if Undead Unluck had anything to offer, that would be the sad sight of how low ex SHAFT's director Yuki Yase and his team has fallen
I was anticipating Undead Unluck quite a lot, just to see how terribly would Yase's direction match with something aimed to 13-year-old children, and yeah, I found out; there's nothing wrong with the director or the team themselves (except for the art direction, which is quite disgusting), the problem here is the nature of the source material, as mentioned before their approach is something that would never work with a cheap battle manga adaptation, it doesn't let the staff's ideas
...
bloom and the final result is almost unbearable to watch
There's a funny and probably even sadder part to it though, they're trying so hard to make that SHAFT-pilled approach work that it's noticeable, so it feels unnecessary and makes those acquainted with older SHAFT works like me feel awkward, the only parts where their ideas actually bloomed were the opening and the ending sequences, they're so good!
The only thing that didn't make me regret wasting time on this that much is that it had some great animation sequences here and there, Kazuhiro Miwa's ones especially were amazing, unfortunately that alone doesn't make this mess look any better.
Thanks for reading!
