First Impression: The Skull Man

Filed under: First Impressions


Ugh. Trying to lure me with a cool name and with a cool picture. Most of the time of this episode, I was just merely annoyed. No, don’t get me wrong. It can be really interesting with the skull man and that he just kills people for some reasons, and I really liked the monologue of what he was saying, but I have two problems with this anime:

First of all: The art. I do not like it. In fact, I find the art even ugly. The designs aren’t worked out well, and it just annoyed me of how weird all the characters were looking. The art for the background is a little better.

Second, and my major problem: The girl. She annoyed me. Really, annoyed me. I mean, the word "coincidence" has a proper fit here. She is just placing her will on other people and involves everything in what she does, and she walks over peoples boundaries. She thinks that she is a fantastic cameraman and that’s why she hired herself to our main character, who is trying to find the truth behind the Skull Man. But she just needs him, and she is completely dependent of him. Because with him she can enter the city. Without she can’t. Furthermore she is so dominant that she has no manner of politeness or hospitality. Because the maincharacter was just curious about her fake passport, she is so angry that she throws him out of his OWN house. And just add the naked bath scene. How horrible can you be to throw someone out of THEIR houses when they take care of you? Currently I’m believing that she has to be on her monthtly period and that in a couple of episodes she will turn out good. That is what I’m believing, and hoping. I give this garbage one more chance. But the girl definetely needs something done, because I’m really annoyed by this annoying arrogant girl.

But furthermore, the plot is really nice and I like the story. My main problem is just that girl.

Venus Versus Virus 7

Filed under: Venus Versus Virus



This episode: seeing Lucia suffer because her mother is killed on Lucias birthday by a crazy son of a bitch that voluntary changed himself into a virus and is her father at the same time, Lola and that other girl are finally explained and a totally flashback that explains everything of what’s important to know for the climax.

Oh no. Finally had some hope high, but this episode made it really worse again, but still. I had to laugh because of it because they have explained a really important plot twist so easily. Look, I will explain it to you. Nakahashi or something like that was with Luchia’s mother and father disciples of a great mage, but he passed away because of old age. Well. That can happen. But there is more! Apperantly, some land far, far away, the True World exist. And don’t let it be the same place that Luchia is seeing in her dreams, because that would be really stupid. A True World with nothing in it, that would be a true world. But let we ignore that for a moment, shall we? This True World can be obtained by the Fragments of people. To get a fragment, you’ll have to kill them and then take that little stone. Well. Luchia’s mother apperantly had a really, really good nice fragment and Luchia’s father was a son of a bitch and went away for a year and leaving his pregnant wife behind. Also, Luchia’s father had also that nice flashlight Eye, so we already know of who Luchia had that nice Eye thingey. Anyway, that father went away for a year and when he came back Luchia succeeded in becoming two years on 7 July so I’m a bit curious about how on earth she did that. That day was her birthday and there was a chocolate cake and she was really looking forward to it. But. Her father changed in a virus that wants to go to the True World because this world is rotten and stuff like that. The funny thing is that we have never got an example in what way and view this world has become rotten so it was a bit weird to hear that. Anyway. Rotten papa killed his own wife in front of his daughter, took her fragment and thought that he would succeed in leaving this world. Yay! But wait, o no! The fragment dissapeared and was reborn again. And the father left, leaving a traumitized daughter behind that is cursed because she is born out of a virus.

But let’s think for a bit. This episode showed that Luchia and Sumire are born on the same day. But. Luchia is older, because she is no longer in high school. Because this anime is really stupid, we can conclude that Sumire has thé fragment and that Luchia will save her most likely from her death and killing her stupid father. An other argument is that Sumire did pick up that stupid broach, and that was a broach that would lead people together. Because Rotten Papa and mother are supposed to have one soul. Luchia has inherited that soul, and Sumire is in fact the reincarnation of Luchias mama. So… Nice situation, right?^^ It is a bit stupid to reveal such an major plot twist like this so I had to laugh about that one.

A few other notes:  For soulless figures, they sure know how to eat candy, don’t they? That Lola and that other one. Also I find it a bit ironic to name a girl who is picked on because she had the flashlight Eye Luchia, which ironically means "Light". Poor girl.  And of course it’s ironic because Luchias mama did forecast that papa would come back. But only to kill his own wife..
