GRIM REAPER CARTOON SERIES
Unfortunately, the visual aspect of this series is a major letdown. They're also handed the duties of singing a duet for the OP, which is pretty solid, and they sing during the show as well, with a duet of The Owl and the Pussycat between the two late in the season being a highlight scene. It's funny and just generally enjoyable to see the different combinations of characters interacting while trying to break the main character's curse.Īudio/Visual: Good voice acting work all around, especially from Bocchan and Alice's VAs. There is very little here that could be described as dark or serious, and the series doesn't dwell on the few parts that are. nature of the curse, this is first and foremost a lighthearted romantic comedy. He is joined only by his maid, childhood friend and love interest Alice, as well as his elderly one-eyed butler Rob. His mother has banished him to a separate estate and told him he will be disinherited if he is unable to break the curse by spring. Story: The main story follows the titular Bocchan, the eldest son of a powerful noble family, who has been cursed to kill any living thing he touches. I highly recommend reading the manga, but I would not bother with the anime. Recommendation: A low-quality adaptation of very good source material.
To be honest I enjoyed it way more than I thought I will and as I've said in the beginning I do wish they will get a bigger budget to improve the quality somewhat, because it's quite clear that they could do a better job with the proper tools. I wonder of course if they might go dark by the end of the story itself, but so far I expect it to go the way it already is - a kind romantic story which should end in an obvious way with likeable characters involved in it. Several of the musical episodes of the show were tastefully done and had a nice chemistry between characters. Main star of the show is of course Alice, who is just sweet and playful and her VA sounds appropriate to her character, she is fun to follow. I feel like with the ideas they brought, there will be some interesting plot line developments going on during season 2. I really enjoyed the kind-hearted nature of the show which at first makes it obviously unsettling for the whole reason of MC being capable to destroy anything living by touch, and it develops characters and their relationships quite nicely with an appropriate cliffhanger by the end of And that would be my only real negative thing to say about the show really.
At first I was skeptical of CG used to make the show but eventually it really didn't matter much and with the budget they had, they did a very good job of using it properly not to show the imperfections it would otherwise bring.
