Kannazuki No Miko Ending Full Mp3
Overall8Story7Animation8Sound8Character8Enjoyment7In my opinion, Kannazuki no Miko could have been a real masterpiece, or at least something very close to that. Unfortunately, it has its bad(but it also depends on the viewer point of view) elements.The plot it's not one of the best ever written but it really has quality and potential, expecially if you are fascinated by japanese folklore. That's why I found it very intriguing, not particulary original tough.The best point about KnM is all about the way the part of the plot involving the main characters relationships is developed and their characterisation, expecially the one regarding Chikane. It's really intense how the animedepics in a delicate yet very strong way her personality, her feelings.

She's probably the best character in the whole work but the others are not bad at all, even if the antagonists seems to lack in something, they're not as interesting as they probably should be.The voice acting was pretty god in my opinion, it has really high moments, but, even if it sure has its ups and downs, it doesn't even come close to 'bad',never.Aother very good point in the show is the soundtrack. First of all, the opening and the ending theme are extraordinary and really suits the anime.

Overall the music and sounds that go along with this show are good too.Also, graphic in general, and character design are really, really good. The style is enjoyable, pretty but not too much, the colors are perfect. The animation on the other hand, are qualitatively instable. Some can really impress you, and some can even perplex you.There's just something that can bother someone while watching the show.I'm referring to the action scenes.
Not that there's something wrong with them of course, 'cause they should be there but.well, some kind of viewers could really find the Mecha scenes bothersome. Somehow It feels like they doesn't fit, that they aren't necessary for the show. They don't have the power to possess the same or at least a similar relevance and intensity that the character relationships have. It's like that for almost every mecha scene, excuding maybe just a few. It seems like they don't have a strong, real reason to be there, so they could be really annoying. Also, they're not really good, qualitatively speaking.So, in the end, if you're ok with mecha action, and of course, homosexuality doesn't bother you, just try this, 'cause Kannazuki no Miko really deserves it.Ps: Since English's not my motherlanguage, I truly hope i just wrote something understandable X°°D. Overall8Story7Animation7Sound8Character7Enjoyment9I don't even know why I liked this series.
It's another 'we have to save the world with giant robots' anime, with anime staples such as catgirls, bishounen, and panty shots, all spiced up with some blatant lesbianism. It's a joke in premise alone, but the follow-through makes it a surprisingly capable tale of forbidden love.As you can probably tell, I wasn't expecting anything overreaching with Kannazuki. I wasn't disappointed. The anime sticks to a giant robot battle formula for the first half with just the slightest hints about where Chikane and Himeko's budding relationship is going. Fortunately for viewers, a huge twist awaits andthe redemption goes full-throttle to the very end. So why sit through the first half? Chikane.Chikane is the center of this guilty pleasure.
Himeko, Souma, the bishounen priests and the Orochi are all dull as dishwater. Chikane is the ray of light that shines on this series for six episodes. Her inner turmoil between being Himeko's friend and her growing desire to be her lover are intriguing enough to warrant the rest of the crap the series throws at you. This is where they payoff comes though, as Chikane's personal anguish becomes the center of the story before long and thus Himeko's character becomes much more interesting. Everyone else though.
Yeah.The animation itself has its ups and downs. The sharp hard lines turn me off a little, but the flow and detail are all good. It's a solid production but nothing remarkable.The music has a subtle but distinct air to it, coming from the (personally) underrated composer Mina Kubota also responsible for the score of Kaleido Star.
The great BGM is sandwiched between a techno-flavored OP and a less dancy but equally energetic ED, both of which are sung by the prolific KOTOKO.I enjoyed this anime far, far more than I probably should have. It's melodrama will not be to everyone's tastes and a few will probably abandon ship somewhere in the ridiculous first half, but those that carry a flag for Chikane and Himeko or yuri anime in general will hardly be let down.Overall, Kannazuki no Miko gets a 8 out of 10. Overall7Story7Animation8Sound10Character8Enjoyment7My goodness, what an interesting show this was to watch. Had many good qualities and bad qualities and plenty of fan service. I can't say that I am disappointed in the slightest, especially with the great ending it had.Acting for the most part is quite mixed, decent and mediocre at the same time. Now Himeko's voice sounds a little spacey and a little scratchy at times as well.
Almost like the VA's is trying to do a high voice. While Jennifer Sekiguchi certainly makes for a lovable Himeko acting skills is something to be desired for her.
