I found Kure-nai, and decided to give it a try.
#ACTION TAIMANIN KURENAI SERIES#
To 'Not Helpful' voters (and you 'Helpful' voters too): Feedback greatly appreciated =)Ī couple months ago, I decided to scout out some of the series in the Spring 2008 anime season. Personally, I think that gave the series that little extra which made me love it so much. Even during the most intense scenes - either emotional or action-packed - I found it to be very calm. I really enjoyed this series, both because of its mix of many genres, special animation and wonderful characters, but also because of the calmness this anime presented.
Personally, I liked it, but it wasn't anything spectacular, and if you don't like the jazzy type of soundtrack, you can find comfort in the fact that you often don't notice it at all. The soundtrack is jazzy, and fits right into the scenes and the mood. It all culminates into two-three episodes with much action and drama, and an end which you're either gonna love or hate - I can't say more without spoiling anything. Halfway into the series, and a few episodes more, the series takes a drastic turn, and the more dramatic sides of the show starts to unfold, in contrast to the often light and comedic moments of the earlier episodes. But that being said, the episodes were great, because so much seemed to happen - often they featured parallel stories with Murasaki and someone else (often Shinkurou's two female neighbors) in one, and Shinkurou in another one. It starts out very slice of life-ish, going with an episode-by-episode format, where Murasaki learns how the real world looks - after all, she's just escaped from being locked into a house with the most woman-discriminating family I've ever heard about, both in fiction and real life. That does cover well up for the lack of character development that a 12-episode series is pretty much doomed to have. And it's not only the characters as individuals, but also their relationships which I really loved. I really liked that, because it makes it oh so more realistic. The characters are as colorful as the animation is, even the
Oh, and the OP theme animations is pretty whacky - which is both good and bad. The detail may skimp a bit now and then - which drags it down to a 9 (yes, I wanted to give it a 10). The main reason for this is the coloring - it's so vivid! It's sharp and varied colors, something which - as of what I've experienced - is unprecedented. Kurenai is the 08 spring anime I had the highest hopes for, and I surely wasn't let down by it. But to make things more complicated, he also lacks a crucial fact-what is the real threat against Murasaki? Though many details of the job remain unclear, Shinkurou still strives to protect the young lady. However, by interacting with her neighbors, she grows more accustomed to the daily routine, and rids herself of her snobbish behavior, gradually growing attached to Shinkurou. Commoner life, in her eyes, seems bizarre. Murasaki is the seven-year-old daughter of a plutocratic family, who escaped her home under peculiar circumstances with Benika's help. While taking various jobs for his employer, Benika Juuzawa, one assignment leads Shinkurou to live with Murasaki Kuhouin as her bodyguard. Now, despite his unimposing appearance, he is a strong martial artist, who also possesses a strange power. Though kind-hearted and patient, due to his tragic past, he has trained for years to live on. Shinkurou Kurenai is a 16-year-old student by day and a dispute mediator by night.
