Reviews of the Bored and Tasteless
Introduction
So, here I am continuing my anime parade with a little gem called “Green Green”.
It’s about a Girl’s school that is joining up with a Boy’s school for a trial run at seeing how the two will blend. The boys are girl crazy and the girls are gentle flowers with a penchant for sleeping naked and distrusting the boys. Go figure.
I would describe this 12+1 episode, ecchi-straviganza as painfully funny and awkwardly unsettling. The characters are marginal, the story line is somewhat predictable and the gags are way over the top. The animation is slightly below par as well. All in all, I give it a 2 out of 5.
The only thing good about this show is it has a catchy opening theme and tons of gratuitous fan service if you dig that sort of thing. Other than that, it’s pretty much a formulaic, one trick pony.
In other news, I apparently missed the fact that there are two anime cons in my area each year.
The main one, Anime Expo, is in the summer. The second one, of which I never knew existed until now,
is called L.A. Anime. This one goes on around the first week of the year. It’s fairly small but well attended from what I surmise.
I would have gone to this one as well if I had known. I guess I’ll just have to wait until summer for the big enchirito.
Anime Law of the Day
Anime Law #9: Law of Dramatic Emphasis
Scenes involving extreme amounts of action are depicted with either still-frames or black screens with a slash of bright color (usually red or white).
The Vad Bag
I wanted to install a skylight in my apartment... the people who live above me weren’t completely sold on the idea.
I can play the harmonica. I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window.
I tried it with a kazoo but almost killed a dog in the car behind me.
Features
I found this piece traipsing through DA. This is gorgeous to say the least. The detail and color are beautifully rendered. I realize this piece is a tad PG-13 but I’m sure you can appreciate it as I have.
To see more of this artists work, got o azurestar.deviantart.com.
Enjoy.
