Luo Xiao Hei Zhan Ji

Let me talk about my feelings. Compared with other works, Luo Xiaohei makes me feel comfortable, relaxed and not boring.

Luo Xiaohei is a cartoon full of "children's interest". At a glance, it is not only soft and comfortable, but also childlike, like green buds growing out of the mottled corner.

It's especially suitable for children to watch, and the protagonist Luo Xiaohei is also very cute. My children often follow me to watch it.

This is a good work. I like the relaxed and mysterious feeling inside. fantastic. For this reason, I found its products. Amazon has his T-shirt. Interesting and lovely, I want to buy some ... for my children, yes!!!

I like this so much because it's easy going, easy watching and at the same time not rosy and all-is-well.
Conflicts are pretty intriguing, but non-violent. Though you can look at this in two ways. One way is that it's not very realistic. Another way is to say that spirits know that life is not without pain, but they are civil about it and are not fight-nuts, enemy crushers, like in most motion pictures.
I also like very much that there is not a pure white versus black, not evil vs. good thing. OK, I admit, it's a bit fairy tale, but at the same time ... there are bad things that happen. They are just well embedded and explained story wise.
You could say this is a fairy tale which one CAN take as a guiding utopia, in contrast of most fairy tales which are just idealistic and black and white nonsense, especially Western ones.
I also like how minimalist the art is; I don't know if this was budget related or not, but I don't care, because it's done just the way it should be done, namely it gives the focus on expressions and emotions. It adds to the easy watching, but at the same time entertains and let you enjoy the events (and humor). It's an anime thing, but at its best.

Quick Thoughts:
Outside of some nostalgia from the flash-style animation, I didn't get much out of this series. With its 5-7 min long episodes, cutesy art-style, and episodic format, It seems like the target audience was much younger than me unfortunately.

Story:
This series was mostly episodic. There's suppose a story-line involving someone pursuing the main character, Xiaohei, for a pearl he possesses, but it was too fragmented for me to follow. It ended up being a slice-of-life comedy type series following Xiaohei as he interacts with and learns more about the human world. A comparison that comes to mind would be Natsume Yuujinchou.

Art:
The art-style was simplistic, ... but nice to look at. Animation was pretty smooth overall, including the several fight scenes throughout the series.

Sound:
Voice-acting was serviceable I guess, a lot of meowing and other animal sounds. Music was fine during the fighting scenes, didn't notice it much outside of that.

Characters:
I didn't find any of the characters to be notable; they were all pretty basic. Not much development either, though that's to be expected considering how short the show is.

Enjoyment:
As mentioned before, I got some nostalgic enjoyment out of the animation; it reminded of the Newgrounds era of the internet. That ran thin after a few episodes though. Even with the series being less than 3 hours in runtime, it felt like slog to get through the rest of it.
