Moon Phase

This show is cute! I loved it when I watched it!

Hey. I was watching the English dub version. Now everybody sounds different.

There are slices of brilliance in here that are just plagued by annoying quirks and repeated jokes. This show tries so hard to be cute it turns out to be anything but. Cat ears unnecessarily overdone. Falling pans. . . unnecessarily overdone. Forced sexual tension (c'mon there's nothing else you could possibly call that). . . unnecessarily overdone. Seeing a pattern? Right out of the gate you get hit with the theme song, which in all honesty made me want to punt puppies across the room it was so squeaky and annoying, i couldn't wait for that first commercial. The main character does NOT really have cat ears! sure the first couple times u see em its a cute gimmick, but quickly becomes irritating when they're forced on shrines, mountains, houses, clouds, and well. . . pretty much everything. The shinigami was initially a fun character you had to question and added a layer of mystery. That is until they changed it to an overactive midget-elf with a lisp. Aside from the forced femininity there is actually some substance and funny moments. Cast members are definitely unique, and abilities (albeit sparsely used) were fun to watch and made me want to finish the series. As said by the great Sgt. Keroro "It's amazing how his love for his girlfriend turns him into a giant flaming rainbow". If you have a daughter you would like to introduce to anime this is a pretty good show to start with. however if you're expecting an epic you'll only find mediocrity.
