🍗 Difficulty: Nice List
❄️ Anime Completed from my gift:
- Gunslinger Girl
Comment: This was the most unexpected positive surprise out of the present. Didin't expect to like it that much, since I had some fair amount of prejudices for it (so 'girly driven', etc), but it proved me so wrong. I enjoyed the episodic approach which allowed a lot of subtle characterization of the characters via sidenotes. Definitely interested in seeing how the story continues in the second season (and the manga, as well). It hit some high notes that reminded me of one of my fave series Noir. 9/10
- Tenshi no Tamago
Comment: Mhh. I am a bit torn about it. It is a stunning piece and so up to ones imagination and interpretation as it would be expected from it. I only feel comfortable in giving it a 5/10 to evade an actual rating and go the diplomatic route, though. It has some really amazing moments, but also some narrative decisions that made it hard to like (personally). At least I can say of having seen it now.
- Space☆Dandy (watched 5 out of 13 episodes so far to meet 8h)
Comment: Yes, I liked Bebop but I already expected Dandy to be a bit more on the goofy side. Other than with Gunslinger Girl, I am not that big of a fan of the episodic narrative that - unlike Bebop did - doesn't have an overarching storyline, keeping me entertained enough to watch more than just one episode per day. It is funny, but some gags are already wearing off a bit. Thanks to BONES stunning visuals and quirky side characters it's currently sitting at a 6.5/10. I expect it to end up on a 7/10 after finishing it.
Total time: 18*24 minutes + 71 minutes = 503 minutes (8.38 hours)
All in all I am super happy for the list, so thank you very much, dear Santa. Once I'll find out who you are, I'll get in touch with you again regarding the thing you wondered about reading my likes/dislikes list. I also hope you got your christmas presents for your family just in time after having me as such a pain in the arse. :D Will also watch the OVA you've given to me, but I currently don't have enough time, so it has to wait a bit longer.
