Michael's First Impressions: Fall 2014 (Part 5)
Hi-sCool! Seha Girls: pretty entertaining for an 11 minute anime about anthropomorphic SEGA game consoles. And it automatically gets bonus points for having the SEGA Genesis (Mega Drive in the show) represented. They effectively work in subtle humor alluding to various aspects of the different consoles represented. But the CGI animation might not be pleasant for a number of watchers. It does look and feel more like an online web series than a studio anime. All in all, the show has creativity and a good sense of humor. Verdict: GIVE IT A SHOT
Parasyte -the maxim-: not bad. While plenty grotesque and gory it won’t leave its viewers feeling disturbed as some other horror anime I’ve seen. Though the final 20 seconds are utterly deplorable. But I’ll have to get into that in another article. The biggest problem this show faces is the lack of any true horror. It’s more grotesque than horrifying. But it is only the first episode and there’s PLENTY of potential for some truly disturbing imagery and narrative. Verdict: GIVE IT A SHOT
