I'm wasn't overly fond of the character designs for the main part -- Ichigo took a bit of getting used to... but there is a good mix of cute girls and chibi-esq moments in the mix to soften the atmosphere, again much like Get Backers. Of course, by the end of the show you're left with what I expect will be the design that carries him through to the end... and he did look quite cool in that outfit.
Which brings me to the premise of the show; for some reason I find it very appealing. All I can think is "cool idea"... although I don't know why, I'm not normally a fan of such shows. I'm looking forward to interesting plot developments. As I said, I've not read the manga... and while I'm not a fan of the genera I still hear good things about it so hopefully I won't be disappointed... given we don't know how long it will be yet, it would be a shame if were to end up like Naruto and become stale. If the style used in the fights so far continues I think I'll be able to deal with it  . |
I think that pretty explains why I like the opening. I watched it at least ten times because the song was so catchy. I thought the animation really fit the song too. I even made my favorite part of the opening into a gif. ^_^;;
You do not like the character design Nightshade?! How can you? I thought Ichigo looked really good. Not to mention I loved his personality. The fact he is not perverted, and unlike most main characters in Shounen manga, actually has a brain (He can actually do school no problem, and use his brain in fights). Rukia looked strange when I first saw her and almost stopped me from watching the anime. I got used to her looks now though and her personality more than enough made up for her tomboy look.
I finished reading the manga yesterday night (well most of what was published anyway). It was awsome. At the moment I think the anime is pretty good I watched the two episodes without skipping anything, but I hope like you it won't turn sort of boring like Naruto. I hope it won't turn into something I will download but never watch.
