<\/a><\/p>\nShort Synopsis:<\/b> Cute girls doing cheerleading, and all the drama behind it.<\/p>\n
Mario:<\/b><\/span> There are so many strikes against Na Nare Hana Nare that I am surprised that it still holds up so well by the end of this premiere. It\u2019s about\u2026 cheerleading of all things. Its 3DCG performance scene is competent but distracting – it features one character who jumps across roofs and street lights like a ninja, and another character whose name is Anna Aveiro Nakamura dos Santos Moreira Cuccittini (no, I\u2019m not making that up). But somehow, it gets off on a strong foot. I reckon its biggest strength so far is that the cast has well-defined personalities – with distinct traits and flaws – and we can see plenty of room for conflicts to come. Take our main girl Kanata for instance. She must have felt responsible for her friend Megumi\u2019s injury. The show is in no hurry to explore these personal dramas though, instead letting the eccentric ones (and there are plenty in this episode) pull the string of the plot so far. It\u2019s to no surprise that the director \/ series composer is the same one that did last year\u2019s BanG Dream It\u2019s MyGO. And the background art, with their many shades of purple, look stunning as well. When our girl Kanata takes flight at the end of the episode, the show does too. Lenlo:<\/b><\/span> To be honest I\u2019m surprised Japan even knows what Cheerleading is, nonetheless participates in and hosts contests for it. It just feels so quintessentially American, maybe that\u2019s why they have it at all. Anyways, as a show Nare Hana<\/em> is fine? The CGI routines aren\u2019t terrible, and the continued inclusion of their injured friend as she recovers to rejoin the team was sweet. Really the biggest mark against it is that I just don\u2019t care about Cheerleading. It lacks that same competitive edge something like Volleyball has, and the girls themselves seem more concerned with their friendship and hanging out together than actually winning anything. If you\u2019re looking for a wholesome Cute Girls Doing Cute Things show but in cheerleading outfits, I imagine this will be right up your alley. Personally though, I can\u2019t say I care much. Short Synopsis:<\/b> A desperate streamer makes a pact with a vampire who wants to suck her blood.<\/p>\n Lenlo:<\/b><\/span> There\u2019s a surprising amount of YouTube\/Media focused anime this season. Where others seem to be about the video\/media creation process however, Mayonaka Punch<\/em> focuses more on the drama inherent in running a channel and how audience reaction can affect a performer. Honestly, it\u2019s not a terrible idea. Before the horny vampire bullshit, Mayonaka<\/em> was surprisingly compelling. The fallout of a YouTuber group, the anxiety from reading comments, the fear about her future. I was interested, I wanted to see how she would overcome it, how she would reinvent herself, and what kicked off their fight to begin with! Instead it shifted to a bunch of shitty jokes around a house of worthless vampires, one a loli the other a horny mess. Maybe you can find some fun there, anytime Mayonaka focuses on its actual protagonist it isn\u2019t bad. But the vampires are unnecessary and just ruin the whole thing. Mario:<\/b><\/span> There\u2019s something to be said about our current obsession with stardom and hate posts. Many real-life up-and-coming stars, especially in Korea and Japan, have committed suicide due to the pressure of so-called \u201csocial disapproval\u201d from the internet. Mayonaka Punch works best when the main character Masaki experiences that same rejection, both from the people she doesn\u2019t know and the ones who used to be her best friends. The way she\u2019s obsessed with hit counts and every online comment and her anxiety over her ex-bandmates\u2019 interview are dark and raw in a good way. Ditto the sober moment later in the episode where Masaki attempts to repeat the group\u2019s first viral hit by visiting an abandoned hospital just to find that she\u2019s completely alone. It\u2019s just too bad that the show also thinks it\u2019s a good idea to frame these moments as a comedy instead of drama (the interview sessions, for example). In addition, the \u201cvampire\u201d part sucks up all of that message, and the vampire girl sadly only functions as a character who has the hots for our female lead, in more ways than one. As a result it is hard to stay invested in these characters and their relationship thus far. Also, vampires cannot be captured by a camera lens, now can they? Get your facts checked. Short Synopsis:<\/b> Twin girls angst over their feelings for the same guy.<\/p>\n Wooper:<\/b><\/span> Summer 2024 really is the season of taboos, huh? First we had a guy falling in love with a robot, then the setup for a stepsibling romance, and now we\u2019ve got a love triangle with identical sisters involved. The plot of Love Is Indivisible by Twins (the show\u2019s strained English title) surely syncs up with the fantasies of a lot of young men out there: two girls with slightly different personalities and interests, both equally beautiful, and both equally in love with you. How will the main character ever choose between them?! In case you\u2019re interested in the answer to that question, there are a few unfortunate hiccups in Koi wa Futago\u2019s presentation that you\u2019ll have to deal with as you watch, the biggest of which is the show\u2019s brightness. The majority of characters and backgrounds in this premiere had an uncomfortable softness to them, as though the lighting were constantly overpowering them. This effect wasn\u2019t reserved only for childhood flashbacks, either, though they comprised around half of the episode. Then there\u2019s the dull character designs and subpar animation – I don\u2019t expect every TV anime to excel in both of these categories, but you typically need either the first (so your series looks good in stills) or the second (so it looks good in motion), and Futago has neither. Writing the two halves of the episode from the different twins\u2019 POVs didn\u2019t convince me of the male lead\u2019s crushworthiness, either, so I have no desire to give them another shot at it. Lenlo:<\/b><\/span> Let\u2019s call this what it is, another wish-fulfillment romance with a nothingburger MC for weebs to project themselves onto while twins fall for him without him putting any actual effort into it. I can only assume as the series goes on we will get more embarrassing situations, some twin fan service, maybe even some drama as they both compete for the same boy, standard low-brow romance stuff. Personally though I won\u2019t be around to see it, because there are just better, more genuine romances airing this season.
