Review of Land of the Lustrous
wow.like damn,this is really good. I can't say anything else than this,like, i'm wordless. Welcome to the review of the 5th anime i've given 10/10 out of 115 animes i've watched..wait,why are you even here? are you unsure about watching this? are you thinking this is not your type? are you bored? are you hesitating to start an anime,or especially this? well shit,i got a news for ya pal- This is a must-watch for every anime enjoyed out there.People say famous animes like Attack on titan,Naruto,One Piece,Death Note,Stein's gate,Full Metal Alchemist,Sword art online,Tokyo Ghoul,Jujutsu Kaisen etc etc are all must watch animes, but if you ask fora must watch anime that is NOT being watched as much as the famous ones, then Land of the Lustrous is the most underrated masterpiece(not using in vain,i mean it) you must watch.
Story- 9/10
Instead of explaining why i gave that 9 points,it will be much easier to explain why i reduced one. This season ends with a new beginning- meaning the real story doesn't even start until the end, and you will finish the series with extreme amount of curiosity and excitement to what will the answers for your questions.So I wish they could answered a little more of my and many of us questions in the last episode.
Other than that, Land of the Lustrous has the most beautiful,depthful,breathtakingly innovative and fresh,intriguing concept with an enjoyable pace you might have ever seen.Basically this anime was carried by its theme and concept.
Art-10/10
CGI. This is not the normal animation and art, it's full and full CGI so some people might find it uncomfortable.AT THE BEGINNING-but there won't be any problem because as the episodes progresses you will get used to it and take a liking to it. Usage of CGI was an excellent choice since the visuals for this story needed much more animative works.
Sound-9/10
Opening and Ending were very differently sounding melodies,not my type yet it was soothing. I don't have much experience in criticizing sound effects and score, but neither did i notice it properly in this anime- that's how much i was immersed into the story.9 is the least i can give to sound and music.
Character-10/10
Oh boy,this anime will show you what true character development means.I'm not gonna spoil anything.
There were so many characters a.k.a. Gems, some weren't that memorable, but it was nice to see each character's uniqueness shown by it's color and strength and abilities- the ironic thing was that our protagonist, Phos, didn't have any such strength or abilities.he was the youngest and laziest and childish, yet he made us love him.And he becomes even better character as story progresses on.I believe a show is good if it has a good number of likeable characters excluding the protagonist; and Land of the Lustrous gave so many memorable characters that were hilarious to watch, sad to feel their emotions, and hence,likeable.I honestly had characters i liked almost as much as Phos which is a big Win.
Enjoyed it.Now stop reading this crap and got watch it ASAP.
