Hey guys I got a lot of anime watching done this week and I am not quite sure which one I am going to review. I finnished off Tenchi Muyo, Eureka Seven, Aquarion, Origin, and the Air Movie. This all comes despite my very busy work schedule that didn’t seem to end this last couple weeks. I spent last week with company over for the most part upstairs banging around and keeping me from sleeping. Meanwhile I have been sick with a cold. I spent last night sitting in a H&R Block trying to get my taxes done. I had an appointment set for 7:30. My account lady was with someone so I sat and waited for an hour and a half and they finally told me to come back another time. I was so pissed I just left so I wouldn’t scream at them. I also have a sick friend in the hospital that I haven’t been able to see since I have been sick so much. With that all being said I think I will review Tenchi Muyo here as opposed to on the podcast.
Tenchi Muyo:
Overall rating: Just like March came in like a lion and went out like a lamb.
I was down right pleaded with by many individuals to watch this anime. I think a lot that Tenchi has going for it is the fact that it was the first of it’s kind that a lot of people saw. It kind of falls in the Dragonball Z/ Cowboy Bebop range. That being said, as a person who has watched many anime series now and is kind of looking back at Tenchi Muyo I gotta say it does hold up pretty well. I did notice that the first half of the series was a tad more interesting than the last half. There towards the end it turned into more of a hereim show. Both aspects have merit but I think I would have enjoyed it more had I seen what they started with go all the way to the end and then they could do the whole hereim crap with the other series that they have spawned afterwards. I did like the characters and generally enjoyed it. I think for me personally I avoided watching this series because I knew it wouldn’t live up to the hype that people had put on it for me. There are some series you can do that with and some you just can’t. I think we as anime viewers need to work on being a hair more subtle when recommending shows for others to watch. It’s always best to take into consideration who your talking to first. I have a friend who could care less about anime but I at least was able to get him to watch Hellsing and Beserk just because of the adult violence. I think if you keep this stuff in mind you’ll find that you’ll get people sucked in a lot easierthan if you start them off with something like a Neon Genesis Evangelion for which they may never talk to you again until you apoligize. Anyways I think I might review Air the moie or Aquarion this week I haven’t decided yet. I also actually purchased the Box sets of Yukikazee and preordered the Shuffle thin pack. I know that might make some of you roll your eyes but one of these days I will give you a full review of Shuffle. Podcast should record on Friday whether or not anyone else got some anime watching done cause I think I could do a review show all on my own. See you guys then.
