So so so yes I’m watching shit that’s seasonal and stuff but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I just finished two old series yesterday and today and I would like to tell you about them. You? >implying I’m not just writing this to myself.
This is Isurugi Noe
True Tears – I had started the first episode back in the beginning of September, decided to start and finish it again three days ago. Did so. Really dramatic, and flying chickens are really the main plot here. Also, the picture above is Isurugi Noe being the main character’s blue angel, yeah take of that what you will. I used to make fun of people that judge series based on the ending, and I tried to be above that. I can’t, 7/10 is my rating.
This is Rizel
Rizelmine – Tried not to pick a spoilerish screencap, but oh well. That is Rizel, she’s a genetically modified girl developed by the Japanese gov to h4x them shits. For weird and to be explained reasons she was married to this older kid that has a thing for older woman. So it starts as unwanted sudden loli girlfriend appearance, with the male lead being a dick.
It is formulaic like that for the first couple episodes, but no, it turns out to be much more. Funny, fast-paced, unpredictable, and with a sprinkle of drama. You could argue it’s even a coming to age story. Rie Kugimiya is best in that role, and the ending is perfect. Harry Potter-esque. Anyway, my rating would be a 9/10, it only loses one point for the weak start and dickish male lead character.
Well turns out this post ended up being quite big anyway, oh well.
