Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari · review
Let’s start this off with by saying I’m making this as spoiler free as I can, so might be a bit vague~ That being said✨ The main character is okay, I don’t love him and I don’t hate him~ and would lean towards more of enjoyment. He is “cringe” but I think that’s on purpose, and I feel there is a very natural build in character development. This isn’t a anime that I expect to blow anyone out of the water, but I watched both seasons in a single sitting~ so it’s enjoyable enough to binge. I feel like the issues that comeup with the main character also helps explains some of the “cringe”, lots of elements of trust and understanding wrapped into this anime from episode one; I still don’t think it will make anyone sob.
I find it enjoyable, and not offensive~ animation could definitely be improved; but I’m not comparing this other high budget studios like MAPPA~ The fights and some little details do hit the nail on the head tho. 7/10 due to me not having to many complaints about the show itself, and not finding anything particularly annoying. -3 points because there’s nothing to original here, and the animation doesn’t always hold up. Aswell as it not grabbing a special place in my heart~ BUT THATS OKAY. Not all anime has too!!
I hope you enjoy if you give this one a watch!!
Stay happy and healthy!!
