Review of Arakawa Under the Bridge

Oh What Could Have Been! Just my rotten luck that the last 2 animes that I've watched have started out strong and with great stories to only fall short of any real goal or even plot. At first this anime grabs you and makes you enjoy the characters and spends a decent amount of effort with characterization. Then as you go along it really falls flat on its face. The last episode contains 3 characters you never met (maybe once?) but are just tossed into the episode haphazardly and with no real reason to do so. The art was very good and I enjoyed the musictoo.

Enjoyments was there for the first 1/2 of the series but then dried up and completely vanished for the last episode. I actually fell asleep, during the day, watching the last one - just to get through it.

So it's "okay" to watch if you're looking to relax and not really get too involved with a story - but don't get your hopes up for anything really great.
