I wish I could be objective about anime shows, but unfortunately, I’m about as biased as they come. It’s not so much that I see a show about loli schoolgirls or Key adaptations or harems and then refuse to watch the show; it’s kind of more like the opposite. I’ll watch a lot of things rather idly, but when it comes to the things that I really like, my buttons are pressed like whoa and it’s hard for me to see through the haze. I’m not really even sure what exactly these red flags are– it can be something really stupid, like how my impressions of Night Wizard are completely colored by the fact that the last episode found my button for fake memories and sacrifice and pounded on it.
Which is why when I tell you guys that Kurenai is the most amazing show ever, take it with a grain of salt. Everything about Kurenai, from the voice acting to the dialogue to the music, attacks my most basic loves in anime.
(Sorry, guys. My screencapping technology failed me for this episode. You’ll have to forgive my lack of pictures.)
