New Anime Review: Soukou no Strain

by Mappy » Sun Nov 26, 2006 7:34 am

This series is actually turning out pretty good. It also has easily disposable supporting characters, which gives more reason for the degree of mürrisch.... In fact, I wouldn't want to be any character in this show, since the producers are taking great joy in hatcheting their creations. 8)

It also has one of the most amusingly deserved deaths for a character I've seen in a long time. And they looked like they were going to be around for a lot longer than they were. But as I said, it sucks to be a supporting character in this show. 8)

Ok so it doesn't keep characters (ala Gantz , Elfin Lied) ... but does it mean its a watch ?
I must feel proud about the things I choose ...,

Be it Ero-games , doujinshi , or clothes ; its all the SAME !

Well, it abjectly fails to keep the time, so it doesn't exactly work as a watch. But I like the show, and that's all that matters in my world. 8)

I'm loving this series but I'm getting the definite feeling that the scriptwriter feels that character designers don't do enough work.
