Review of Mikagura School Suite
Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku or its english title known as, 'Mikagura School Suite'. I found it surprising that it got Dub. Which when comparing the two I found the Dub all the more appealing and easier to follow. Just seem to take a slower pace. As someone who has never seen or watched Vocaloid Shorts it's hard to say, but I just happened stumbled upon this show with no expectations whatsoever. Gomenasai like always but minor spoilers. Story: 3 Our protagonist is, Eruna. Right off it's shown that she's trying to decide which High School she wants to attend. Eventually deciding on 'Mikagura Private School' do to thewonderful assistance of her cousin Shigure and her hormones when she see a picture of Seisa. Without a doubt Eruna is infatuated by Seisa looks and is the main reason she attends. Seems like an ordinary school premise but many things unfold and it's more than just a ordinary school it's 'Magical School'.
In order to ever succeed and have 'Splendid' School Lifestyle, one must join a Club! That's the main focus of anime, it'll other events come into place. Such as tournament to get everyone club on notice or even beginning a club of your own.
Art & Sound: 4 | 2
The animation, when you have backgrounds characters that are a solid color white color, then you know there's something wrong. That in my opinion was a terrible misstep forward towards the show and made it all the more displeasure to watch. Furthermore, some characters have absurd designs. If I had to call out one it would have to be, Kyoma having paint markings on his face and clothings. Sure it shows that he's apart of the 'Painting Club' doesn't stop it from being ridiculous though. When it comes to fight scenes they were splendid well done, the only major drops in animation quality was towards the ending of the anime.
Sound, nothing worthwhile or amazing. The Opening and Ending Themes were dull and just for temporary showing nothing memorizing. The only that was just above average was EP.12 Opening and Ending Themes.
Characters: 3
Eurena is one of the most Universal Generic frustrating characters I've seen in awhile. She's a degenerate pervert the most irritating character archetype. It shouldn't be the lead character by any standards in my opinion. Much less when trying to incorporate all these types of genres at once. Furthermore, she has ‘Magical Powers' making he overpowered with few train scenes and by luck. I just finding unjustifying a character of her stature is one of the strongest club holders. Her main appeal is the more annoying one, and it’s her being the pervert she is.
Now as for Seisa she's more level headed and serious with a decent reason on why she create a club known as the 'Going Home Club'. Although she has the least amount of screentime compared to everyone else, she's the shows driving force behind Eruna to committing the actions she commits.
No one else deserves to be even mentioned. I couldn't even recall their names. There were too many characters with too little to no screen time. Some obviously having more important roles than others and more screen time but nothing worthwhile mentioning.
Enjoyment: 1
I hated this show half through episode one when she arrived at the school. I winced in agony knowing the type of anime it was going to be. I found myself tapping my leg against the ground waiting and wanting for the episode to come to a finish.
Final Thoughts/Overall: 1
Everyone has different taste. I however, found this anime is so unbelievably generic having all those annoying tropes I despise and hate. It was more than an agonizing pain to get through. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone being that it won’t even leave an impression on you. It’s one of those anime that just appears during the season and people forget about sooner rather than later.
