Reviews for Uta Kata (6.69) 134p5w

First impression: Well my first impression is not that verry good. From the intro I got the feeling it was yet another kind of magical girl anime. With other words not something that I liked that much. But then again you can't allways trust your first impression since it could be wrong alot of times.

Animation: It's pretty good and so on but... Im not sure how I like the designs since it feels like they are like 12 or something like that. I think they're suppsed to be 14-16 something like that and it throws me of a bit. Other than that it's quit good. And even if it does have the whole magical girl aspect in the show it don't reuse the whole half nudity transformation that they do in most magical girls animes. Why don't they you might ask well because she uses diffrent skimpy outfits everytime so there you have it but then again not all of them are skimpy.

Sound: I really do love the outro, I listened to it so mush that Im sick of it and yet that very song is coming out of the speakers as Im writing this review. Im not that picky about sound and animation since thats really not my thing, I belive that if you get to caught up in that you might miss out something good. As long as I don't dislike it too much I don't care. That not to say that they have bad voice acting in the show it pretty good... but I do get quite annoyed by the whole ROGER that they say alot of times or yohkai (No not demon) as they say in japan.

Story: Now you might wonder why the hell did I continue to watch this if I don't like the whole magical girls genre if you're not wondering start asking that now. To be honest I didint have any plans to continue watching it but before I cheked out the first episode I had alredy dl 6 of them so I thought why the heck not. Much to my surprise it won me over so that I can't stop watching it and started waiting on the next episode in short it got me hooked. What really won me over was the story, it's not your typical magical girl anime for you. It's darker and mysterous. You don't have any change into a super girl to kick the ass on some monsters that want to invade the world, I hope you heard me NO such thing in this anime... so far at least and I doubt there will be any of the sort in it. So why with the whole semi nudity change into a costume... as silly as it may sound it's because she's doing someone else's homework. It all starts with summerbreak and the students are cleaning up the school. Then this girl Ichika drops her cellphone in an old storage place. When she later goes there she finds that the cellphone somehow got stuck inside this giant mirror and a girl she dreamt about show up and walks throu the mirror with her cell phone in exchange she's going to summon the spirits of earth and write about it. Ok so it sounds crapy but I just don't want to give away to much of the story since it's good or maybe Im just not cut out for this. But keep in mind it's not all happy and lovy dovy like other series. Im a bit dissapointed with the ending... it's not quite what I had expected it to be and in some ways it didint answer all my qustions on the series. I hope the OVA will cover up those things.

Characters: You have a few main characters and a few characters the usual. There is alot of character growth. Even if it's short you do get to know them and see who they really are and so on. Alot of things happens to the main character during this time and you don't really understand all the things about the characters you want to know more about them and how they are connected to each other and to be honest I could not see where this was heading or what's going to happen in the end.

Value/Enjoyment: Im the kind of person who don't like to rewatch most things unless it's that freakin good... this show has a great set of characters that you don't really know what's happening to them and a great story where you understand some things and some you won't until they reveal what's it's all about if they do it. But this might as well be one of the series that I'll rewatch some day like maybe 2-3 months from now. The first episode did not get me hooked or anything like that... it felt more like another anime series out of many but a few episodes in it got alot darker and things start to changes and before I knew it I couldn't wait to se what was going to happen.
