A series where I was fully engaged. While this is not a perfect series, nor did the ending truly satisfy me. Skip Beat was extremely fun to watch. There are not a lot of anime out there where I would marathon a multitude of episodes - or one that would make me gasp loudly at how short it felt. Skip Beat made me feel a large amount of emotions: revenge, anxiety, happiness, and love.
The plot is a simple act of revenge. However, the characters truly pour their hearts out with every expression and action. It was very impressive how they laid out Kyoko's character. She's a normal run-of-the-mill girl that you can easily warm up to. The more exciting aspects of Skip Beat was wondering just how Kyoko will play through her issues, what kind of solutions she can come up with.
I'm always tickled about anime about theatre and art. It's simply so fun! (such as Glass Mask or Hitohira). With this main theme, there will be plenty of competitive areas where you will actually be at the edge of your seat. I hear myself thinking aloud, "just what unique scheme will Kyoko think up this episode?". There's ample drama, but the best part is the comedy! Try not to laugh at Kyoko's embarrassing and exaggerating antics here, it may be difficult.
What I loved most was the imagery. The production staff didn't shy away for using an assortment of colours. There was a vast variety of hilarious facial expressions. Kyoko shows every side of her (and so do her inner most conscious spirits). Another thing that deserves praise are the emotions portrayed. Skip Beat really impressed me with their genuine display, and explanation, of certain character emotions. This anime is a motivator to run towards your dreams and find out what you're capable of!
The best word to describe Skip Beat is FUN. I loved the colourful zaniness, and the subtle romance. It was a very fun experience. | |
