Eyeshield 21 Episode

Shelf Life Settlers of Canaan

Amidst the chaos, I also managed to watch anime for Shelf Life.

I haven't reviewed a .

At first, the plot is like a good Hollywood action blockbuster with a sci-fi twist; a hapless magazine reporter looking for a scoop ends up embroiled in a terrorist plot involving biological weapons. The reporter's partner, a ditzy photographer with some amnesia (I usually hate amnesiac characters, but I didn't hate her), happens to be friends with Can aan, a genetically altered synesthete and one-girl army, who is trying to take the terrorists out. It's quite the scoop, so much so that a large crime organization starts trying to kill them.

The “science” in this anime is, let's just say, questionable. Synesthesia is a real condition where one's senses get crossed; synesthetes sometimes feel colors and see smells. I'm not sure if actual synesthetes would feel offended or empowered by this show, where synesthesia gives Can seems like a damn good suspense series. And then it starts to break down. The characters go on a silk road trip (they've still got my attention) and end up in an abandoned science lab in the desert for most of the rest of the show.

You know what's expensive in animation? Cityscapes and crowd scenes. You know what's cheap? Doing close-ups of a small number of characters in identical hallways. This show falls apart in the second half, which is too bad. Nevertheless, I'll give it a Shelf Worthy since I gave X the TV series a Shelf Worthy for a great first half. I'd still recommend this show, with the added suggestion that you don't have to finish watching it if you never get around to it. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater; I'll re-watch the first seven episodes someday.

The I reviewed season one of Junjō Romantica a while back, and I am much less enamored of this show in season two. I'm also starting to second guess myself. Was this show really ever Shelf Worthy? I do like the colorful box with a nice booklet and the fully translated credits, but…

I've heard it said that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
