HANASAKERU SEISHOUNEN ANIME REVIEW


 

HANASAKERU SEISHOUNEN ANIME REVIEW
-ITSUKI NATSUMI
(JANUARY 30 2018)


OVERALL: 9

PLOT: 10/10

I'm trying to find a reverse harem anime when I've come to find this one. I love this kind of genre so I tried watching it. At first, I thought that this was a typical one, which all the guys battle for the girl's attention. The story starts when Kajika made a deal to find the candidates picked by his father to be his husband. Though I think it is one of the cliché way of reverse harem, the story goes on a different way. Since the narration takes place on the business industry, it avoids any inappropriate or common scenario you ought to see in any reverse harem. The twist is somewhat predictable, but still, it gives me goosebumps. It still made me cry. It not only tackles the love side, it also show how the business world acts and do the work. It also show friendship and compassion a person can give to someone.  One last thing, the series show how people disagree in something even though they have same belief. The way they execute something will be totally different even though they want the same outcome. I think, that is the biggest key on why this series became interesting.

CHARACTER: 9/10

The main protagonist "Kajika" is too persistent. I don't know if there is a true person out there who is like her. She is too carefree of her surrounding. She decides immediately without thinking. She follows his heart and most often, she lacks awareness. Well, yeah. She's a 14-16 years old. She was born an elite. She don't know the struggle one average person must bear. But she is also caring, thoughtful and a kind one. Though Kajika reflects immatureness, I think it was intended in order for the other characters to show their mature side. In order for them to show the humanness in the series. Each of the character has their own unique traits and beliefs. Each of them successfully show and express their love to Kajika in different ways. They have their weakness and that's what make them humane. They change since they met Kajika and they change for the better. 

SOUND AND ANIMATION: 8/10

The animation is quite old. There are times that the faces or the expression of the character is somewhat not attractive to watch. But when it does, it is really good that I almost have 100 screenshots of this series. It slightly reminds me of the anime Akatsuki No Yona. The voices of the character, most of it are fine. While the other characters, you will feel like it is too stoic. In line with the songs of the series, I really love the opening song. The feeling of it is it was the best song for this anime. Something like that. It is not OA. It is too relaxing to listen to. 

ENJOYMENT: 8/10

Yes, the story is great. The character is amazing. And I really did enjoy watching it. Maybe for me, the 39 episodes of this series is just slightly too much? I think it is too long for a romance series and if they want, they can lower it down to 20 plus episodes or exactly 30. Apart from that, it is a great watch. 

ENDING: 10/10

What will you expect in a love story anime?  Of course, that the protagonists and that someone will end up together. And they did. After all the struggles, they did. All the characters went on their rightful places, happy with their life and blessed that they are still living. That's the most common ending on this kind of genre. But hey, I think most of us wanted it, really. I also want a happy ending. Thus, I'm satisfied with how this one ends.

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI When you thought that the story ends after the Winter Cup Tournament, this movie turns out to be the final phase of the story. Well, basketball does not end in one's country. After winning the game, there is no doubt that another player, much more talented, much more better, will go your way. During the movie, American Basketball Team, famous in the field of Basketball visited Japan. A point where all of the members of the Generations of Miracles, along with Kuroko and Kagami, will have to fight them comes. It is a very interesting and exciting movie since it will be the first time showing how they play as a real team. How they realize that there are players who can match up on their level, who can take them head on, that will trigger them to do more than what they are doing. And to depend on their teammates because basketball is a five player game and not one. Well, Kuroko did made them realize that fact. What I find k...

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI 1. Movie 1 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Kage to Hikari 2. Movie 2 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Namida no Saki e 3. Movie 3 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Tobira no Mukou Movie one, two, and three is a summarize version of Season one, two, and three. Though unlike the Season one series where it tackles first the plays Seirin made in order to participate in the Winter Cup and Season 2 moving on to the tournament itself, the Movies focuses on the Winter Cup alone and show only a bit of introduction from the Season one series. The movies consist of the highlights and the outplays Team Seirin did in order to defeat every team with a Generation of Miracles member. It is a waste not to watch them but I decided not to. Not because it will be a waste of time but I know that watching it will make my memory jumble. Since I've watched each episodes of all three seasons, I already know how the story goes. But apart from that fact, every bit of extras, no...
