Review of girl dress up games online free::Where Can I Play Dress up Games
Despite being an anime fan who travels the country attending anime conventions, I have to admit that the last anime series I watched from beginning to end was "Azumanga Daioh" in 2003. The trouble with being an anime fan is that as soon as I finish one anime series, at least ten more series pop out of the woodwork and expect me to devote countless hours watching, reading, and discussing it with other die-hard anime fans online and at conventions. Well, I can't do that. The basic responsibilities of earning income to pay bills and social interactions that cannot be fulfilled with anime discussion take up most of my time nowadays. So most new anime titles escape my radar. Occasionally I find myself with a small pocket of free time to catch up on anime. Usually, I want to spend that free time getting reacquainted with anime that got me interested in anime in the first place. But during a rare cosmic realignment, I finally decide to listen to the anime fans online and at conventions who heap mounds of praise and devotion to their anime of choice. Some of these fans will even dress up as characters from the series (known as cosplaying) and dance to the opening sequence of the series during anime conventions just to show their love for the series. Sure, most do it to show their adoration of the series. But all of the attention they get from the fans who photograph and post video of them online is another factor to consider. Not that there is anything wrong with pandering to fans since I am one of the many people who photographs and videotapes the costumed attendees of conventions and I myself dress up as characters from the anime series I like. I guess I'm just calling the kettle black here. Well, I'm three paragraphs in and I still have not mentioned the anime that I finally got around to watching thanks to the prodding of its fans. After enjoying "Azumanga Daioh," the character driven slice of life high school comedy series, I picked up a copy of "Lucky Star." My friends and most anime fans describe it as a character driven slice of life high school comedy series. There's nothing wrong with sticking to something you like. Then a couple of warning lights began to flash. I guess the first warning light flashed when I saw the opening sequence. I will admit the opening theme music and accompanying dance is catchy... suspiciously catchy. The cynic in me gets the impression that "Lucky Star" intentionally made the opening that overly catchy to overshadow the content of the show. The first thing most "Lucky Star" cosplayers and fans show or tell me about the show is the opening theme and accompanying dance. Any attempts to delve deeper into the content of the series is met with a quick change of subject. The second warning light flashed when I saw the number of cheerleaders during the opening sequence. As an average heterosexual male, I'm all for seeing a number of dancing cheerleaders. But then the anime viewer in me kicks in and realizes that given the number of cheerleaders, this means more characters to introduce and keep track of during the series that requires a flowchart to find out who is involved with whom. And I feel that aside from the primary four characters, most of the ancillary characters are getting the short stick in terms of character development. After finishing the opening sequence, the actual episode starts. As this is the first episode, I am introduced to the principal four characters. If I have to watch 24 episodes of "Lucky Star," the show had better make me like them enough to put up with their antics. Konata is the lead character and apparent ambassador of the series to anime fans. Despite her athletic skills and intelligence, Konata is still an overly cute representation of the die hard anime fan complete with slacker tendencies. The Hiragi twins consisted of the smart yet occasionally shy Kagami and the airhead yet good-natured Tsukasa. Both are overly cute. Rounding out the four is the glasses wearing Miyuki. Not only is she overly polite, she is also overly cute. I'm not sure when anime producers decided to make most anime females carbon copies of the same set of cute anime archetypes; my guess is when the character development team merged with the marketing team. But these main four resemble a template of the most marketable anime characters that resemble previously marketable anime characters. There are even Japanese terms for each archetype, but in the interest of not overloading my spell checker, I won't list them here. The first episode shows off the characters in a surreal "Seinfeld" setting where nothing happens and the audience just sees the four characters interact. Within seven minutes the characters cutely discuss how they eat desserts, eggs, and various grilled meat. Then during the rest of the episode they cutely skirt the issue of adult games and kidnapping, cutely discuss each other's characteristics, cutely differentiate a cold from the flu, cutely reflect on their physical examinations, and cutely talk about the social aspects of MMORPGs. If you're sensing a recurring cute motif, you qualify for a marketing research position. It seems the marketing team not ate the character development team, it absorbed the plot development team for dessert. While anime is an opportunity to tell a moving story or open discussions about moral issues, cute sells more DVDs and merchandise. The average anime male fan is a predictable species who will latch on to anything with a cute girl. I admit to doing the same thing,but I prefer my cute girls to have depth... and perhaps larger breasts. I've been dabbling into American comics recently. After the end of the episode comes my favorite part: The Lucky Channel. As a side story of the show, the hosts Akira and Minoru pop in to answer questions about the anime. But in truth, Beelzebub is torturing these two by locking them in a room where they can freely get cynical, mean-spirited, abusive, and violent towards each other while a viewing audience laughs at their misery. These two have some actual character and chemistry compared to the four from the main show. If it were possible, I'd buy a DVD consisting of only the Lucky Channel bits. I suppose if I watch more episodes of "Lucky Star," I may grow to like it. It is like an animal shaped balloon: Both look cute, but once you cut into it, you realize both are full of nothing but air. I do give credit for the show being able to fill itself full of anime fan references and making it familiar with its target audience the anime fans. But like "Family Guy," I feel that throwing pop culture and anime subculture references is lazy writing. I already get most of the anime fan references from attending a convention, why do I need them hammered back at me? I have a system for most anime and TV watching: The first episode has to interest me into watching the episode. The first episode of "Lucky Star" simply did not interest me into watching the second episode. I may catch some flak for not liking a series liked by most of the anime fans. But I come from an older breed of anime. I remember when anime series did not have to be marketable. I remember when anime series could develop characters I could relate to even though I could not change into some black pig when splashed with cold water. I remember when anime could bring up philosophical topics like reality and identity amid the worldwide plague known as the Internet. I remember when anime did not have to be cute and could feature a guy who turned into a gelatinous blob that inadvertently crushed his girlfriend into red goo (though on reflection, I'd rather forget about that one). |
