Flower and Asura is an anime that does not stand out for anything in particular. The story is very simple, the characters are very simple, and the only element that stands out is the animation. Regarding the theme of voice acting, the only thing that moves you is the visual representation—nothing in the performances truly adds to the story or engages the viewer. The anime never explains what makes a voice interesting, what nuances intonation can bring, or why it matters. Then, suddenly, the story decides you need to know the past of every character in the series.
So, the anime starts delivering one character’s backstory
...
after another, with the incredible coincidence that, just as their past is being revealed, some event directly connected to it conveniently occurs—wow, very impressive! These elements of the story feel like unrelated pieces forced together. There isn’t much drama, and nothing justifies the time spent on these revelations. The anime misuses its pacing and fails to convey emotions effectively. Ironic, considering that its core premise revolves around the reading of works by some of the most important and renowned Japanese storytellers.
