Aru Tabibito no Nikki ( the story of Tartov Roddle ) is 6 short episodes, a 16-minute masterpiece. A travelers journey set in 6 short experiences. // not for everyone, this show is something you will either love or not really care for //
on to the review -
Story: 8/10
The story is the one place where people typically say it flakes, there is no overall story but after seeing each scene you can get a sense of his life. A lone man and his long-legged pig travel, you are watching the various things he experiences.
Art: 10/10
I am a sucker for the artsy-fartsy
...
stuff. This chalky and mellow feeling you can get from this style and the colors is enough for you to try watching it alone, it is entertaining to watch if you simply look and focus on the art. When I was watching the art as the show unfolds it feels like this is how Tartov sees the world, his emotions depicting the soothing colors.
Sound: 10/10
I rarely come across a show with such a peaceful and beautiful soundtrack, the music is engaging and fun to listen to. It fits each scene and I would honestly listen to it when I am reading manga or playing video games. It is at times melancholy and dreary and at times upbeat and fun.
Character: 9/10
There is no dialogue in this show but I still felt that I could see what type of person Tartov is from how he reacts and what he does. Which I found quite enjoyable.
Enjoyment: 9.5/10
Overall: 9.5 / 10
The only thing I think this show could have done to make it a perfect 10/10 would be if there was more of a resolution, I was happy with the final episode or scene but I felt it could have been more of a conclusion.