However her co-star Michelle Ruff does wonders withChikane. Ruff brings out Chikane's many characteristics in the best way.
The sweet as honey Chikane, the elegant Chikane even the dark and evil Chikane. Ruff once again proves her self to be a voice actress of many talents, and as I said before she did wonders with this character. The other cast is also fairly mixed, decent and mediocre at the same time.
With some notables such as Sandy Fox, Melissa Fahn, Kate Higgins, and others, they shine in their roles as the evil orochi. Steve Staley makes for a great Souma Ogami, who brings out the words of compassion for Himeko.The musical score was one of the finest scores for an Anime series of this genre that I have heard. With all the places it could have gone including ditching out altogether, it was refreshing to see a lovely score. However there were some minor problems with it. The cues were a tad predictable and like some of the dialog made it feel very melodramatic. But really that was the only flaw to it, so non the less it had a wonderful feeling to it.
The themes I think were somehow fitting. The opening was a very heavy techno-j-pop style and it just seemed to work. Overall my hat's off to Mina Kubota for writing a wonderful score.The animation and style was very beautiful in this. Dark tones and bright tones all mixed together splendidly. The giant robot to each character (with the exception of Miyako and Gorochi) are beyond wonderful. Chikane's eyes also stand out to me, they are like two deep pools full of thought.Overall this is a worthwhile series, so give it a shot.
Romance lovers, yuri lovers, you may just like this. As crazy as it is. Overall10Story10Animation10Sound10Character10Enjoyment10Kannaduki no Miko can be summarized as thus: Shoujo-Ai and Giant Mechas with bits of Japanese mythology thrown in the mix for good measure. It works better than it sounds, trust me on this. I watched the series in it's entirety in a span of about one week, and you know what I did the day after watching the last episode? Began watching it again from episode one.
That's how good this series is.My reasons for liking this series so much are by no means logical ones. From a cold, ruthless, objective point of view, Kannaduki no Miko is a mindless piece of drivel withexcessive fanservice, but I'm a sucker for sweet, heart-aching romantic stories, especially when the romance is between two persons of the female persuasion. The last episode makes me do the 'eyes like twin waterfalls' trick (often seen used by such anime characters as Pedro of Excel Saga and Maito Gai of Naruto) every time I watch it.The animation is, for the most part, average, but makes use of a couple of nifty tricks. The split-screen dialogue in the beginning of episode 2 always struck me as pretty cool, and the doors slamming closed in the last episode make me feel like I've been hit in the face with a bag full of anvils. The visuals are nothing out of the ordinary with the exception of the endings of the mecha battles, which are colourful to say the least. The actual fights are fluid and well-paced, if very short. People used to the multi-episode fights of animes like DBZ or Naruto might find it hard to adjust to battles that are usually over in 5 minutes or less.
But mechas fighting isn't what this anime is about, it's just there to give it some seasoning.Characters are quite often the most important part of any given story to me. While the characters of Kannaduki no Miko are not incredibly deep and multi-dimensional, nor do they go through light years worth of developement, they are all likeable and sympathetic, and that's enough for me. The three main characters are all fleshed out enough as far as their personalities go, but some questions about their past are left unanswered. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. Some of the supporting cast are left kinda unused, but I don't mind. There isn't enough room in 12 episodes to fully develope all of the characters, but I doubt if the series could have been longer (say, 26 episodes) without becoming unnecessarily drawn out.
There's a story, they can tell it in 12 episodes, no need to prolong it.The dialogue of the characters can be slightly cheesy and corny and other foodstuff-y, but on some level it manages to appear 'real'. Normal people don't come up with the perfect things to say, completely devoid of any cheese, in the middle of a conversation.
Offering to be someone's handkerchief might seem disturbing, yucky, even ridiculous, but it's definitely something one might come up with at the spur of the moment.The story is, as a whole, nothing new under the sun, but does contain one or two surprises (at least, it did for me, but most people seem to be better at anticipating future events than me). My knowledge of Japanese mythology is minimal, but a couple of names and events apparently have a basis in it, namely Orochi, the figurative eight-headed dragon and the main villain of the story (despite having only something like 2 or 3 lines). Every single detail of the story is not explained, like how the mechas can appear out of thin air, but I doubt if anybody could come up with a sensible explanation for that. They're, like, divine (or demonic) mechas.
