Sarazanmai

After watching 4 episodes of this anime, I found that it kept having the same format on each episodes. We are hearing the same two songs again from the characters, as much as they are catchy and good, you want others too! I'm not saying to keep producing new songs and then the rest is forgotten but I would like to have at least more new songs on the anime to add freshness to it. When I first looked at this anime, I was blown away and fell in love with it straight away! I also was surprised to find out director Kunihiko Ikuhara also directed "Revolutionary Girl Utena" which I loved and I was so disappointed I didn't like this one. This anime was so colourful, had great Japanese voice actors as well as involving their singing voices and the characters were good. Unfortunately I felt the storytelling was rather too vague by not thinking outside the box to add more new ways to attract viewers like myself to keep watching it.

I think its best to stop watching this anime and hopefully find other "over the top" ones that are way better then this!

At first, i found Sarazanmai confusing, boring, disappointing... like the other people found it. But, i am a strong believer of that you need to know the whole thing to be able to review it. And now, after 9 chapters the plot is strong, it had some really good twists and all the confusing things has been taking some clarity.

Is not just a show about nonsense, it's something that has a lot of messages since the first chapter that are relevant in the posterior ones. It has a really well structured history and plot, the characters aren't completely plain and it has enough unexpected plot twists. It's not just predictable on any sense if you don't know the original material.

Graphically is pretty good (a bit over saturated but i think it was the main intention) and the soundtrack it's interesting and hilarious.

It is definitely a show that it's worth of a second try, or a third one.

For me, is one of the best animes of this season. It just needs a little bit of patience.

Throughout this entire series I was thoroughly entertained. Ikuhara somehow made this anime both stupid (in a good way) and deep at the same time. This is honestly in my top 10 anime, which is saying something because I only have a few animes that I'm positive are in my top 10. Heck, this might even be my favorite anime (although it would take many hours of sitting in silence and debating the pros and cons of every anime I've seen).

I watched episode one. The only positive I have is that the animation is really really good. I'm a big fan of weird things, but this is just boring.
