Review of Katanagatari

The lessons learned every after episodes, the promises were all rejected and the sweetness we were forced to believe as the series progresses was made bitter. 1 - 1 = 0. Zero lessons. though there is something that is gain from this, and that is hate, for the time wasted, for making fun of its viewers. This is deus ex machina. I searched the meaning for double checking and it is definitely this. If writers like rising up emotions to their books, stating them poetic or artistic, then sure. But if terribly done? Then surely, it can turn the sudden twist from a good review.I will not judge the book but the anime. The deus ex machina in it showed something unintelligible, I assume to garner action to its duel, for the kids I think, believing them better. less is more. They shouldn't have done that.

But what I'm so riled up about, again, refer to the first statement of the review.

== Story ==
It is episodic. One by one gathering swords. It was interesting and made me to continue. The lessons were real. But was spoiled, deceived, and wasted. I will spend a minute cursing the producers. The promises, sweetness.. gone. The dialogues are long, though quite intrigued by them most of the time, and for some, there were scenes where it should be appropriate to just say a word or two or none at all. If you aren't patient, this isn't for you. (I should have read some reviews, tsk, and maybe I could have been hinted and perhaps, I could have unmasked this terrible of a series.) The ending coalesce with the whole series, but the execution was rotten. There were more when there should be less. Action, promise, dialogue. and the lessons, was all undone.

== Art ==
realistic? unique? fitting? fluid? background? designs? character similar?
It doesn't possess the ordinary art that is usually portrayed in anime of today, and so I have to say it is unique. But I think it was most appropriate to the genre/story. The actions cannot be belittle. It was mind numbing. Fast and real-time.

== Sound ==
Musics enter in appropriate situations, though in my taste, too much. It is like frequent enough that you can guess when it's going to enter, and it is always bad when it comes to predictability. The voices was appropriate to the characters, the heroine for its perkiness, and the hero for its calmness and dependability. The opening and ending was golden. I couldn't say it was catching but it readies the viewers for the eventuality that is expectant of series, and the closing of curtain at the end of the episode.

== Character ==
I liked both the lead characters, the hero and the heroine but was ruined in the near unexpected... . Lessons learned, supposedly, promise stated, broken eventually. There is a narrator, an old woman I think, which is appropriate. the voice depicts a fragile sense, just like the fragility of life easily put out. Both are great at what they do. Ninjas are like clowns in their costumes and contrasts the seriousness of their scripts.

== Enjoyment ==
Overall, let down by the series. It felt lessons, all of it, were undone. Made me think it was no point. It's like letting a girl go to die in another place, or choosing between the life of your girlfriend and mother. I did not enjoy the series.

ps. If by chance of another me from an altered dimension visiting, and happens to read this review, do not, I repeat, do not watch this series.

burp!
