For some reason Sakura Mamiya gets drawn into quite a lot of his odd jobs - and that doesn't just mean giving him the money he needs for shinigami tools.Įven as an anime it is still a bit prone to getting a little dull, it's very episodic, very monster-of-the-week, but it's fine for some harmless entertainment after a long day at work. Rinne is homeless and really poor, his circumstances and background get revealed bit by bit. It takes her no time to find out that new classmate Rinne is no ordinary boy, though she doesn't quite know what he means when he says he's somewhat a shinigami (you know, like in Bleach and Death Note) and also somewhat human. Sakura Mamiya is a high school girl who can see ghosts. When I saw there's an anime I was curious and decided to try it. It's not bad, but it wasn't good enough to justify the money and shelf space. Takahashis Ranma ½ was my first anime, so started buying the Kyoukai no Rinne manga, too. If you see art from Kyoukai no Rinne you will probably recognize it: it's obviously Rumiko Takahashi. And I kind of missed the banter between Daryun and Narsus compared to the 2015 version. Suffering most from this are definitely the characters and their relationships, for example between Arslan and Daryun. The humour isn't as evident and it's not as dramatic. The issue of slaves is hardly touched upon, which makes it more black-and-white. Later on in the series, this really became a problem for me. The characters aren't introduced as well as in the newer version and I think I might not have understood what was going on if I hadn't had the more detailed explanations. Plot-wise it's unfortunately a lot more rushed. Since it's already 20 years old, of course you shouldn't expect high-quality HD animation. The art is very nostalgic, Art Nouveau-ish, it reminds me of The Last Unicorn a little. I think I also liked Daryuns character design a little better. Falangies looks more beautiful in my opinion, and she has some Xena vibe going on. It's still occasionally bloody, but as expected it's not as gory.

This series has six episodes that were produced between 19. I'm not sure I'll take it up again.Īfter getting sick of the gore and tits from the 2015 version, I thought I might try the 90s version. I was really disappointed about that.Īfter episode 6 I got so sick of all the violence that I dropped it. The Queen wears unbefitting clothes that show half of her tits and there's another female character who wears such ridiculous clothing that calling her half-naked would be an understatement. Like reverse harem animes tend to have their incredibly dull and stupid so-called "heroine", it seems that shounen anime has an equal inability to portray good female characters. Well, that is to say: I like the male characters. I quite like the characters, especially the friendship between Daryun and Narsus.

Similar to Akatsuki no Yona and Saiunkoku Monogatari it covers political issues as well. So the story is already rather "old" and it seems there have been a few adaptaions already. Together with loyal legendary warrior Daryun he tries to survive and seeks allies.Īrslan Senki is based upon a popular novel series that started back in the late 80s. When a neighbouring country of religious fanatics attacks, pride and treason lead to a great defeat in battle.

But after finishing Akatsuki no Yona I felt like something similar and so took it up again. First revies of two animes from the current Spring 2015 season (plus an alternative version to one), then there's two older ones set in the Heian period (794 to 1185).Īt first I dropped this one after I watched the first episode because I was afraid it would be too bloody.
