Review of Reikenzan: Hoshikuzu-tachi no Utage

Let me start with: If you like comedy, read further on, if you don't like comedy, just search for another anime. Story: 6. Storywise, this anime isn't that great. It has the typical storyline of a main 'hero' who is special in some way and quite OP and who shows everyone else that he's not just a loser. The story is quite clichéd but I do give the show some credits for keeping the difficult explanations of everything at a fast and understandable pace without getting too much into detail but in a way you can still kind of understand everything. Art: 9. Here I have tostart with the art of the OP and ED which I somehow really noticed and really liked. Afterwards let's talk about the art in the anime itself...I think it was great. Normal scenes had nice and clean drawings but what really made me love the art (and in fact the whole anime) was how it switched from a normal perspective to the funny chibi scenes and other comedic stuff. I guess like 60 percent of the anime are held in the comedic style or has comedy scenes which makes the whole anime a really funny one and gives the clichéd story a fresh note.

Sound: 8. The OP and ED were quite nice, although I think that the ED gave a whole different feel (maybe it was the art and less the song) to the anime or it was as if the ED was for a different anime...still I liked it very much.

Character: 10. This is probably the one reason why I watched it til the end. Some of the characters may be clichéd and nothing new but with all these characters mixed together it's just a comedy party and there will be moments when you cannot stop laughing. Also I think it is quite amazing that they managed to give me a feeling of "I know this character pretty well" even if you don't really know anything about some of the characters. I think that is an amazing thing to achieve.

Enjoyment: 8. Like I said very funny, although there were some scenes where I wished they would have done something differently or highlighted something more.

Overall: Great for some fun time and I'm very curious for the 2nd season.

Also, I have never ever seen an anime with THAT many time skips...(in a good way, not in a bad way)
