I was bored and just wanted an anime that would keep me mildly entertained-even if it was short lived.
The very first episode had my heart pounding.
It was exciting, it took me in from the very beginning, it definitely caught me off guard.
When it comes to the story line though, I had to take off a couple points.
In the beginning it was way to similar too Naruto.
Ninja, a teacher, three students, one wants revenge on their brother (For killing their family, no less), and a couple other details I must spare. At first it was a little...odd with these almost exact similarities but, if you can spare your feelings towards this in the beginning (honestly, I really didn't mind it much....) you'll realize they have an incredible difference that makes Nabari so unique.
Instead of focusing on ninja and getting stronger, I have to say this anime focused a lot more on the relationships of the characters and this is what I grew to love about this anime.
Story: 8/10
Art was very satisfactory. Some characters may have been simple but, they weren't rushed. Each characters looks was unique in its own way. The artist did a great job by staying in the boundary of not being too dull or too flashy. I feel that most would agree with me on that.
Art: 10/10
Sound was good, I really don't have too much to say besides that I liked it. It wasn't the most amazing opening/endings in the world but, they were enjoyable.
Sound: 9/10
Such a variety this anime held. I have to say this is one of the best animes I've seen in this category. You get practically a taste of everything. I also have to point out how much I loved the main character who wasn't so damn predictable. Yes, Miharu was the break I needed from all those hyper, sometimes brainless mains you see in most animes such as this......
Character: 10/10
I throughly enjoyed this anime. It's sad though.....be prepared to feel a lot of the emotions the characters portray. Like I said, this anime is mainly about the relationships among the characters and you'll get pretty connected to them. You can actually understand them....feel their emotions like there yours.... I loved the experience and for once, I'm happy that I got bored and decided to take a chance.But, I must warn you.....it has a very bittersweet ending that, depending on the person, you may feel quite disappointed.
Enjoyment: 10/10
