Let me just explain to you where I'm coming from before I start. I hate Japanese humor. I don't think it is funny, at all. But what surprised me is that I liked Sunred. The episodes are filled with good, clever writing, and humorous ideas, that while it rarely made me laugh out loud, gave me a nice smirk and a chuckle now and then. And that really surpassed all my expectations for the series.
This is more a slice of life about a the bum superhero Sunred, and his competently sweet, yet naive archnemesis General Vamp. While the story is basically nonexistant, with very little continuity, this is more a slice of life of the characters, who are all brilliantly written.
The art is low budget, but it lends itself to the atmosphere of the show beautifully. The music is not terribly memorable, except for the ending theme, but supports the show well.
Overall, I enjoyed Sunred much more than I expected to, in no small part due to the writing and the characters. This is a clever show, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys superheroes, clever writing, and has the patience to get through the Japanese attempts at humor.
