Recently, I've searched and watched several anime series adapted from Light Novels.
The story is about a cat alien who visits Earth, for the purpose of learning its cultures, and setting up diplomatic relations. But she gets into all sorts of troubles, targeted by various groups with different objectives.
I personally don't really like this series. It would have made more sense to me, if the cat aliens have some sort of device, such as their bells, that allowed them to speak the same language. Coincidentally having the exact same language of inhabitants of a different world, and coincidentally landing in Japan, is something ludicrous.
To be honest, it doesn't do very well in the respective genres. If you consider an Alien Sci-fi genre, there's nothing outstanding about it. Comedy-wise, there are some parts which are really funny, but it makes up only a small minority. If you consider it as one of those Japanese Harem genre that involves one guy many girls, it doesn't do particularly well either. As for Ecchi anime, well, there is some nudity inside, but again, not very much either. That being said, I don't really know which genre this can be classified as.
The end makes it seem like there's a continuation. But somehow, I'm not particularly looking forward to it.

I think stories like that are made just to be... Personally I think that "It would have made more sense to me, if the cat aliens have some sort of device, such as their bells, that allowed them to speak the same language." like you said. Every time I watched anime like this I was wondering why authors don't add things like this. But still I think I like manga better than anime even if it tell exactly the same story, and I don't know why :P
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I have little problem and I thought that you or maybe someone else would help me. Namely I'm writing some kind of essay about "combination of tradition and culture in contemporary Japanese literature" to get secondary school certificate. The problem is that I don't have enough materials like subject and object literature. So I'm asking - would you mind to help me find it?
"combination of tradition and culture in contemporary Japanese literature"? I gotta be honest with you. Just listening to the title itself makes me think, "Wtf?"
ReplyDeleteIt's not so bad like it sounds :P I just need Japanese book other than manga :D But in my country it's really hard to find it...

ReplyDeleteactualy they do use the bell in that manner. remember when she is captured and in the base she dose not understand the guy speaking english till she touches the bell.
Looks interesting tho. Thanks for posting about it! I'll check it out. ^_^

I dunno if you will be interested but Mangastream is looking for a translator for Skip Beat! They intend to pick it up and are looking for a translator now O.o
ReplyDeleteIt's not too bad, I think they do the cleaning and get the raws quick..
The only downside is that we have to wait for them to release it ( I dun think they allow you to release it here) (But they are quick in releasing..)
in reponse to gingike's comment:
