![]() It’s the most successful-selling manga of all time and is regarded by many to be the greatest series in both anime and manga outright. One Piece, for example, is not an underrated series. Underrated means not receiving the praise someone or something deserves. Overrated, Underrated, Properly Rated Explained There are more spotlight-deserving anime from this season. Now, don’t let the term overrated make you think this is just a way of saying “I hate this series.” It’s a matter of debating a series’ popularity based on the quality of the series. Engage Kiss is a prime example of having its success carried by its phenomenal production work, which A-1 Pictures has more recently shined for with other series such as 86 Eighty-Six, Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and the aforementioned Lycoris Recoil.Īnd while that seems like a shallow way of looking at it, take away the action and Engage Kiss becomes a ridiculously terrible romcom with absolutely no depth to it whatsoever that most would’ve dropped by episode 5. And when the flaws of a series are practically shoved in your face every episode, it’s hard to ignore them. There’s a fine line you have to draw when it comes to being subjective and objective towards certain series. It’s the one consistent part of the series that actually makes Engage Kiss stand out from others this season and it hasn’t gone unrecognized. First the first half of the season, we’re given what is practically a well-produced fight with a great soundtrack to end every episode. That is undoubtedly something that nobody can take away from the series. Almost every week there are beautifully executed fight scenes with wild compositing that includes vivid colors and extreme choreography. Nobody is giving the thumbs down to Engage Kiss‘ animation, compositing, and sound design. Kisara, Engage Kiss, Episode 1 Engage Kiss – Production And the worst part of all, she’s a demon but we’ve never once felt like she is either. So when she starts to all of a sudden have a sense of remorse, it’s difficult to sympathize with her, even after what happened at the end of episode 10. And it’s hard to mirror her feelings in certain moments because we were so used to her being controlling of Shu for her own personal reasons. But her development being so forced in this tight window near the end of the series makes it feel incredibly rushed. One could argue that’s in perfect contrast with Ayano, and you may have a point. However, at least Kisara has an interesting character design and she actually develops a sense of responsibility. So the plot does not properly develop and neither do the characters and their relationships. She’s actually matured (somewhat) from episode 1 to now and it just makes her slightly more bearable than Ayano or Shu. ![]() But the good thing about her character is we’ve gotten some development of her character, especially in episode 10, which is completely non-existent in the previous two. So not only is the main protagonist a drag but so is another one of the main characters.Īs for Kisara, we know she is no saint in her own right. Ayano is without a shadow of a doubt an insufferable character from top to bottom despite trying to be portrayed as a supportive one. Then she accuses her closest friend of betraying her, holds a gun to her head, and then says she’s actually a wonderful friend moments later after Shu saves her (episode 10).
