#SHIGURUI MANGA ENDING TV#
If you’re going to do a TV series, which is a visual medium last time I checked, you should at least let us SEE IT.
#SHIGURUI MANGA ENDING SERIES#
I may as well have been watching this series blind. I mean dark as in, there is so little light I can’t see anything. Shigurui is so fucking dark, half the time you have no goddamn idea what is going on. Apparently, sunlight had not yet arrived in Japan by this time in history. The brightness darkness level is totally on a WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING level. I guess it does fit the series, after all if you are going to have a boring show you might as well accompany it with boring music. On the other hand, there are very few exciting things happening, so a rousing score would seem out of place. A more rousing score would have gone a long way in keeping the audience awake. Other times the background is filled only with ambient noise, while people blather on about nonsense, or just stare each other down. The music is hardly there, and many scenes drag on and on without music. Two other serious problems with this series are the music and the brightness levels. And it only took a minute to read through all those sentences instead of wasting 6 hours suffering through that boring shit like I did. You’ve just experienced every episode of Shigurui. …quickly cut to a “To Be Continued” screen, roll credits.Suggest that something interesting is about to happen….Cut to next scene of adversaries staring each other down for about 10 minutes.Cut to next scene of someone lusting over a girl and wanting to rape her (hold camera on rapist’s juicy, flailing tongue for way too long).Fade to next scene of samurai plotting something evil for about 10 minutes.Opening scene shows someone singing a children’s song.Shigurui is 500 times more boring than that other piece of shit. It’s like punishment for me saying that Moribito was boring. How can you do anything but laugh when you are presented with a 13 year old boy’s idea of “cool shit” in an otherwise ANIME IS SERIOUS BUSINESS series?Īnyway, getting back to what I was talking about earlier, the major problem with the series is the pacing. I frequently found myself laughing out loud at the inanity of this series when it would take itself so goddamn seriously and then do stupid shit.įor example, there is a scene where some dude cut off a lady’s nipple, chopped it in four pieces with his ZOMG SO AWESOME ELITE NINJA SKILLZ, and then played around with it on his tongue for like 20 minutes, slobbering everywhere with rivers of drool. This attitude really works against the series. Apparently, humor had not yet arrived in Japan by this time in history.
#SHIGURUI MANGA ENDING CRACK#
No one dares crack a smile, not even once everyone is deadly serious. How are we supposed to take the show seriously when the two main characters act like idiots?Īnd yes, we are meant to take the show seriously. A modern day equivalent would be a frat-boy with a popped coller. Unfortunately, both assholes pick “cool” stances, and end up looking like retards. I don’t know anything about sword fighting, but I do know that whoever picked the “cool” stance would likely end up dead, while the person who picked the practical one would win. For example, the entire first episode was two opponents staring each other down while they take up comically stupid fighting stances. There was no need to get the thing all fat and bloated and drag it out so much. The story could have been told in half that amount, or even as a single film. Spreading the tale over 12 episodes allowed the animators to tell the story with plenty of breathing room. However, the plodding pace and lethargic narrative absolutely kill any chance the series had of being interesting. Telling the story in four sentences makes it sound totally awesome. The guy who got butthurt ultimately decides to return for revenge. There is deceit and betrayal, and someone emerges victorious while the other sulks away with hurt feelings. It features two promising young samurai who struggle to become the next heir of an elite Japanese clan of sword fighters. The story takes place in feudal Japan, and is told almost entirely in an extended flashback. If a series like Shigurui was able to sap all the fun out of great stuff like sex and violence, then what hope is there for it to be good? Oh sure, it did have hardcore violence, nudity, rape, and misogyny but the execution was piss-poor. Unfortunately, what I actually found myself watching was anything but awesome. Even the title Shigurui – Death Frenzy, made me super pumped to watch it.

Reading a few synopses told me it had all the stuff I love: hardcore violence, nudity, rape, hardcore violence, misogyny, and hardcore violence. At first glance I thought I would have loved Shigurui.
