Review of Ikebukuro West Gate Park
Look, I know this isn't one of the most well liked animes out there and maybe its just me but I really enjoyed the limited storyline and quick story that Ikebukuro West Gate Park provided us with. Yes, I do admit there is a lot, and I mean a LOT of 'filler' episodes for this 12 episode anime but I think that we the community are looking at this anime through a wrong scope. Instead of judging it based on our conventional, 'is this good bc of the storyline/art/enjoyment/sound...' we should be looking at it like how we look at classical art: What does the directorwant us to see in this?
Personally, I feel that if you looks at this anime through a more artsy lens and try to find and theorise deeper meanings of this anime, we can come back with a different (and hopefully) more positive review.
Side Note:
I love Takashi Ando, best character in the anime :)
