Tennis Club Peeping Tom
I haven't been around much the last month, because I haven't watched many recent stuff. On the first half of january I finished some wonderful old WMT anime series and another one that is mostly an unnoficcial WMT title. They were; Ie Naki Ko (wonderfully directed by Osamu Dezaki (Ace Wo Nerae, Rose Of Versailles, Ashita No Joe to mentions a few)), Perrine Monogatari (the original novel was writen by the same person that has written the novel that Ie Naki Ko was based of, and they are some sort of companion novels, they're called "Sans Famile" and "En Famile" respectively, very powerful works), Marco (finally completed it in digital form) and Romeo Blue Skys. I love this type of children novel based anime. Too bad we don't have them anymore.
Anyway, back on topic. Last couple weeks I decided to catch up with some stuff that I had downloaded.--------------------------------Rio Rainbow Gate! #1 – 5.0This reminded me of Najica, pretty useless anime.DroppedFractale #1 and #2 – 5.0The animation is good, but I’ll have to pass this one too. Couldn’t get into the characters, story and overall setting.Dropped.Wandering Son #1 and #2 - 5.0Strange stuff here. Art, character designs and music are good as expected BUT (there’s a huge but), this doesn’t feel right. Apart from the cross dressing stuff, which I trace back to Ranma, which I can bear, we have also a kid facing his homosexuality issues(!). Definitely not normal, but it happens and always has happened in all societies except we are talking about first years in middle school here, they haven’t even started their puberty period! Taking these issues aside, my main problem with this series is that all the kids behave like adults. Apart from those two kids which I took as examples, the anime focus more kids which is goo in my opinion, but they are not being the middle school kids with their usual goofing and general plays. I certainly imagine this being aired late at night in Nippon.DroppedLevel E #4 – 6.9Very strange anime we got here, but interesting to say the least. It uses some weird and dry humor which I like.Kimi Ni Todoke 2nd #4 – 7.2This series has been a delight to follow. A new male character entered the scene to add some rivalry feeling to the story a little. Nothing really new, but the art and the nature of the characters are really nice to look at. Yeah, the romantic couple took some steps backwards and that’s not good, but I think it might be concluded in this “ark”, or at least I hope. J.Beelzebub #5 – 6.2The beginning of the series is going more slowly than the story told on the OVA. I’m enjoying the series so far, especially for the “shounen” feeling that it has, the lead character is a strong guy that is able to beat the crap out of his opponents, but the downside are the useless side characters, the gothic maid, the annoying brat that is always giving shocking treatment to everybody in his range and the weird moustached fellow with his strange and dubious behaviour.I’m not too much into modern “shounen”, but I’ll see some more episodes of this.
