and the OP/ED were great. The only other piece that I thought was obviously a deus ex machina, was that ending. To have her seemingly pass on though, only to bring her back without any explanation is a nearly unforgivably terrible idea that destroys any connection the viewer still had with the story. I think there is a sequel to the anime. Not a fan of clustered character developments and ass pulled endings. She’s the rightful owner so it’s probably a signal that she’s wearing it again – which she is. She’s here, oh wait that was an illusion and she’s really “gone”, but she’s not dead and she is still here fighting, but then it looks like she’s gonna die and truly be gone, but then she’s saved, but then at the end she’s gone and that’s the end – but not really. he doesn’t feel right in the place of MC. I don’t want say the scriptwriting is totally sloppy, because there is good raw material, but the execution was very bad. Summary â Akihito Kanbara is a high school sophomore in the literature club who believes himself to be a âMeganestâ, and although he appears to be human, he is actually half YÅmu, which makes him invulnerable to wounds, due to the fact that he can ⦠æåã«åºä¼ã£ããã®å ´æã§ã I wouldn’t say plot holes, but it didn’t feel right. One day, Akihito meets freshman ⦠where the mom tells the brother and sister to protect their demon and human friends. Not to mention we are introduced to new spirit world warriors. But as soon as the movie starts, you find out that SHE LOST HER MEMORIES! PDF of the Spanish translation of KNK novel. Some of the episodes (highlights being ep. knk, kyoukai no kanata, anime food, mygif. ãã¤ã ã£ã¦ããã[3]. That line sums up the whole show pretty well. I think a lot of people are disappointed because this anime could’ve been something special, but it came up short. Characters are resurrected. Zutto itai nda *ahem* – I digress. No depth, no other dimensions (or not emphasized enough, I dunno, I wasn’t too invested in them). And this one can’t even blame the source material much. Good ideas, but the execution drags this down to a 6/10 imo. At some point, I think you just have to sit back and enjoy the show without asking too many questions. I never say good bye For once I have no criticism of a Mushoku Tensei episode. I don’t think KnK lives up to all the hype that it received early on, however I do think it’s one of the better shows I’ve seen in terms of being an excellent audio and visual experience. Ditto for slice-of-life, in which one season is more than enough to cover plenty of slice-of-life humour. Need I even say anything about this final episode?For starters,it was hard to give a damn about whatever Mirai & Akihito were going through because they’re just such poor characters,both individually & together – especially Akihito.Then there’s the unresolved matters of the Nase family and Izumi’s fight with that creepy whatshisname dude,as well as her disappearance.And of course,let’s not forget the good ‘ol ass-pull ending.If Mirai stayed dead then they at least the show might’ve left a modicum of impact. Now, now… much as I agree that this show left a lot to be desired, at least it wasn’t as bad as Infinite Stratos or Galilei Donna. I like the designs and the visuals. Let’s just assume this is practice for titles down the road. Everything else is just holes created by bad writing devices. Personally, I don’t think there were too many characters per se. The beginning was a great example of something that built up a lot of mystery and anticipation, without sacrificing all the small details and character development between Mirai and Akihito. Now then,onward to Chuunibyou season 2! The most obvious one being last week’s ending, but I thought every week had a great ending tie-in to the ED. That was quite the asspull of an ending if I ever saw one. And so the end comes. decide this genre is not their forte after all. The dark fantasy follows a high school sophomore named Akihito Kanbara. Of course it leaves the show open for a sequel, but I’d rather have the season stand on it’s own. /rant, “I think you just have to sit back and enjoy the show without asking too many questions”. He helped me with some of the images! It would’ve been much better off as a DVD/Blu-ray OVA episode, or extra 13th episode, and the episode could’ve been dedicated to giving us some actual answers or develop the plot/characters. And to Cherrie, thanks for covering this series and I am looking forward to future blog postings of yours. Coming into KnK, I knew what the source material was like, so i wasnt driven by the hype that surrounded it (which to be frank, a lot of the hype came from people who didnt even know what the source material was like; they were only hyped by the fact that they saw the words “Action”, “Dark Fantasy”, and “Kyo ani” together…which is fine, but that kind of hype right there is a recipe for disappointment). Itsudatte sou sa I’m glad that everyone else was disappointed with that ending. ä»ã®åã«è¨ããªã Kokoro no oku narihibiita boku no ne I don’t see much reason for trying to be positive. And of course, the villain wanted to destroy the world because…he was possessed or something. There’s nothing wrong in general with unanswered questions, the problem is unanswered questions that should never have been asked. I am really being objective here. there is more related to it. There are things i liked about this series and i want to see what is possible n the hands of a better writer and director. The only other thing that came close to a mistery were Miroku’s motivations, which got dragged for god knows how many episodes, only to get addressed with the stupidest one liner ever. The biggest problem with this show is that the writers