Finalllly finished

Finally I have finished watching Tokyo Majin and I must say that it was quite the interesting anime. Apparently I haven't watched many dark animes because my friend informed me that it wasn't that dark. (Oh well, it is to me) I got really invested in the characters as they developed, even though you can tell this is an anime not written like many others. It takes a while to get into character development and the story line throws you for a loop sometimes. Overall the story is great and I would love to see more, however that is the problem: the orchestration. The beginning of the anime has its' audience throw into a plot line, kind of like Haruhi Suzumiya, but then comes back to explain a few things. However some of the story is a bit too detailed for the audience to keep up with; but hell who needs to know all the details when you can just watch the anime for what it is? Indeed you can, but you will miss some things. Again, I do like this anime, it is just frustrating how it ended on such a cliff-hanging moment with no promise of a second season. Sure you could read the mangas, but once I get into the habit of watching something, that is what I want to do: watch it. 


Basically the main characters fight to protect the people from the demons the people possess within themselves. It is this struggle of a darker side within us all, but this is going off the overall value of the anime and not just looking at it piece by piece. From there the characters form into a little team with the mysterious transfer student as their leader that we practically know nothing about until the second act, but even then his actions are still a bit mysterious to comprehend. The second act deals with protecting the city against one man who has somehow survived generation after generation interrupting the dragon stream which affects them all and will bring about this massive destruction upon the city but yeah; maybe I didn't may much attention to all the details of this. Then it ends on the lovely note that the city has been brought to rubble, the four guardians within the group (which was expanded) can barely handle the power they are bestowed to either fall ill, die, or  like the main guy (transfer student Tatsuya) follow the villain to China to stop him. And that is it. They don't actually say if he is okay or not. They don't have a follow-up episode or anything. That is what I didn't like about the series itself; the ambiguity. 


However it is beautifully drawn; it is also a horror/action anime with a bit of comedy on the side. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, but if that is your thing then feel free to give it a try, it is only 26 episodes. 


Next up: possibly Black Butler. Although I've been watching a few episodes of it and I can't seem to get a feel for it. I will watch a little more before I give up on it though. 


I need to get a life. Nah, I like this one :) 
Until next time...