They're probably organic, or spiritual, or something. Better leave it at that.I don't usually pay much attention to the soundtrack, unless it's really whatever is the aural counterpart of 'visible', like in Naruto, so I can't pass much judgement on the musical world of Kannaduki no Miko. But the opening and ending songs, Re-Sublimity and Agony, both performed by Kotoko, are pure awesomeness. And that's saying a lot, seeing as they're techno and I'm supposed to be a metalhead.(Notice: the next chapter might include some spoilers)So what is it, in the end, that makes Kannaduki no Miko worth 5 stars, ten points out of ten, in my eyes? It's the love story. I can't help it, if the story has two (or more!) female characters with deep feelings towards each other I'm glued to my seat.
Kannaduki no Miko, Maria-sama ga Miteru, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito. It's a guilty pleasure. But even if we were to remove the shoujo-ai aspect of the love story, I'd still like it. There's just something heart-warming about it.I don't ask much from an anime series. A heart-warming love story, likeable characters, with possibly some decent action and/or humour and/or philosophical ponderings, and I'm happy.
Kannaduki no Miko manages three outta five, two of them spectacularly, and that's enough for me to count it amongst my favourite animes ever. Now go watch it. Yes, even if you've watched it before. Overall8Story8Animation7Sound9Character7Enjoyment10This has to be one of the messiest anime I’ve ever seen. Starting in a traditional high school setting and then suddenly throwing in mecha-fied Shintoism, this manages to make itself yuri. And I guess it’s not supposed to make much sense, since all of the citizens in the town manage to go into denial about all supernatural happenings. Right.Despite this awkward first impression, I enjoyed it.:)The fanservice gets kind of annoying after a while, or in my case, within the first five minutes.
But if fanservice is what you want, then you won’t be disappointed. Otherwise, read on.The odd plotevolves at a pretty fast pace, so you won’t be bored. And at the very end, all of it is revealed to be a pretty tight plot, with a completely unpredictable and emotional ending. It really got to me. Good if you love twists.
Yes, it actually makes sense at the end. Logical sense, that is. Nothing will make it feel any less weird, but on the other hand, that makes it rather unique.The premise is pretty generic and boring at first. Same old save-the-world thing.
But what really moves the plot forward are the characters. Yes, I dare declare this a character-driven plot.So in that case, the characters must be great, right?
Unfortunately, half the cast is completely useless. The antagonist cast, that is. Aside from Tsubasa and Miyako (kinda), the Orochi are completely boring. Best I can say for them is that Girochi’s jacket and chains look cool on him. You also have this useless Yukihito guy hanging around at the temple, doing absolutely nothing besides accentuating Souma’s boringness. So how does this plot work?
With the main characters, of course. The antagonists are only present for the sake of having other mecha for Souma to bash. Himeko, Chikane, and Souma are the real focus of the anime. Souma means well, but he really doesn’t do much besides go with the flow, so let’s forget about him, okay?;) That leaves us with Chikane and Himeko. If you happen to immensely dislike the BOTH of them for whatever reason, I’m telling you right now, don’t even bother watching this show.
It doesn’t work unless you sympathize with the two. If you love them, then every other detail can easily be overlooked in the end.Animation’s pretty cool, although it oddly switches between hard lines and really smooth ones. Oh, and the mecha are shiny and really, REALLY cheesy, but that’s why they’re funny to watch. Background music is great and sets a good mood, but what I really gave the points for are the OP/ED.
“Re-sublimity” is awesome and I practically fell in love with “agony”. And the voice acting is superb all-around. The English dub made me cringe though (but Miyako’s awesome).
XDTrying my very best the write an unbiased review, but about the enjoyment – I absolutely LOVED it. The pace was great, even though it shed a lot of potential in further development of the Orochi and whatnot. It kept me hooked and absorbed throughout, and I was left stunned when it ended.I guess I’d recommend it to people who aren’t picky about their anime making sense and focus more on the raw emotion of a situation. XD Tragic romantics. Also anyone who just wants a change of pace from the usual stuff. Kannazuki is SPECIAL, and whether that’s good or bad is an individual thing.:P.
