I didn't even know this anime existed until I saw the movie pop up in my recommendations by a friend. Since I'm an anime fan, I immediately searched the movie on here and found out it had a tv adaptation. After enjoying the movie version quite a bit, I was wanting to check out the TV series. However, after reading a review saying it was incomplete, I was hesitant. Anime is notorious for leaving open ended endings, some will still leave you with a wholesome feeling towards the end while others will leave a gaping hole that might keep you up at night and regretful

I'm going to cut right to the chase and make this review as short and to the point as I can.
As an older anime aired in the early 1980s, I do appreciate the animation style and what they had to work with back then, therefore I will leave that be. That being said, the biggest issue I have with this anime is that it has some horrible character development and it's inability to take risks and really make some memorable scenes. Issues: - Lacks characters with a proper story and background. I want to cheer the characters on, but I sort of don't know why I ...

You can cut this anime series down to 30 episodes (mostly from the middle of the series) and STILL display enough of Sara's suffering to make a point - that it's a hard-knock life, for .... uh, ahem...that song does stick doesn't it?
It's dragged out way too long and I ended up skipping through part of several episodes just to get to the conclusion. It started out as something interesting, but became something rather painful and aggravating to watch. The balance is off. Extremely cold-hearted, evil people all congregated under one building and supportive characters that lacked voice and power to make much of a ...

Salaryman Kintarou

Btw, harem should be included in the genre.
Even though it takes a very serious tone towards political and corporate corruption, it throws an over the top, too-farfetched-to-believe character. A number of cringeworthy scenes 'trying' to show how desirable the main character is, problems and solutions that fall into place all too perfectly well, and 'coincidental' and 'fateful' encounters that magically work in favor for our righteous hero slash salaryman. Yes, Kintaro is destined for greatness, loved by the heavens above, inevitably admired and cherished by everyone, even his enemies ... and the anime tries to ham it in every chance it gets. Even with ...

Perrine Monogatari

I've watched a lot of the series in the World Masterpiece Theater.
And this is by far my favorite. It starts out slow at first, however, once she arrives at her Grandfather's location, it becomes much more eventful and exciting. This became one of the most satisfying anime I've ever watched. It has a good balance of sad moments and moments that make you want to high five your invisible buddy. The voice acting was pinpoint in my opinion. The key thing to this anime is those eventful moments that make you feel good inside or when things are revealed, the anime really knows how to capture that moment. ... |
