Review of Laughing Under the Clouds
Lame. In every possible way. It's a real struggle to find anything good about this anime : Action scenes are mediocre, somewhat barely enjoyable at their best. Rhythm is a disaster, especially since the comedy/bromance cut-scenes intervenes at the worst possible time, with not even an once of originality, and all predictable. Was the bromance even necessary to the story to begin with ... ? That could have been - at least - an effective bait, a trap to lure the young girls audience but when it's done that bad, I can only see it as a mockery, an insult to their intelligence. And the storyis not helping, of course. 3 to 4 episodes are enough to know where the whole thing is going (here's come the convenient monster... yay !).
Mostly, this anime goes down because it's cheap. Everything's cheap. There was no real effort to strenghten the good points (if any) and alleviate the weaknesses.
You can still watch this, nevertheless, if you're in need for a way to spend some time. But there's no way you will remember Donten ni Warau as an unforgettable anime.
