Overview: (Anime
News Network)
Shuji
and Chise are two Hokkaido high school students barely starting a relationship
with each other. Then, with no warning, a squadron of bombers from an unknown
country destroy the city of Sapporo. All hope is lost when suddenly, the
bombers are destroyed by a small red light floating across the sky. At
this point, Shuji finds out that the one responsible for eliminating the
enemy forces is Chise, who reveals herself as a cyborg engineered for mass-destruction. |
Review:
I don't
think I have ever seen a relationship this awkwardly bad. Not for
the fact that Chise is a weapon, but I just don't fell it between these
two. Maybe the reationship gets better, I hope. Also it is
just me or is everyone seem like they are always blushing? Every
ones seemes to have these red lines on thier cheeks all the time.
Maybe they're drunk?
I get
that there is some sort of war going on, which is why the students are
confined to what they can do and where they go. But, I would like
to know who Japan is fighting. Is it too much much to ask for
a short 60 second lead-in like Gundam or Macross? Just tell us who
is fighting and why. I think that would be nice.
As for
Chise being the "Ultimate Weapon" could there be anyworse choice
the smallest, weakest girl (it seems) in the who high school and this is
who is turned into a weapon? Was she made like this or was she altered?
Maybe I may someday see more of this to find out these questions, but not
anytime soon. |