Overall3Story1Animation6Sound1Character1Enjoyment1First of all notice that the note is the result of what I enjoyed or not (mostly not) of this series. My analysis conforms my particular point of view, as is usual in such cases. It should be noted that we are only users of this and we entertain ourselves, (except some cases) we don't live in this industry. So like most this isn't a professional review but rather is a particular vision and you can feel free of that maybe you might get to like this series.It wasn't my case, I found it very ugly and I gift it a bit of qualification. Justfor little details that I liked, but I should put a 2.Design.Well, actually I saw the series to saw the design of mecha.
I reminded to the Dancougar Nova, and although this is not a great match, at least it's a sequel to a series impressive like Dancouga.I'm not, however, someone that remove points from the design of both the characters and the mechas, but if disturb me when a mecha is too stylized. This isn't the case and the designs are acceptable, nothing very special but acceptable.HistoryThe protagonist is a weak girl, scary, clumsy, distracted, not popular and that not trust in herself and she love a guy who's popular, good at sports. They have been known from children and they give many circumlocutions and with much romantic story. Nothing original, right?Perhaps it that gives a bit of originality is the seconds main character, the perfect girl, intelligent, excellent pianist, archer magnificent, beautiful, with big breasted, president of all student councils, who will have to deal between her love for another woman and her work as piece of the ritual, among other issues.Often, it can get boring, so romantic content with that strange triangle between lesbianism disguised (Chiaka), ignorance of almost everything that happens (Himeko) and also Souma breaking his fate for his love.
Yes, it's cheesy as it sounds.CharactersThere aren't characters pleasant (except Chikane), much less original. I have already described the mains and just say that the rest don't offers great variations neither, Miyako and Otoha are typical girls that love to their heads and become jealous because they are in love of someone else, the rest are mostly characters filler without much significance.PlotDevelopment begins showing a bit of school life to jump to the relationship between the two priestesses and how they come to be. Throughout this first part Oogami is not so relevant, even if he breaks your Oroshi's destination in battle, those battles are so short that is secundary and the friendship (lesbian or not, you judge) stands first episodes. Overall4Story2Animation8Sound6Character3Enjoyment2I never thought that I would ever rate any anime below a 5 (average) but this anime was obviously to me below average. As you might have noticed I have only watched 3 of the episodes of this anime series. The reason for that abrupt drop is that if I had to watch even 1 more episode I would have either laughed to death or shed tears of pain. The story starts off well with the creation of a love triangle centered around Himeko who is loved by both of the other main characters.
What completely throws this anime down hill iswhen the whole 'shrine maiden and mecha'(mostly mecha) comes into play. All of a sudden bad looking 'gundams' (hard to explain without spoiling) appear out of nowhere.
The male pilot makes a bunch of trite and obvious statements, does a lot of random and annoying yelling, uses horrible attack names(v1), and somehow gains immediate enlightenment to how he can and should use his powers.If you really like yuri anime and mecha then you will most likely like this anime. If you don't like either yuri and/or bad looking mecha then I suggest you stop reading these reviews and look for a better/more suitable anime because this anime is FULL of both (for yuri fans I suggest skipping the unneeded parts of mecha fights).In short this anime on the first episode started off healthy but then dropped dead over halfway through. Fortunately for yuri fans there are some strong slaps that might make you wake up but for those who aren't you might as well start digging a grave.(v1) (words backwards for no spoiler) 'gnilkraps.ralos.kcatta.evaw.of.evissam.niotcurtsed'(overall average 4.2). Overall8Story8Animation7Sound7Character8Enjoyment10Kannazuki no Miko is a show that demands apologists, but it's also sufficently vituous to have them at all. The somewhat intrusive mecha element, the fanservice (though it is.good. fanservice) and the badly developed and utilised villains are all present and accounted for, but the series has virtues that outshines its flaws.
The central love triangle is robust, with all three characters carefully balancing virtues and flaws while remaining likeable. It's also important to note that the fighting aspect of the show is vital to underpin the character development as it occurs, as frustrations in battle and love both drag Chikane down relentlessly duringthe first half of the series. The show evokes strong emotional responses provided you can buy into the action- Chikane's dilemma is well-executed and episode 8 a heartbreaker.
