Mekakucity Actors Review

Ok so as I said in my previous entry the first few minutes of this anime confused me but that was because I hadn't really read through the plot properly... whoops. Once I got into it through I really started to enjoy it.
If you're just looking for a feel good romp with basic character's I wouldn't look to this one. Although the synopsis may suggest that its just another fantasy anime with supernaturally inclined teenagers... that isn't exactly the case. The farther I got through this anime the darker it got, some of the characters I knew became almost unrecognisable due to revelations of their pasts and new plot twists and the feeling the anime had given me in the beginning had become almost sinister.
Rant over! Basically it was an anime that I enjoyed watching but the ending left me with quite a few questions that I don't think will be answered in a 2nd season.

Review Dilema

OK so I've come to realise that doing an episode by episode review without spoilers is basically impossible.... or at the very least kinda pointless. The further on in the series I got (yeah I binged watched it last night) the more I realised that it would probably just be the same things repeated over and over again. SOOOOO.... I'm just gonna do it in a one-er. (Please ignore my awful spelling and grammar)
The reason I was determined to do an episode by episode review in the beginning was because with some anime I loose interest with the plot halfway through and give up. Oh well I guess in the future when I'm reviewing an anime I might do a first impressions piece then an official review.
Alright thanks for putting up with my ramblings Ill get back to reviewing now. Cheers.

Mekakucity Actors Episodes 1-2 Review

Alright so I am currently watching the anime Mekakucity Actors and since I have some free time at work I'll probably be doing an on going review of the series. As of yet (11/09/16) I have seen 2 episodes..... yeah reality interrupted in the form of needing to get to work. *Pouts

 Synopsis:   On the hot summer day of August 14, Shintarou Kisaragi is forced leave his room for the first time in two years. While arguing with the cyber girl Ene who lives in his computer, Shintarou Kisaragi accidentally spills soda all over his keyboard. Though they try to find a replacement online, most stores are closed due to the Obon festival, leaving them with no other choice but to visit the local department store. Venturing outside makes Shintarou extremely anxious, but the thought of living without his computer is even worse. It's just his luck that on the day he finally goes out, he's caught in a terrifying hostage situation.

Luckily, a group of teenagers with mysterious eye powers, who call themselves the "Mekakushi Dan," assist Shintarou in resolving the situation. As a result, he is forced to join their group, along with Ene. Their abilities seem to be like pieces of a puzzle, connecting one another, and as each member's past is unveiled, the secret that ties them together is slowly brought to light. (MyAnimeList.Com)

Episode One:
Alright so episode one is usually the make or break point for me. I know that some anime takes at least a couple of to get into the swing of things, but I'm sorry if the first episode doesn't capture my attention and interests me, then I'm not continuing with the series.
Mikakucity Actors' first episode nearly lost my interest within the first couple of seconds but that was mainly just me being confused, having not really read through the plot properly... oops my bad.
Thankfully though I stuck with it as it got really interesting. The first line of the synopsis basically describes everything in this episode, what it doesn't describe though the craziness of the "Mekakushi Dan" members though.  I wont go into details and spoil it for you but I am loving these characters so far. The ending left me with questions and wanting more.

Episode Two:
Episode two disappointed me as it didn't answer my questions that Episode One left me with, however by doing so they've managed to maintain my interest.
This episode does not revolve around the supposed main character Shintarou Kisaragi but instead opts to introduce a new character entirely and shows their introduction to the Mekakushi Dan (though I suppose at only episode two it isn't difficult to bring in someone you've not seen before).
I have to say though despite the name "Mekakushi Dan" being mentioned in the synopsis, it hasn't actually been mentioned in the anime itself yet. Eh I suppose that's just me getting ahead of myself though.

Stay Tuned for more....
