91 Days: Mijikai Rousoku

Not everyone enjoys themselves a recap, especially on short series such as this one but recaps are not just a reminder, well, most of the time they are. But not always.
In some few shows, especially the short ones, the massive character rooster can be pretty overwhelming and hard to keep up with, a lot of new names all at ones can ruin great moments and distract you from important conversations, but 91 Days Recap at least nails explicitly at its core with this one.

- Story (8.0/10):
As simple as it can get, a young kid survives the massacre of his own family and devotes his life ... to get the revenge. Making a come back after 7 years and penetrating the family responsible undercovered as one of their members, and it gets much more complex as it goes on.
The pacing here couldn't really be any good more than it already is, not too rushed or too slow.

- Art (8.5/10):
As simple as it looks, the animation has some quality to it here. The art style looks very generic but not funky or bad, every move is fluid and complementary to the fast-paced music as well.
I like the approach they took with presenting faces and expressions, you don't see any characters having their eyes taking half the space on their face. The art style looks a lot realistic than what you get nowadays, seeing how this is a modern series.

- Sound (9.0/10):
I absolutely love the opening and end theme songs, let's not forget the soundtracks. One other thing that made me glad to have chosen the DUB version was the accurate translation and accent imitation. All the voices matched their portrayed faces and attitudes perfectly.

- Character (7.0/10):
I have no problem with the characters, of course, I dislike some but for a reason is that you as the viewer are supposed to not like them, something that I think this show does perfectly.

- Enjoyment (7.0/10):
I'm not much of a recap fanboy, but I like me some good ones, and this one didn't disappoint. It's just a retelling of the first 7 episodes focusing on highlights that have come to pass, just what I needed with this type of shows.

- Overall (7.9/10):
I wouldn't actually recommend this if you're not too invested in the show, but it's always fun to pick up old stuff that you didn't notice at the start or just to refresh your memory on the big bangs that have happened. Anyways, this was a solid recap in my eyes.

What you need to know: The recap is worth watching if you are confused about who is who. It doesn’t really help much to clear up the plot, but they do put an emphasis on showing a characters name next to them, and I really needed this as I was forgetting all of the characters names. So if you find yourself a little confused about that, I would highly recommend watching this through to clear up who is who.

But overall… 3/10. Not super good at recapping what you really forgot. It gives way too much screen time to things like the initial shooting that ... happened on the first episode… like how would someone forget that? It’s literally the whole reason the main character is doing everything…

If you are halfway through the series and feel like it isn’t that good, just stop now. It’s not gonna get better and I found the ending very disappointing.

This review will be very succinct since this is just the recap episode and if you wish to read my thoughts on "91 days" I have a full review on MAL's page for the main title.

This recap unfortunately has a lot of flaws and little to no upsides, the recap is only of the first six episodes which makes this utterly useless for anyone that did not watch weekly and that isn't taking months to watch this anime. It also fails to recap all the important details of the story leaving some relevant parts out and giving excessive time to some moments that didn't need ... it. Since the recap is of only the first half and not the entire show you can't even use it as a refresher in case you want to remember what you watched some time after.

The only positive aspect I could find with this recap is that since this show's characters don't have crazy unique designs and since a lot of characters are introduced with each episode it might serve well for those who were getting them confused and mixed up and lead viewers to the climax of the show with a better grasp at which characters exactly are making each move.

All in all definitely not worth it in my opinion, after having watched it I simply felt like it was wasted time 2/10.
