Review of La storia della Arcana Famiglia
Im not the type to write reviewsomething but this show is a doozy. Its original in its initial premise, the art is good, it's short and it has unique character motives apon watching the preliminary plot layers but as you can see from the aggregate score something is amiss. Well it turns out its actually a very very very conventional reverse harem at its core once you mentally shred away some pretty wrapping paper. What really hurt me was it took me so long to realize that. I did not take the time to find out pre-watch that it was based off a visual novel.Everything else wrong about it is rooted in that. It weaves a shit ton of semi-explored subplots(as is the case with most harem type shows) Also as you would imagine (as is the case with most of these harem type shows) it drives the plot on getting finality in its conclusion only to leave the viewer with something left to be desired. This show is a show that disguises itself as your action/fight-to-be-the-strongest variety of show to gradually reveal itself to be a gimme-attention-from-multiple-members-of-the-opposite-sex category show. It is however one of a kind in that they managed like 5 filler episodes in a 12 episode series. Sad really... The premise aka the first episode could have lead to a very good anime unfortunately I don't think that's what the producers of this poor thing werected trying to do. Matter of fact I'm not sure what they were trying to do. If anyone knows, can you tell me what is the target demographic of such a series?
