everything about it was meh.
it starts off pretty good, but then along the way, it got, you guessed it, meh. So let's talk about why it's meh.
1. The characters had so much potential. They really did. They were all good characters, take or give, I mean some of them were the typical anime cliche, but what can you do. The thing is that, despite being good characters, the development and animating (figuratively speaking) of these characters succkk. It was like watching a show with really bad actors.
I don't know how to explain it.... Let's see. Okay I got it. So the main character Kentaro.. He does this thing where when he gets upset and emotional, he like pins women to the floor, the wall, railings, ceilings, you name it. But the way he does it, it looks super fake, like an actor portraying a lover's role, but hating the actress he's working with. And don't even get me started on the random emotional outburst. I swear, i didn't think i'll ever say that an anime character had "bad acting" but kentaro really proved to me there was a first for everything.
2. Okay, you know when you're going on vacation, and you're packing everything you need, but you got lazy with the folding and stuff, so you just throw everything into the suitcase and end up with a curling iron encased in a cocoon of panties? This is basically the show. They have all these elements they wanted to add. but they just loosely tied it together, making a good story a pretty crappy one. Sometimes, I felt like something was suppose to happen in episode 3, but they forgot so they jammed it into episode 7. It's just really unorganized.
3. The fights scenes were pretty cool, so that's good.
4. I'll give them the fact that they made me sad, but if you watched a show on killing innocent ten year old girls, I'm pretty sure you'll feel, at the least, bothered. I mean (spoiler alert) they literally bombed 20 girls. legit.
5. The ending was pretty cool. I just wish they gave us more time to connect with the characters before they killed them off. I was left feeling awkward, because the music was playing, and kentaro was screaming "NOOOOO" all dramatically, but I didn't really feel much cause i met him like two episodes ago. Also ONE character developed, and it wasn't a total flop. (sort of spoiler) she went all batshit crazy, and turned all evil, and i thought the animator did a pretty good job portraying that the audience. But then the super cool ending was ruined because kentaro got super emotional on a subway, and graced me his superb acting. (seriously, it was awful. you will understand it once you see it. like i know it was suppose to be touching, but ugh. really?)
6. the older brother and little sister relationship was cute, and honestly the only reason why i finished this anime.
idk man, the thing that disappointed me the most was that this show had so much potential to be a good show, but they went and fcked it up. the animation was good, the drawing, the idea, but they were unorganized about it, and the foundation was weak, resulting in a failed product.
p.s. can we talk about how unorganized this review is. I literally have pro and cons all mashed up together, and look at me criticizing their organization LOL. well. I am not about to go back and change it because it's like 1 AM and i have classes tomorrow,. I have classes tomorrow and my dumb butt is up watching anime and writing reviews bashing them. don't be like me kids. but anyways i hope this review helped :-)