The pacing is generally very good, moving the story along at a fast pace, though it slides during an over-extended final episode.The animation is servicable, while the villain's cast is rescued by the brooding figure of Tsubasa, and to a lesser degree Miyako, with the rest providing tepid comic relief. However, they are all utilised to demonstrate the trajectory of the major characters, especially in the second half of the anime. The show is dominated by the main characters and this works well; the yuri is in a shounen vein, with high emotion, tragedy and compelling meldodrama to follow a slow, powerful build-up. It is this aspect of the show that forgives shortcomings elsewhere, and if you appreciate tormented and ambivalent love stories this series is well worth a look. Otherwise, there are more balanced shows elsewhere. Overall9Story8Animation7Sound9Character8Enjoyment10Great anime for anyone who likes actionpacked yuri. The show is gripping from the start, and the complex themes will leave you thinking for days.
Kannazuki no Miko is one of my favorite anime personally because it's straightforward yuri with no subtext, and Chikane's feelings for Himeko leave little to the imagination. The show deals with realistic emotions, in a realistically unaccepting world, as opposed to the strictly yuri relationships environment in Strawberry Panic.
I'd recommend Kannazuki no Miko for anyone 13+ but towards the middle of the series there is a brief rape scene, later referenced in the following episode.Regardless, I'd highly suggest finishing the series because by the last episode everything will be explained! Overall4Story1Animation9Sound9Character2Enjoyment2Being a fan of romance, especially Yuri and Yaoi when I can find a decent one, I had high expectations of this anime. Unfortunately this series did not live up to expectations at all - it was a bad series in general and apart from the things that I didn't even need to watch the series to see, I just did not enjoy this series.Story - 2Pretty much, the story is terrible. A 2/10 may sound a bit harsh, but the only reason I didn't give it a 1/10 is because at least other people got some enjoyment out of it. The story ispretty much random mecha battles that are all practically the same and fan service. If you came here looking for a romance, then you will want to look elsewhere.
If you want fanservice and enjoy any Yuri, even if it is obviously aimed at a teenage boy audience, then you might enjoy this.Art - 9While the series itself was pretty bad, I think the art was pretty good. It isn't enough to save this series, but I do enjoy looking at it. I'm not completely sure it is deserving of a 9, but that is what I'm giving it.Character - 2I guess the characters could be worse, but they are in general pretty bad. All the characters, including the main three, are just a bunch of stereotypes. None of the characters are unique in any way outside of their graphical design and some of the characters are downright annoying.Soundtrack - 9I'm a bit of a Kotoko fan, so maybe my opinion on this is a bit biased. Nonetheless, this series has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time and while I would suggest steering clear of the anime itself, I definitely think the soundtrack is worth checking out.Ending - 5Perhaps the only part of this series that seemed to have any thought put into it at all was the ending. I can't say it was good, but it wasn't as bad as the rest at least.Enjoyment - 2I enjoyed the soundtrack and the art wasn't bad to look at, and at least the ending was slightly interesting.
Other than that this is one of the worst series I have ever seen. As I said if you are like me and enjoy romance rather than fanservice, steer clear of this series.Overall I disliked this series. I could have just grabbed the soundtrack and maybe a few pretty wallpapers and gotten more out of it than I did by watching it. I give the series as a whole a 4, just because of the few redeeming qualities it does have. Overall7Story7Animation10Sound9Character8Enjoyment8In my opinion this was a 'intresting' anime. It different and unique but the plot is little wierd. There were when i was watching it and just asking myself 'What the hell?'
Each character has his/her own objective, making the plot nothing more than all there wants put together.another problem is that the main characters are to confusing. At the begining they don't know what they want in life but then during the last 2 episodes it all becomes clear. Suddenly,they kno what they want to accomplish and who they want to be with.But besides all the bad, there was some good.
For example i did like the love triangle, and a though it could've been handled better, it was good. The villians were also good, they funny and fun to watch, and unlike others they all were different people with different personialities and wants. Overall it was ok to watch, but i would never watch it again.
Overall4Story3Animation7Sound6Character3Enjoyment2So, listen. I saw this yuri awhile back and all I can say plot wise is that it doesn't really make much sense. While I'm fuzzy on some of the knitty gritty details, I can give you the highlights. Anywho-.Spoiler Alert.So get this straight: Himeko has a complete and total girl crush on Chikane, but very openly is in love with Souma. The entire sun and moon goddess conflict aside, their friendship blossoms until one day Chikane pretty much rapes Himeko.
