I Shall Never Return · review
This isn't an anime I'll be recommending any time soon. PLOT (3/10) The plot was extremely predictable, despite the summary being promising. Also, the girl seemed to have been thrown in last minute. She didn't really add anything to the story, and neither did the fact that one of the guys sold his body for a living. ART (7/10) The art wasn't bad, considering how old it is, but the downside of that is that even the best copy of the anime (I downloaded it from aarinfantasy) is in a really low quality. SOUND (6/10) The music is exactly what you'd expect from an old anime: a few repetitive notes fordifferent moments. It could've been worse, though.
CHARACTER (5/10)
Like I said, the female character was rather useless, and the male leads were really nothing special. I really didn't care if they ended up together or not, I just wanted to see how the girl would react when she found out that her boyfriend was having an affair with his best friend. Poor girl, she had no hope in hell of getting that guy, and she didn't even know it!
If you're looking for a story with likable characters who you can root for, skip this. Hell, even if all you're looking for is fluff or smut, this isn't for you. The relationship between the two guys isn't cute at all, and although there is implied sex, nothing is shown and there's only mild nudity.
I'll only recommend this to those who are looking for a good laugh.
