HIIRO NO KAKERA SEASON 2 ANIME REVIEW
-YOSHIKO NAKAMURA
(APRIL 04 2018)
OVERALL: 4.8
PLOT: 5/10
Historical Anime is one of my favorite genres. It is interesting and the strategies of war is great. The action is hooking and the historical figures is kinda fun to know. This anime continue the journey of a girl in becoming the Tamayori Princess along with his guardians. Plot wise, the twist is predictable and vice versa but it became more interesting than the previous season. Maybe because the loopholes has been answered this season. Commonly, the protagonist always struggle to obtain a power that can protect his loved ones and this series show it. I don't really play the game of it but I think that it is much better to play this one than watching it. Even though this series contains too many episodes, it failed to capture the heart of mine. Every episode seems too long for me to bear. Don't get me wrong, I finished the series since I've already started it. I don't want to drop an anime, whatever it is.
CHARACTER: 3/10
Most of the characters in an anime have a way on expressing themselves. It is what get through the heart of the one who is watching them. Though the character in this series have different traits, it seems that they lack something that can successfully penetrate my heart. It's as if they are NPC's. They say wonderful words but you know they're just acting, something like that. And apart from that, it is so irritating to watch them as they struggle to get stronger but they themselves don't do anything to get stronger. They just leaned on the Tamayori Princess and Fate and their Hope until the end. Same with the Tamayori Princess who I don't know how the earth did she obtain such power by hoping it to come. This characters are completely useless, in my opinion.
SOUND & ANIMATION: 9/10
The expression of the characters seems lacking of focus and feelings. Most of the time, the characters seemed to be looking at you but not really looking, if you know what I mean. The animation is great, yes. It consists of many handsome characters and that's why I've watched it. But the voice of some of the characters seems to be out of place. With regards in the series songs, I really really really love it and it is already in my playlist. If the characters expression seem to be lacking, the feelings I've get when listening to their songs is truly overwhelming. It is full of emotion and sadness.
EXCITEMENT: 3/10
Despite loving the songs, every episode to watch is a struggle for me. I can't remember the exact date but I think, I've watched this anime for about 2 months? Coz I will stop at the next episode for a long time after finishing one. It's quite boring for me and I've glad that I've finished it already. Maybe the last 2 to 3 episodes is what I get excited about since I'm closing in and the secret has been discovered. Though, it's kinda cliché.
ENDING: 4/10
In the end, the good wins as usual. They became powerful in the end, fighting a so called God and ended up winning. Then, the protagonists decided to take the Tamayori Princess role to protect the shrine not mainly because she is a responsible person who thinks about the other people's situation but because his other one is in that place, waiting for her. Well, is that also cliché? She's just being honest.