Himeko, alienated (as she probably should be, considering she was raped by her best friend), avoids Chikane for awhile and seems todedicate herself to her relationship with Souma- who is honestly a pretty great guy and is the kind of a person anyone should be lucky to have. Well, Himeko starts to fight with the internal conflict that is her feelings for Souma and also her desire for, her best friend and rapist, Chikane. Eventually, however, Himeko gives into her passion for Chikane and dumps Souma to get with her. In any other universe, this series of events just seems bonkers- but I guess anything goes with shrine maidens. Overall6Story6Animation6Sound7Character6Enjoyment7Kannazuki no Miko is a light high school Yuri / save-the-world-from-an-evil-god / big-robot-fighting series spread over 12 episodes. Normally I don't care for big robot fighting, but I don't mind when it's not the main attraction, ie: Nadesico. This seemed to be the case with Kannazuki no Miko, the robot fighting wasn't prominent enough to bore me.The first episode had some strange timing issues, I felt like I was being thrown into the fray too quickly without a good introduction, but this seemed to be limited to the first episode.
I would have liked a little more character development for some of the Orochias well, but being a 12 episode series we can't ask for too much. Animation was good, but areas of low detail were notable to the eye in some parts. The plot, although not very complex, was able to draw me in and keep my interest to the end.
Seems I'm a sucker for these dramatic romance animes. Overall a decent series worth watching imho. Overall7Story5Animation7Sound9Character9Enjoyment9So, as someone who wasn't -terribly- involved in anime until around 2007-08, I have never truly gotten around to watching this one, which is odd, considering my likes. So I figure I will toss my hat from here, 2013 and ten years hence production.I came at this from the angle of someone who likes mystical and yuri romance.
I haven't ever been more than neutral towards mecha, not avoiding it, but not going out of my way either. I enjoyed this series immensely, but mostly as a character study (my preferred method of series). But a character cannot exist in a vacuum, so let's getthe bad stuff out of the way.As has been mentioned, the villains in this series are rather bland, even distracting. At best, they exist to fuel the tension in the love triangle. More often than not, they are mood killers for a few nice character moments. As such the entire plot can feel bogged down by the quirky-sentai team of mech fighters. The meta plot on the whole is not much better, being repetitive episode to episode and poorly explained.
A show like Madoka Magica gives just enough details about how the mechanics work so that, if you WANT to, you can fill in the blanks. Kannazuki no Miko is decidedly short of that standard, and the nature of the bad guys, how their mecha tie into their roles, and the powers of the priestesses are all vague and poorly developed (the latter only becomes clear at the very end). Look at it as a framing device for Chikane, anything more and you may be courting disappointment.The animation is pretty good for the time, and holds up as 'average' post-renaissance. It isn't as hard lined and simplistic as the early 90s but neither does it have the flow of a modern eye.
Point being, while you'll note some still-frame panning and extensive dialogue padding (as its cheaper than animating), it probably won't detract from your experience like some older shows can.The formulaic first half of the series can be a bit of a chore, and is by far the slowest point in the entire series (ep 3-6). There is some 'drama' about how the girls need to learn their true miko powers, some character development about how nice Chikane is to Himeko (because of her secret feelings) and some Himeko/Souma romance that gets interrupted by a mech arriving to crash their date. This pattern is repeated way too often.But then you find out the game Kannazuki no Miko has been playing, and it wasn't for a status-quo baddy fight.Chikane emerges very quickly as the strong character, because this series really is about her struggle. She has tones of Ga Rei Zero's Yomi to her, absolutely (or, is it vice-versa since this show came first?).I personally love dark tones, and the notorious 'Episode 8' did not disappoint. While the show warns you about the dark turns coming, it doesn't really prepare you, the imagery is so layered and dialogue so heart-sinking, it makes a rewatch of the previous episodes rather enjoyable. The show lays out subtle hints, some lines of dialogue come off as downright disturbing post-reveal.On paper Chikane's struggle isn't very complicated.
She harbors feelings for a friend that seems oblivious that she wants things to go further, all while chasing a boy and seeking Chikane's help (and, often, Chikane trying to make it work because she feels that will make Himeko happy). Her station in life makes loving a common girl a problem. Oh yeah, it's lesbian, that's right.While that little wrench shouldn't make this story as compelling as it does.well, it does.
Chikane's internal struggle is extremely relatable, particularly if you've BEEN on the end of harboring feelings for someone who really doesn't get the hint that that IS an option available to her. And that's really where the sadness about the Himeko/Chikane dynamic comes from: Himeko just never considers that she could be with a girl. It sounds so silly but it's a truth in the world all too common.
