Black Cat (TV)
(Anime)
add
This is an anime for fans of anime (yes, i know, who am i talking to anyway?), in that it isn't an anime you'll absolutely fawn over. It's enjoyable to watch, though limited in its time-frame. The characters are definitely lovable, they have human personalities and are probably the main attraction. The series definitely has its share of bishounen and bishojo, but it sometimes gets in the way of the storyline. The voice acting's pretty good, though i recommend watching it in Japanese best. After watching this series, you'll probably want to pick up the manga afterwards.

An anthology of shojo stories, it revolves around the idea of the YumeKira Dream Shoppe. It makes great use of the idea of "wishes coming true".
The first story focuses the wish of being human, the second: the ability to talk, the third: turning back time, and the fourth: changing yourself. A sweet-collection of pure-love stories that introduces fresh, relatable characters in every day settings. Intended for girls, the content is mainly unrealistic yet attractive and adorable nonetheless. Not the most well-thought out thought, but enjoyable to the last page. If you ever thought of a wish for true love, you'll relate to this story. It's like cotton-candy ...

The different possible arcs in the series are interesting and make up most of the bulk of the first volumes.
Towards the last two volumes, role-reversal is used to show how Airi comes to see things at anew. She is played on more as a heroine rather than a victim. The series definitely plays on the fairy tale aspect of it in a comedic way, making the whole idea of magic ... Previous - |
