Venus to Mamoru! · review
One of the best romantic comedies in a sense. This is a very enjoyable series and has a bit of "magic" thrown in. From the start, Mamoru is kind of an ackward piece of anime, but gets much better the longer you watch it. Like the others that have written reviews already, this definitely belongs near the top of this category. The story brings out the best of the characters in my eyes. The show doesn't stick straight to the oncoming disasters ahead, nor does it just show straight comedy with an added bit of romance. It gradually lets the characters grow and become a forceto be reckoned with. haha. The ending is good, but could have been a little better in my eyes. Although, I can't really think of a way to change it to make it any better.
The artwork is pretty good. It wouldn't be at the same level as a Key animation but the anime keeps the "kawaii feel" while showing the awesome-ness of a magic (beatrice) anime.
The sound for the anime is decent and doesn't ruin the anime in the least, but it has little to be desired for. The only exeception that I liked from this anime is the music that is played during the different points of "showing off their skill with beatrice." The artwork becomes good at these points too, so be careful not to miss either part.
I'm not really good at conclusions, but this anime is a fun watch and is the masterpiece that isn't in the spot light. I only found it by chance! It is and isn't your typical romantic comedy in many ways, but I'm sure you'll understand that statement as you watch it!!!
