Review of Amnesia
Have you ever woken up remembering nothing of your past-- not even your name? This is what happened to our heroine. She woke up one morning remembering not even her life, her relationships, her very nameāall gone. Isn't it thrilling to know what happened to her? "What was that all about?" first popped out in my head. All she had was her cellphone with contacts she can't remember who and Orion, a young boy that only she can see. The first episode would really leave you hanging. "Why doesn't the girl remember anything?" "Can Orion really be trusted?" This anime doesn't focus much on the romance, butmore on the mysteries in the surroundings of the heroine and her memory loss.
"Amnesia" is a 12 Episode series (23 minutes per episode). Full of mystery and will make you watch for more.
The heroine was kinda stiff. She can't even voice out what's on her mind. Also, her voice might be annoying to some. She barely talks at all. And when she does, it's usually single words or sound effects that express her doubt and confusion. Since she can't remember anything-- and she's on a journey to find out who she is, the anime doesn't really give any solid qualities of her.
The characteristics of the heroes were much of a cliche.
There's this bad guy, the extremely-popular guy, the overly smart guy, the social and outgoing guy, and the mysterious guy.
Their pasts weren't highlighted. But I think that's what the author wants. Their "mysteries" is what drives the watchers, what drove me, to watch the next episodes and to finish it ,or so I thought. But until the very end of the anime, I was still puzzled of who they really are and what's their connection with the heroine. Nothing much was stable.
"Amnesia" is an anime that'll filled you with mysteries and will keep you watching until the very end.
But I still hated it how all things were explained in the last 2 episodes of the anime. It came all at ones. So you have to keep still and watch the 10 episodes and find out everything at the last 2. I kind of feel that the ending was sort of rushed-- very rushed (it got me a little bit disappointed) , though I was still expecting for more, all in all.. the anime was great. As for the romance, since Amnesia is a Reverse Harem, the heroine had her chances to be with the guys.
I really salute the artist. The characters were perfectly drawn, very good-looking indeed! Aside from the plot, I was really hooked of how the characters look like. The details were really astonishing! Their clothes are very detailed, their bodies are well proportioned, and their eyes were really interesting. I really love it-- beautiful and smooth. Even the surroundings were great.
There wasn't much of a comedy. Most of the scenes/ episodes were dead serious. But still, like I've said before, the mysteries will keep you hanging-- seriously.
You'll probably like "Amnesia" if:
1. You like Reverse Harem 2. You like attractive males 3. You like Romantic scenes (there were kissing scenes)
"Amnesia". An anime that'll keep you thinking. Its mysteries will keep you going.
