Blue Miburo Episodes 1-12 Anime Series Review

Feb 23, 17:00

5 comments

anime

The plot hasn’t developed in any particularly interesting ways, to the point it’s hard to write anything positive about the show. ― The Bakumatsu period, the final years of the Edo period, was an era of great social change and should be a fertile choice to set a historical drama.

I think there are a lot of anime fans—a lot of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure fans, in particular—who would love Kinnikuman if they only gave it a try. ― A few months ago, when FLOW was on their world tour, I went to one of the shows.

It’s a narratively and thematically rich show that rewards close attention to character development and dialogue in-between moments of larger-than-life characters beating seven kinds of hell out of one another. ― After the bitter disappointment that was The Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer's abysmal anime, Satoshi Mizukami fans were understandably wary about studio White Fox's subsequent adaptation of ...
