Taboo Tattoo

So I am going to be a bit more strict than the reviewer SonGokussj and say not only that the editing is bad, but that the choice of some of the shots, where the camera pointed, is quite strange in places. The animation is incredibly static at times. The opening part in the school, for example, did not appeal to me. There were single shots of characters talking and moving quite minimally. As an interesting counterpoint, the animation when the fights occur is quite action-packed. These are quite well-executed, and the close combat using martial arts looked pretty good although that was not so much the case with the movement of the characters at other times. I also did not find the art style particularly sophisticated, more like quite poor. Another shortcoming is the unnaturally shoved-in fan service. Some of the storylines ended with this "service to the audience" and were completely stupid (see the fifth episode and the ping pong). On the whole, as far as the narrative is concerned, it is also quite crap. The different factions are clear about what they want; some want to be the strongest and rule the world, others want to wage war on everyone, defeat everyone and rule the world, and the main male protagonist Akatsuka Justice - well, he just wants world peace. It is full of such stupid tropes, like the speeches of many of the beauty queen pageant finalists. Plus, the characters are acting kind of weird and unnatural, too. It just does not feel like it came together as a whole, and about the only time it was watchable was when there were fight scenes. However, I noticed some weaknesses and small details that spoiled the impression I got of the show'. (When Akatsuka Justice is hit several times with a sword, there is blood all around and under him, so how is it possible that a moment later, when he throws a "power-up," his shirt is suddenly clean? It is magic!) So I am sorry, however, like SonGokussj, I am not going to watch more than five episodes. 2/10. (2016.07.05)