And I think that's what elevated the love triangle into something I was invested in, when I normally loathe them: This love triangle was genuine, and quite honest with the audience. There was no handwaving. The series comes out and says very clearly 'YES, Chikane is GAY for Himeko!' And at the same time 'Yup, Himeko really likes Souma'.As such, I found it very hard to blame Chikane for any of the actions she took on her path to darkness. If the world had been different, if it hadn't placed so much baggage on her feelings, perhaps she could have had Himeko. Even though Chikane's status as a 'noble' (a very ill defined term in the anime. Probably just wealthy) is rather grey and ill defined, she does an excellent job of conveying that pressure in her words, and in how she's designed.
She seems perpetually sad, even when smiling. The looks she gives Souma are downright terrifying sometimes, and the end of her 'date night' with Himeko made me giddy with how sad it was (Yes, I see terrible, awfully dark things and I squee). And those are the best villains, I feel. Chikane joins an incredibly short list of dark characters whom you genuinely can feel are 'in the right' (relatively speaking).
Did she need to go as far? No, probably not.
Did she have to play nice with everyone though? Also not an option. It's a beautiful story of a young woman's despair and everlasting love.This in turn gives Himeko room to grow. She shoulders both of their responsibilities on her own and finally understands Chikane's feelings. Which was nice, she didn't have to -change- who she was, merely grow. And by the end she's her own tolerable character (previously overshadowed by Chikane's complexity). Souma, sadly, doesn't really ever elevate beyond a nuisance to the plot as 'generic selfless hero'.And a small note: the music was divine and fit the series perfectly.
Not a small task for a mystical-mecha-lesbian-romance. It was just beautiful, sad, and eclectic enough to blend.In the end, how much you like this series really comes down to how much you like Chikane. As my score for 'overall' and 'enjoyment' show, I recognize there are some serious flaws here. But I love Chikane so much that I can't help but wave all those faults away as necessary set pieces to give Chikane a stage to glow on. The only thing that drags the enjoyment down, was the awful first part of the series. And even then it was a burden worth bearing. Overall1Story3Animation6Sound7Character1Enjoyment1Story 3/10This story was dumb and cliche'd.
Mecha battles came almost out of nowhere. The idea behind the show is good, however the awful, awful writing and characters ruined what could have been good. I could have been awesome. The writing sinks to a new low when the (Controversial scene) happens. And the way they justify it makes no sense, niether does much in here. Bottom line the story is mediocre most of the time, but it finds places to be really bad.BTW, the ending.
Wasn't that bad compared to the absolutely terrible ending the manga had.Art 6/10It's okay. It looks pretty good. I don'tcare for the designs, but the animation is pretty good during the mecha scenes.Sound 7/10I'd say that it's good.
Although in anime, you don't have much of an excuse to not be good. But I'll give them that.Character 1/10Oh, now we get into the bad shit. Let's start with Chinkane.
She's alright. Nothing new, but not much to complain about. Well at first there isn't, they had to fuck it up later on, but I won't spoil that.
But overall there's not much to object to with her, for the most part.Himeko is another beast. I hate this character with a passion. I finally see what Nagisa is like to poeple who hate Clannad.
Except this character isn't well written at all. All she does is cry, and she does it so much you lose all sympathy for her.
She's annoying. There are other characters who are shy and get emotional easilly, but she takes it to another level.
Kannazuki No Miko Manga
But the bigger problems is unlike other characters like Nagisa, Himeko doesn't have much other interesting traits. She's annoying and pisses me off, that's her character trait.Souma is the one dude I kinda like. It's actually kinda depressing to see him fight like an animal for a girl that's into other girls. However, I like this dude cause he's hilarious, but isn't a well written character at all.
He screams everything he says. His dialouge and yelling cracks me up every time.Enjoyment 0/10You know I've heard this anime was nothing but cheap fanservice and mecha. Well, I disagree 100%. I wish this anime were like that. The first time I saw it was in a youtube clip called, 'Greatest (something) minutes in anime history'.
It showed giant robots and lesbians. I thought, woah, 'giant robots and lesbians.' IF this was mindless anime fanservice and robots, I'd like it a lot more. This was a pathetic soap opera of an anime.
This anime had me gritting my teeth, particularly whenever himeko started crying or any other sad parts.Why do I hate this? Becuase this anime tries way to hard and fails even harder at trying to make me sad, or feel anything. It's forced melodramatic bullcrap is the reason it sucks. Cut that out, and it would just be mindless action and fanservice. A lot of people said the mecha scenes werne't nessasary, and they're right.
