Kabukibu! · review
A simple and yet complex work of storytelling medium about the art of Kabuki from the Japanese culture. A story about following your dream and doing everything without any regrets later. The story at first glance it may seem generic , a high school student trying to make a kabuki club and recruiting members, but after a few episodes the anime starts to shine and reveal its main attraction which are the characters . The characters are what makes Kabuki-bu worth watching it. They are not simple or plain either not sophisticated or pretentious , their true nature is revealed on stage duringthe Kabukibu play. Don’t be fooled by the new concept this anime delivers for its viewers ,everything about the art of kabukibu is explained during those 12 episodes. To make it more attractive and interesting the anime tries new methods for its story deviating from the original Kabuki-bu and adding modern elements so that the viewers can understand what the characters actions and dialogue scenes are all about.
The anime presents his characters to its audience not through the generic and overused plot aspects (eating the bento on top of the roof school, forced romance , fanservice, changing locker accidents ) but with the help of the Kabuki-bu art. On stage during the play our characters reveal to us their inner struggles and ambitions , their dreams and how hard they work for what they enjoy doing.
A slice of life story told through the art of Kabuki-bu about spending your youth and doing what you truly want from the bottom of the heart without the usual melodrama, forced romance, fanservice just following the plot and story which is to reveal more about the art of Kabuki-bu in Japan.
