Kaiji’s fate will be determined by—oh, shit, wrong anime.
To continue my Madhouse Studios fanboyism, I will attempt to blog this show and will give summaries, reviews, and commentary about this series.
Rating: N/A (I need subs, I lose)
It’s set in a 1940s-esque world (unlike our own since they use a written language that doesn’t look like anything we know) and two nations are at war. Our heroes are Allison, a spunky fighter pilot, and her sidekick Wilhelm.
This will just be my first impressions of the show.
The OP and ED are both good. Both are slow songs and they seem to fit in with a show like this (it’s supposed to be a shounen/romance/adventure). Fansubbers rejoice: the OP and ED already come with Japanese subtitles.
OP screens:
The character designs look alright to me, as they mostly resemble the stuff from the light novels. A palette of vivid colors is used here; the green of the grass and trees really stands out and the lighting effects during scenes at sunset were really good, too. Then again, this is a series premiere, where extra attention is generally paid to the art and other details. Let’s hope things stay consistent.
Allison displays varying facial expressions
I’m going to need subs to figure out what else happened…
