timepiececlockWhat is it this time?
Naruto.
Why do you like it?
I have no idea. Except yes, I do. But it can't be put into words you see.
What is so particularly cool about it then?
Well... it has the best (and loveliest) end-credit sequence I've ever seen in an anime series before. And the fight music is kick-ass. Like the music in Kill Bill is kick-ass.
That's it? End credits and some score?
NO! No. It's....
Nope, I can't explain it. Except that it went from funny to dramatic as fast as a Trigun episode can. And it was surprising! I don't get really really surprised by a plot turn in anime near enough, so when it happens it's like finding a soul mate. I have to hold tight to it and glomp it and snuggle it with love.
Is there anything you *don't* like?
Sure. There's a few flaws. And the character designs are a little too Digimon / FLCL for me. And really this isn't even the normal kind of storyline I enjoy in anime.
But... you don't understand. There's so much more to love than there is not to love. You have to see it. I defy anyone to watch this show and not find something to like about it.

Date: 2004-01-18 02:48 am (UTC)As soon as it finishes loading (in 15 minutes, maybe? Probably less) I'm going to post two sized versions of just the end credit sequence, if you want to download them separately. I think they're very pretty, and I'd icon them if I could just figure out how to make screencaps from MediaPlayer or RealPlayer.
