Ruri Dragon
(Manga)
add
This is literally K-On but with Dragon gimmick instead of playing music. May be I'm just too old to think that 1 missed week in a school is such a big problem, but the fact is that there's nor plot nor interesting characters. Dragon features exist just to be the reason to draw horns on the girl. They expose the feature, kinda do something to calm this wild feature and then it is never used again. They can mention it in talk but no actual use. No explanations on what are the other dragon features, no meeting with her father dragon, no asking mom anything

Quartz no Oukoku
(Manga)
add
This manga is like Witch Hat Atelier and dark Madoka. Art style reminds atelier but with less detailed backgrounds (still decent tho). Characters wear pretty outfits, when the story is cozy it looks so, when it creepy and dark it looks creepy and dark. Art is a strong side of Quartz no Oukoku. The weak side sadly is plot. It started not bad, but after some time plot was in complete mess. Events happens, situations are tough, mc almost got killed and hated by everyone, but in next chapter the issue was resolved behind the curtains. Pace is unstable - in earlier chapters it

I have never tried Gundum anime before, though I like mecha and watched a lot of it. And this one was insanely bad. Every aspect besides visual and sound design wasn't done properly. Was there even any plot in the story? Characters just met and randomly duel with each other. Interactions between characters are boring, main characters have like one characteristic which define their whole personality and always act the same. Suletta just bumbling all the time, Miorine always angry scream and punch Suletta, all other cast just too boring. There was only one character who really changed over a few episodes, but they just

First of all, I'm not a fan of Ghibli. I watched some of their works but liked only Spirited Away, so I didn't have high expectations for this movie. We have a very leisurely start with a lot of injection, then it all is like Tom and Jerry till the very end - heroes just run, crawl, go through different locations, symbolic event which were supposed to mean something, but heroes just pass through it and never ever remember them again. None of the raised topics were paid enough attention or got a development, same goes to all characters of the story. This movie reminds

Kyokou Suiri
(Anime)
add
This anime has more water than the Pacific Ocean.
First episode tricked me with Bakemonogatari style's dialogues and youkais and I believed that it would be similar to Bakemonogatari. Haha, it is more similar to my diploma. In russian title is 'False Conclusions' and its really true. Firstly I thought we will get some stories which include a murder and yokai, but, we got like 1 introduction story about turtle, and then infinitive Steel Nanance arc. Protagonists saying same thoughts in different words for 4 series in a row. And even 'action' in 9th episode is just saying boring things. Iwanaga and Kuro are cool ... |
