Karandi reviews and discusses anime.
Say It With Senryuu This is going to be a short review, which makes sense given the nature of the anime being reviewed. Senryuu Shoujo is about Nanako, a high school girl who doesn’t speak but communicates by writing poems. Instead of being a story about a lonely girl who is bullied, this is the … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Anime Review
An Adorable End For An Adorable Show Senryuu Shoujo Episode 12 A cute and delightful end to a cute and delightful show. Senryuu Shoujo remains an adorable entertainment this season in the most calm and relaxing manner and episode 12 showcased the best of what it had to offer with a flashback of Nanako and … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 12
I don't usually directly compare two anime, largely because each anime needs to be viewed on its own merit. Whether the story is similar or a character follows a comparable arc, if an anime is enjoyable in its own right, let it be enjoyable. From that point of view, I'm not going to argue that … Continue reading Why I’m Enjoying Senryuu Shoujo More Than Hitoribocchi This Spring Anime Season
Fireworks and Festivals Senryuu Shoujo Episode 11 They are very keen on this summer theme and this week we are hitting the festival with a firework display in Senryuu Shoujo. I do have to wonder if these last few episodes haven’t just been Haruhi Suzumiya’s endless eight spread out over more episodes and not repeated. … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 11
Ghosts and Fireflies Senryuu Shoujo Episode 10 We’re sticking with the summer vacation theme this week but here we hit the super cute button as the characters make a plan to go to watch real fireflies. Of course the club president isn’t happy just to let it rest with that and makes alternate plans that … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 10
Eiji's Day Out Senryuu Shoujo Episode 9 Instead of following Nanako, this week we follow Eiji as he goes about a typical day while on Summer vacation in Senryuu Shoujo. Admittedly, I don’t think most of us start a typical day by dropping our phone in ramen and then run into literally everyone we know … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 9
The Obligatory Swimsuit Episode Episode 8 Another standard plot development for Senryuu Shoujo as we move into Summer and of course that means the girls need to go shopping for swimsuits. There’s not a lot more to the episode as the president takes Nanako, the girl who communicates through drawing, and the psychic to a … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 8
Cute Umbrella Sharing Moment Episode 7 We are back to super cute this week with Senryuu Shoujo as we get a standard girl wants to share umbrella with guy plot. Fortunately the story begins and ends with this set-up and the middle section is a fairly cute mission to build a rabbit hutch. This episode … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 7
Leader of the non-rebellion. Episode 6 There’s definitely something seriously wrong with Nanako’s family, particularly her father. I mean, I get he’s playing the overprotective daddy trope but how on earth could you reach the conclusion that Nanako is rebelling. And why is that his biggest issue with his daughter when she never actually speaks. … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 6
Cute nonsense without substance. Fortune telling girl could have been cool. Could have been... Episode 5 The art girl is already old news and doesn’t actually appear in the episode at all. Instead, the senpai from their club directs Nanako and Eiji to a psychic who can apparently make accurate predictions. I mean someone who … Continue reading Senryuu Shoujo Review Episode 5
