watched this show last evening. i was told reviews of the show rated this a 5-popcorn show. frankly, i don't understand how it can be rated 5-popcorns. i would perhaps give it a 2-popcorn rating only.
anyway, trust the japanese to produce such a show - an over-the-top production that you cannot really appreciate unless you have some background about the anime series. you see, usually, we have production where cartoons/ anime imitates real life human world. but for this production, it was humans acting out a anime series. and so, we end up having a show where people behaved like anime characters - lotsa exaggerated actions, people shout at each other as they talk, punch and slap each other like as though it was the most natural thing to do, wore awkward-looking costumes that came across as trying too hard, slapstick jokes/ scenes, and so on...
initially, i thought it was interesting, refreshing and somewhat funny. but when it kept going on and on and on, i started to feel somewhat irritated. it was hard to keep up with the show especially when i watched it after midnight. but well, after convincing myself that this is supposed to imitate an anime, the expectations dropped and i simply just enjoy the show for what it was. and of cos, just ogle at the few good-looking actors in the show.
2 popcorns. for the effort and the novelty.