didn’t know what it wanted to be. That’s probably where anime excels since they usually keep to the same staff throughout the season. And to think that most of us here have longer memories than a mere whining audience…. Sou Then again, everything is up to the producers and the feedback they get, so who knows. Kodamasuru bokura no utagoe A confusing, never really explained anything but happy ending like in KnK. æããçºã£ã¦ç¾ããå²ãã So when she came back to life, I wasn’t as disgusted as most people…? Perhaps the start or restart of a relationship? Futari dake no kibou egaku start line æ£ãè¡ãéå½ã«æã£ã¦ Azayaka ni sakihokore btw, if anyone can find me a scooter that can climb up a snowy hill with a 70 degree incline – let me know. Some sequences and scenes were so well done in the past 12 episodes that it’s hard not to sit back and admire it. I’m trying hard to, but it doesnt work that way anymore. This means that if the author doesn’t want it to be animated by KyoAni, KyoAni cannot do anything about it. =D I toke it was a straightforward dont think to much ending.Just see it how you see it. The visual backgrounds and effects were beautiful… and that’s about it for what it did right. Personally I’ve always liked novels more than the animation because that’s how I envision to story to be like and the anime almost never comapres. Kyo-Ani might really need to reflect on this and decide whether they could learn from their mistakes or whether to decide this genre is not their forte after all. It’s like trying to make juice from unripe fruit – you can try, but if you fail, you wasted a good fruit. It won’t be as entertaining -_-; “Their action scenes may be beautifully animated?” my gifs youmu Kyoukai no Kanata akihito kanbara kanbara akihito. Kyoukai no Kanata: Ending Song: Daisy ⢠Poppy no Kaerimichi: Character Song: Displeasing Diary ⢠Because of "S"adness ⢠Ordinary Girl's Talk! What. Man this show had more loose ends than an X-files season. Why oh why is Kyoani making so many sequels, yet still haven’t announced anything regarding Full Metal Panic. After all, what happened to Miroku in the end? Inori Mirai “broke” and disappeared and Shu Akihito absorbed the Apocalypse virus Beyond the Boundary, which caused Inori Mirai to appear in his mind as a manifestation of the Apocalypse virus Beyond the Boundary. I felt so sad that I didn’t feel as much emotional impact in the BEAUTIFUL visual moments (there was tone! Ikiruimi wo kibou ni kaeru kara Aki’s last cheesy lines would pass the criteria. Kyoukai no Kanata is actually a contender for Biggest Disappointment of the Year. And admittedly, Mirai putting her glasses is too cute. Animation and action was still the most beautiful aspect of this series. It is only because of the “Kyo-Ani tard” in me that I managed to stick around till the very end. ãã¤ã ã£ã¦ããã Ima no boku ni hakarenai Just when I was starting to get attached to the characters.. Thanks for reading and commenting! It’s in the beginning of episode 2 too. Anyways, if you’re reading this, Divine, thanks for helping out Cherrie. I still find many of Gonzo’s shows to be eminently watchable. Just finished marathoning this. I never say good bye Besides they left A LOT of questions unanswered so a season 2 could help do the storyline justice. So, the revelations often felt forced because they didn’t spend enough time building up the relationship between their central characters while the stuff that can’t be explained because it hasn’t been explained yet was just tied up on a rope and winched out to hang in the wind with no setup. And they finally have a chance to show-off their skills with an action-“horror” (emphasis on the quotes) show. fanservice-in-driver’s face scooter ride?). Then there’s the characters -oh boy,the characters…Despite receiving a lot of focus throughout the entire show,Mirai & Akihito were really poorly developed,I couldn’t give a damn about them and don’t even get me started on their attempts at comedy.I found the Nase family more interesting and maybe the show would’ve worked better if they were the focus.To do a comparison,I found the supporting characters in Blood lad more entertaining than the mains here,even though they received like so much less screen time. it is hinted that he has survived…), and managed to spice it up with humor (tickling giant youmu under armpits? 15 views. Thanks for reminding me – I’ll need to write him a thank you lol I enjoyed it, was entertained, and I’d watch a second season for sure. Sore demo ii nda food that it doesnt like? ä»ãã«æºããç¯ã宿ã㦠I don’t know if it’s KyoAni’s fault who shouldn’t have tried a series with fantasy and action. That’s all I can say for this show. Sorry, I guess I didn’t like her very much =X That way the story and be paced and adjusted accordingly, instead of hoping for a sequel sometime in the future if sales permit. Two of the sentences that struck me in this episode: “send this letter to Zenith!” – which proves that behind…, I was late to the party. This show’s failings, like much of Coppelion’s, are firmly on the studio’s heads. between our characters that the show probably expected me to have (especially throughout the latter half of the series). ), and then her existence and grasp of cohesive plot sadly went downhill from there…. I think the bigger flaw lies with them just not being developed enough. overall, KyoKan could have been better, much better in the hands of the right command. Random video I put together to the ending song of Beyond the Boundary, "Daisy" by Stereo Dive Foundation. Futari dake no kibou egaku start line and I am not saying this because of the hype. éããéã¡å¡ãæ¿ãããã !” ohh Kawasumi Ayako-sama~), Anyway, overall…i did enjoyed this series. It’s good enough.
