scope Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Just finished watching this tonight, definitely one of my favorites now. Probably the most human an anime series has ever felt to me, nailed the details of a 50's period piece. None of the episodes felt wasted besides the recap episode and the story was so heavy that I felt like I'd watched something double the length, a shame this series doesn't get more light but anime fans love tits and explosions I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naraku360 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I remember that from years back. Haven't watched it, but I know people said it was very sad. It was overall pretty good, imo. I struggled to see it as being tragic in the way most people did, though. My primary gripe was how antagonists were portrayed. The main cast were mostly solid characters, wherein the antagonists were caricature-grade villains with really no redeeming qualities. It was frustrating to watch for that reason. The lack of depth and sheer monstrosity of the villains took a great deal of weight off the conflicts given to the otherwise reasonably good cast. So, it boiled down to a strong leading cast, but poor conflicts instigated by characters too extreme for me to take seriously. It was too bad I couldn't buy into the antagonists nor the shit they'd pull, otherwise it was totally my kind of show. I can see why someone would like it a lot for the main group. It was less memorable for me because of the characters surrounding the main bunch became too big a distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was really the biggest weakness of the show was the over the top cartoonish villains, the second half didn't seem to have them as much and felt more natural to me, I guess I just chose to overlook it because I enjoyed the core cast and the emotion for me came from their struggles to survive post war Japan but yeah a few of those villains were pretty ridiculous lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scope Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 You must be pretty bored to have already decided you're not going to watch a show but still willing to post in a thread about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
