Just breezed through this anime on a lazy Sunday, and man oh man were there SO many things I'm angry about!
... Okay, no, there's only one thing I'm angry at.
STORY: 6. 12 episodes, and most of them are dialogues. Yes, I understand they want to set a storyline, but at times it confused me -- who's who? Another betrayal? Wait, weren't you supposed to be somewhere else!? As I type this, I'm halfway through the second series, which is another review altogether.
I digress, though. I watched this show thinking 'oh! This would be a brilliant anime on a lazy Sunday'. No, not really. But hey,
...
I kept watching, didn't I?
ART: 9. The art is absolutely breathtaking. The countryside, the little details in the houses, etc.
SOUND: 5. Not too big with the sound. Perhaps it's just me.
CHARACTER: 8. NOT SO FAST! I am saving this 8 for characters that do deserve it. Who are they, you ask? Anyone that IS NOT Chizuru, the protagonist.
Ahaha, so my rant begins:
SO! Chizuru Yukimura. Where do I even begin. She's the most one-dimensional character ever. Helpless, crybaby, and her expressions only consists of: :(, or :|. I am not even kidding. SO infuriating! You have great power within you, and you decide to scream out people's names in hopes of them not attacking you, and the boys will come and rescue you in a heartbeat? Jeez, man. I'll put you in the same group as Orihime Inoue of Bleach, and that girl from Vampire Knight (for the love of anime, I cannot remember her name.) I feel like STRANGLING her if I could. She wields a sword, and 95% of the time she hardly sheathes it and puts her hand there probably deciding whether she wants to take it out or have McDonald's later on. When the enemy's sword is RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER FACE, she screams, one of the boys rescue her, she says their name and cries some more, the end.
!?!?!?! WHY. You have a freakin' weapon. USE IT. No, more importantly, USE YOUR BRAIN. -frustrated sigh- There were so many times I wished to scream at my screen, but alas, it falls on deaf ears. Sigh.
ENJOYMENT: 6. See: Characters. You will know why by now.
OVERALL: 7. Lovely anime, lovely art, insufferable protagonist but the other characters are fine. Am I biased, you say? Probably. I don't regret watching this, though.
