This must be the season for bored young boys to be main characters. And then you wonder why kids bury other kids in sand.
Nabari no Ou 1! While Macross F easily tops everyone in the animation quality department, this show & the JC Staff definitely brings some exciting and pretty visuals. Plus, I think this show has 'write-fanfiction' all over it.
+ The main character, Miharu, looks like Subaru (Tokyo Babylon) and Ritsuka (Loveless)'s kid.
+ Cute and funny cast like to play up the boy-love vibes.
+ The ninja action was superb.
+ The op/ed/bgm...all likable. "Crawl" by VELTPUNCH is catchy..reminds me of AKFG.
Quick summary ~ Starts off with an older boy and kid running from a bunch of ninjas. The older boy takes them on, but the kid develops powers and boom. Flashforward to present day apathetic student, Miharu, who doesn't take an interest in ninjas no matter how much classmate, Koichi, and teacher, Kumohira-sensei, talk to him. Some bad guys attack. Miharu once again shows off some power that others really want. (mushishi/matrixy scenes there)
Quick opinion ~ The pastel tone, attractive character designs and awesome action make this a delicious treat for me. The cutesy fanservice made me giggle throughout. I've gotta look up the manga now. ETA: Darn, looks like the scanlators abandoned it...or don't have a translator. Volume 1 is darn-cute. The manga had a few more details than the anime, but I like both.
