'In the big city of Yanagihara, the masses of people and buildings make it a bustling place to exist, and yet, people will meet and fall in love here in this city.'
[SPOILERS in the text below, please do not read if you wish to avoid spoilers.]
I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started watching We without wings, I picked it out randomly one day and thought it looked like it could be interesting, so I decided to watch it.
It starts off in the city of Yanagihara and follows the story of 4 main characters, I'd tell you their names but I couldn't remember them if my life depended on it, this show has so many different characters that it's genuinely hard to keep up with who is who. These 4 characters have fairly plain lives, working, hanging out with friends, meeting new people, all these things led me to believe it was going to be a slice of life kinda anime.
Skip forward a few episodes and there's a bit of drama, gang violence in the city and one of the main intervenes and breaks it up, creating a few enemies in the process. Meanwhile the other characters are still going about their day to day lives. In the next episode we see the heroic Hawk preparing to fight an army of goblins and orcs and... Wait what? Did I click on the wrong show? What is even going on? Who are all these new characters? So many questions!
So yeah, that slice of life anime just turned into a cheap fantasy one out of nowhere? Wasn't expecting that.
I won't lie, I stopped watching at that point without giving it a second chance, I felt that the fantasy part came out of nowhere and way too late into the show. I'd gotten used to the realistic aspect of it and the normality of it all, it was a nice change of pace. For the show to go from that to an over the top and childish fantasy world was just too much. Then of course there's the 10 or so characters that get introduced within 1 minute, as if there weren't enough names to not remember already.
Overall I wasn't really happy with this show, one of the few that I'd say I actually disliked. Maybe one day I'll go back and finish the whole show to see if it gets any better but I won't be holding my breath. I wouldn't recommend this show at all. Also sorry that this is kinda short and seems a lil rushed. There's not many interesting things to say about this show in all honesty.
On a side note, I'd like to apologise for the inconsistent posting, I've been preoccupied with work IRL and haven't had much time to get on my pc.
This anime, along with nearly all the others I watch, can be found on crunchyroll, link below:

No need to apologize on your own blog for living your life. No need to rush publishing new content, either. If the post displeases you, then hold off on it until you are satisfied with what you have created. It's not a "waste of space" either. Not only is your blog a form of entertainment, but it's also kinda like a time capsule. I periodically go back to my old posts and look over what I used to type about and how well I typed it. Originally, I was going to "fix" them, but that would have been like trying to rewrite the cotent of a history book, so I left it all alone. Many of my personal posts have been reverted back to drafts, because the content is dated and personal (an extremely boring combination of traits for everyone except me to read).
ReplyDeleteThis Wings show does sound a bit odd. I might set it on my queue list just to see what's so bad about it. Thanks for making me curious.
