Shadow Skill: Eigi
(Anime)
add
Essentially, Shadow Skill is initially a unique anime which can make you laugh, feel inspired, and get connected with the characters all at the same time. But, it fails to carry through, as the ending is terrible. The well planned story from the beginning crumbles into a series of disconnected and haphazard series of screens (which are often overused). I don't want to shoot the series down completely, because honestly most of it was very enjoyable. Just be forewarned that you'll probably being tearing the hair out of your skull following the fight with Darkness.

Overall it was good, but not entertaining enough. What was fascinating about it was the fact that the characters, setting, and events suggested the layout/activity of a human brain or human thought. It's hard to explain, but the city Romdo represents thoughs bound by societial influence, the world outside basically represents "thinking outside the box." Iggy is the conscience, Proxy/Vincent is the introduction of a new way of thought, Daedelus is desire, kitty girl is hope, and Re-l is the final result: the final action or thought created by the "brain."
This is just my little theory, obviously you could take this show many different ... |
