Kurenai is the best show of the season, hands down. It’s a great story with fun characters that play very well off of each other, and it’s not like it really has much competition. I love Geass and all, and Kanokon is pretty hot (though it’s starting to become the utter crap I expected it to be), and Macross is really entertaining too, but you know what they don’t have?
They don’t have Murasaki and Shinkuro.
Easily my favorite duo since Baccano’s Isaac and Miria (Which is why it is important to note that Brain’s Base, the studio behind Kurenai, also did Baccano and Kamichu, and are therefore partially responsible for bringing to life some of the best characters in anime), Murasaki and Shinkuro’s relationship is hilarious and adorable. Mainly adorable, but that’s just Murasaki. She’s like a dream come true. Er, moving on. It doesn’t stop there, as the entire cast is uniquely wonderful. There hasn’t been a dull moment, or any time when I felt that a certain scene or character was unnecessary. What little action there has been involved Shinkuro just going to town on people (steel is his bawdy!), and it’s a lot of fun to watch. Everything meshes together perfectly and
Oh my god. I’m trying not to derail myself here, but wow. I feel so dirty right now. I certainly wont deny that I think Murasaki is cute, but I’d really like to talk more about what makes the series great, so
OH MY GOD. SERIOUSLY, I CAN’T STOP MYSELF
Why did my nose just start bleeding?
I like how one of your “related posts” for this entry is “Pentagon Bomb Squad Chief Looks Back”.
Murasaki <3
He’s looking back over his shoulder for Chris Hansen :V
Kurenai is the best, being so unique and nicely stylish and subtle… Murasaki is adorable also XD
