was a few episodes i did not enjoy all that much mostly at the very start of the series but the middle and end really had some quality to them. Even though the series uses some slapstick style comedy and pretty cheesy jokes it actually has some intelligence to the plots involved.

The characters of this show are really hard to kinda follow. ... At the start i assumed more people would be main characters but in truth this show is comprised of one main character and a dozen recurring support characters. The shows structure is rather unique this way and it kinda threw me off at first. When i reflect on the characters the 5 color rangers were probably the people i enjoyed most since they hosted a handful of personalty and got some good plots around them. The main character himself was pretty funny but there was not very much depth to him, he just likes causing trouble for the sake of his own enjoyment.

The character designs seemed rather interesting mostly for the faces. The one thing i can really hand to the artists for this show is nobody looks like somebody else and there's a fair amount of detail to most peoples face. There was one or two generic sort of faces but i am pretty sure that was intentional since they were meant to represent a standard in some other genre it parody's. A lot of the show has a very plane sort of background but a few areas really stood out mostly the scenery of space and the winter episodes. Also a lot of devices used in the show and even the ships looked fairly different especially from each other and similar shows in the genre.

The sound was fairly good, i liked the voice actors a lot since each conveyed the personality to the utmost of there ability. In particular Kraft had a very important vocal aspect since he was the only one who really gets completely worked up and emotional over the happenings in the show. another interesting thing is the opening theme, to me the first time i heard it was very different but because of this i remembered it a lot more and it started to grow on me. Overall the audio experience is pleasant and not really negative to the experience.

The thing about Level E that just did not do it for me is i felt there was a lack of energy in the plot. The setups and delivery and even the general pace of the show felt very slow and drawn out to me. It may be just me who feels this way but at times it took me awhile to really get into the show for a extended amount of time. So the show itself is fine nothing to dramatically wrong with it but it just does not have the energy to really raise my excitement towards it. It was somewhat intelligent and well planned but the pace was just dragged at some points i feel that's all.

Based on my viewing experience i give this show a 6 other people who watch this even if they feel it all runs smoothly i don't think will give it much higher than a 7. I would say the show does not really reach a interesting point till episode 4 or 5 so keep that in mind with your viewing. When you meet the color rangers i think is when the show starts getting more active and humorous.

All of the bad parts of shounen in one 12 episode package. Baseball, former delinquents, an annoying MC, tokusatsu hijinks, aliens, boring mystery subplots, references to how much we LOVE! Shounen Jump, and jokes that fall all the way flat. Suffers from Shounen Jump shounen disease where none of the arcs and characters matter when the next arc starts. The main character is absolutely unbearably smug and unpleasant, and even hearing Takehito Koyasu's sexy voice as one of the like, three recurring characters was not worth it. A charmless version of the things that make Shounen Jump shows so accessible and beloved. The entire time ...