But they're the only good thing hereOverall 1/10This may be harsh, but I have almost nothing good to say about this piece of garbage. I hated it, it was annoying, and it is the queen of 'forcing emotions'.
Why is this anime so low? Well, I've seen shittier anime than this, that entertain me. I've seen anime with shittier stuff than this in it, but they also had good stuff to make me forget it. I'm not just failing this anime cause of the bad, but for the absence of anything good. Besides a unique idea and come cool mecha, there's nothing good to say about this#1.
Worst anime I've ever seen. Overall9Story9Animation9Sound8Character10Enjoyment9This anime focuses more on romance and story than action.
It certainly has flaws and the role of mecha isn't too appealing.I usually watch subbed anime but the dubbed version for this is on point and I really enjoyed the English voices.There is just something about this anime that makes you forgive its flaws. For me, it's the intense relationship buildup between Himeko and Chikane, and if you love Chikane like me, then the anime plays with your heart in a way that keeps you from stopping, and in the end, it is worth it.I got more enjoyment out of this anime by watchingit from the perspective of Chikane and it helps to love the character.For an anime that is this old, the character designs and art are amazing.For the story, there are some mixed thoughts, but I do like how the story uses the theme of the harsh realistic reality to serve as the actual plot. The music is average excluding the opening and ending which are great. Overall5Story4Animation8Sound9Character5Enjoyment4Rephrasing & rearranging parts.Rather long review, MAJOR SPOILERS PRESENT in order to give detailed analysis on stuff.Before you downvote my review for giving KnM a 5, I suggest you also read what Erica Friedman thinks about the manga.
Contents AppearanceTsubasa is a tall (pretty boy) with very long light green hair and deep red eyes. He usually wears an outfit which is white pants, black boots and a white cloak.PersonalityTsubasa is as well as a (presumed) sociopathic criminal with a long record, starting with the murder of his abusive father, whom he killed in order to protect (Tsubasa's younger brother). Sōma has few memories of him, and Tsubasa is hesitant to harm him seriously when they first fight; he is more focused on convincing Sōma of the Orochi cause than killing the priestesses. He eventually saves Sōma from the effects of the Orochi's curse and shows himself to be a good person who sacrifices himself for his little brother, even in the end. Tsubasa eventually proves that his feelings for his brother are stronger than any attachment he might have felt to the Orochi's nihilistic vision of global destruction.HistoryIn Tsubasa's childhood, his father often abused him and, but Tsubasa always protected Soma.
At some point, sick of all of this, Tsubasa killed his own father with a knife and he left Soma into believing that he doesn't need a criminal brother. Tsubasa claimed the fact that Soma doesn't know the hell he's been through.StoryTsubasa made his debut in when the Orochis arrives. In, he attacks Soma and Tsubasa also had a chat with Soma as he was surprised by the fact that Soma resisted his Orochi power. He is defeated by Soma when he stabbed his chest. Later, claimed the fact that Tsubasa is very affected by it. He appears again in episode 11 but he was supporting Soma.AbilitiesWhen all the other necks failed at taking his brother down, Tsubasa was ultimately successful.
His mecha, Take no Yasukunazuchi, has deployable wing-like structures which it uses to fly, and attacks with swords mounted on its arms. He is the only one of the Orochi who puts up a serious fight against after she 'turns Orochi', but the battle ends in an impasse. However, he successfully (though only temporarily) destroys Take no Yamikazuchi and ends up abandoning the fight instead, not feeling the need to finish it.
It is worth noting that Tsubasa waited until Chikane defeated the other Orochi before attacking, another sign of his sociopathic nature. In personal combat, Tsubasa mainly uses a sword, although he has shown some skill with throwing knives as well. The knives can carry a kinetic charge that causes explosions.Trivia. The name Tsubasa means 'wing' (翼). Tsubasa is 's biological older brother, but Tsubasa left Sōma behind in the care of the Ōgami family when Tsubasa ran away on his own.
Tsubasa bears the resemblance of Kyoji Kasshu from G Gundam Series. Tsubasa carries the mark of Orochi over his heart. It is implied that holds an unrequited love for Tsubasa, though Tsubasa is unaware of Miyako's feelings for him. Tsubasa is a smoker.Gallery.
