42 years of independence. Long way to go..
Watched D gray man and Melody of oblivion on arts central yesterday. A wee bit dissapointing. Yes, i'm glad that whoever's in charge is not showing inuyasha or repeating any anime but.... Oh well, what was i expecting anyway? =l
Before watching the episodes on tv, i was wondering why i never gave melody of oblivion a try. Other than the weird graphics, i knew nothing about the plot/music. *inserts horrified expression here* Look at the main (male) character
Never in my life will i call that a bishie, even though Bocca (his name) looks feminine. This is a pretty decent picture of bocca, he looked worse yesterday.
Let me do a comparison. This is zatch bell.
There wasn't much action, but a little too much chest exposure, (not to mention the horribly long advertisement breaks) and ecchiness. Weird gaps here and there. One moment you see bocca and that girl character staring out of a window, the next moment he's battling a monster which appeared out of thin air. It was too abrupt =(
Good thing was that the opening and ending songs were great. Especially the ending song Tenohira no Hikari, by minawo. LOVE IT!! XD The ending graphics were cool, with sound waves and there was a special feel when accompanied by the song.
Now i know why Melody of oblivion was never on my anime watch list. Must have seen it some where and blacklisted it unknowingly.
