Inuyasha with less romance.
Series in more sentences:
A young soldier from the far past reawakens in current time, right when Earth is being attacked by the same alien robots that were also present in his time. He battles these machines together with the below-average schoolgirl who released him, who happens to look exactly like the princess he'd sworn to protect 450 years ago.
Kuromukuro was released to our Netflix yesterday.
And I finished watching it yesterday.
I feel unfulfilled.
Stop uploading these painfully short anime snippets, Netflix.
But it's not Netflix' or the show's fault, I'm just so used to animes rushing their plots and their character relationships; I expected the two main characters to have made out by now. But by anime standards, they don't share the screen all that often. In fact, the guy has more touching scenes with the 9 year old sister. That's no gud.
But you know what, a slow build-up is admirable and fairly realistic, and it's not really what made me itch; but the fact I got to see so little of the guy's experiences with modern life. I was more interested in seeing how this old-timey teenager acted in today's world than the "epic" fights against the giant robots. But his days off are always these short scenes, and every other scene plays off in the laboratory or in the aliens' meeting room. I try really hard to care for what they say and do, but, you know, there are no jokes in those scenes.
But the show has characters and writing that make you keep watching, and there are some really, really funny jokes, I had grand gigglesnorts.
Having that said, I think the whole first season is the build-up. It has to be, the show is still too tame, it doesn't quite yet give you want you want to see.
I'm curious to see what the next season will bring.
