Series in one selective, crusty image:
I remember watching the entire first season of Kuromukuro the same day it was released to our Netflix. It left me so unfulfilled. These short anime snippets are hard to deal with at times, especially when they have potential.
I'm used to animes rushing their plots and character relationships, so I guess I expected the two main characters to have made out after 5 episodes.
By regular anime standards, they don't share the screen all that often. In fact, the guy had more touching scenes with her 9 year old sister. Like, what?
But well, a slow relationship build-up is admirable and more realistic, and it's not really what made me itch. Rather, the fact I got to see so little of the guy's experiences with modern life.
I was more interested in seeing how this old-timey teenager acted in today's world than the "epic" fights against the giant robots, but his days off were always these short scenes, while every other scene played off in the laboratory or the aliens' meeting room. I tried to care for what they said and did there, but.. there are no jokes being made in those scenes and I am but a simple soul that hungers for simple fun.
Anyway, the show has characters and writing that make you keep watching, and there are still some really, really funny jokes in this.
There are no jokes but still some really funny jokes in it? Perhaps it's more fun in a different language. I know Inuyasha is in German. Thanks for sharing your review. I wish more people would read it.
