Itoshi no Betty Mamonogatari

It seems that the story is disjointed because they're trying to compress the manga into a 50 minute movie. There's no development of the characters and we can't understand their motivations at all. Why does Betty fall in love with the male lead and marry him within 3 minutes of their first meeting? Why does he immediately cheat on his "beloved" wife other than his being a stereotypical 80s dude? Even on the plot level nothing really makes sense. People are fighting each other because of... reasons?

This is interesting as a historical look at the art of its time, but not for anything else.

ok this anime is a complete mess were the characters are just fascinating enough that if done right there might be something there. with that said the time given while entertaining there is not much to the characters. the plot is a complete mess and less a plot and more a very messily told journey. the animation is average and really outside of the nudity there is nothing worth noting about it. really the main reason to watch this is for those looking for something so bad it is good. there were seven times i just stated what because of how rush ... and sudden something happen while bad at least i feel some people could get a decent amount of enjoyment because of that.while i do feel if it was a tv series it might of had a chance of being actually good. at the very least i can say if you enjoy train wreck anime at the very least this can provide that. that gives it some worth over the sea of titles that fail to give anything unique with the short time they have so end up having very little to keep them sinking to the bottom of the sea of anime.
