Togainu no Chi (TV)
>> Wednesday, 13 October 2010
So, Togainu no Chi has been released as an anime. Rumour has is that there is no yaoi in it...which, I guess, won't detract too much from the storyline. But this was one of the last scenes in the OP:
Noo, that's not yaoi at all. ( ' o')~The first episode was somewhat unremarkable. It was pretty much a condensed form of the beginning of the game up until Akira sets foot in Toshima.
A couple of things to note though, were that Motomi didn't appear in the OP (at least, I didn't notice him), and Shiki appears. It surprised me that they'd introduce him in the very first episode, even before Rin...
True to the game, however, Keisuke is still a sniveling Akira fanboy, and Akira still only says 'tsu' or '...'. He has yet to say 'hanase' though, but I look forward to it. It seems to be his favourite line. XD
Watching Aki beat ugly men to a bloody pulp makes Kei jizz in his pants.Yeah it doesn't take much to figure out that I really don't like Keisuke at all. He's too much of a pushover...and by the looks of the first ep, I don't think my opinion is subject to change any time soon. Although...I couldn't stand Rin at first but now I think he's kinda cool after completing his story...could be the lol-I'm-related-to-Shiki thing...
But Keisuke is such a DUMBASS. I really don't like him...
Hmm, conspicuous-looking footprints all over the floor. Nope, I think I'll ignore those today.
I wonder how long Kei intended to wait there for Aki. A week? A month, maybe? By then Aki would have been ass-raped by a million Igura players already.Another point I'd like to make is that the art is quite terrible. Perhaps it's an A-1 thing. I mean, Kuroshitsuji II was pretty heinous... I am disappoint. Take a look at these:
No detail on anything that isn't a closeup of the characters' faces. This pisses me off like nothing at all. I haven't noticed it this bad in any other series besides K2 (which happens to be done by A-1 too...coincidence?)
Why does Aki look like he's wearing a wig? Maybe this is a stunt double? 8D
They gave Emma a breast augmentation (I swear she's gone up a cup size) to appeal to a wider audience. And they made calm, serious Gwen look like a raging homosexual. And not in a good way. (And are those tusks??)
Ah well, at least they get points for highly original character design. Oh, wait...But there's more! The Toshima fight scene was actually enjoyable, up until Shiki appeared. I thought I would go fangirl-mad when he made his appearance, but no. The entire scene was laughable.
Why does Shiki look like a FISH?
This guy just bled his entire blood volume out from his face. They really like their realism.
The blood from this handful of thugs alone could satisfy a blood bank for a year. Somebody please tell this studio that blood doesn't just gush out like water from a fire hydrant.
And the part that really takes the cake. I think this was supposed to be a tense, dramatic scene, but it was just cheesy and tacky and I spent the entire time laughing.
Someone needs to make a gif of this. Right now.
Ep 2 has just been put up. Sad as it is, I will probably watch the series anyway, for the characters and for the hope that it may turn out half decent (K2 was half decent - but of course that means that it was half shit too).
*fingers crossed*
