cant thier be sex romance every good anime needs some love and action like two guys fight over the same girl over and over again that sounds like a good anime to watch
That sounds retarded, and there are many animes like that( stupid storyline of 2 boys fighting over an annoying girl) which is for little kids like yourself (at least your brain is). Not everything in life is about SEX or romance.
From the moment that i saw Mt. Fuji on the intro this anime had me hook, line, and sinker. What can i say about House of Five Leaves? Well, if you're into rock'em sock'em action, over the top super sayan powers, and bombastic fanatic humor, this anime is not for you. However, for anyone who likes a good old fashioned story of espionage, deceit, betrayal, reconciliation, and friendship, please enjoy. This anime was my favorite of 2010 and in my overall top 10.
Damn, I LOVE this fucking art style. It kind of reminds me of mine with more finesse to it. Fascinating story too, definitely watching more. Very different than the usual 14-year-old boy with hidden powers saves the world bullshit. Good shit.
My review 6.5/10. However, this is hindsight because I haven't watched the whole season. What was lacking for me was the music (melancholic as expected but quirky), sound-effects, and fluency (fight scene). The pros would be the plot is OKAY to me (a bit out of the usual with a timid samurai). Art design is stellar (beautiful expressions). Colors are comparable to Samurai Champloo (washed out and water paint-esque if not). Dialogue isn't too deep or immersive but fit the characters in persona.
Wow, I've only watched three minutes so far, and I LOVE the art.
It has a sketchy, natural feeling to it- as though someone captured bits of real peoples lives and froze them in time, to watch over and over. The glint of an eye, the slant of a limp hand- it feels so natural.
haterz gonna hate..but I love the style...its diffrent :) THIS can be an example to use when ppl say "all anime is the same,they look copy pasted" well this one IS anime and its NOT like the others..its one of the treasures :)
I have been intending to read this series manga for a while now... I liked Natsume Ono's other series, like Not Simple and Coppers. I wonder if I will actually watch all the anime though, I generally just stick with manga.
this is anime "art" is crap i like the idea of haveing normal eyes and diffrent looks and etc but this crap is just rediculous the characters dont look alive they look like walking zombies or major crack heads
Why would ppl complain about the art? That's its STYLE....= = it's meant to be like that! Not every anime has sparkly large eyes like Sailor Moon....The art style fits the laid back storyline, that's all it matters
Don't know if you've finished it already, but if not, don't worry; there's no bromance in this anime. It keeps this rather low key feel throughout the anime, but I thought it was a pleasant watch.
wow i really like this anime, its a little different from the anime I'm use to watching but its also really Good I also like how it is drawn and seeing the Samurai era.
This is the first time I've seen art like this in an anime, and it looks interesting. But it has me depressed...like the character. Maybe the gloomy will go away...I like the muted colours and not the bright vibrant colours you normally see. Hey, he beat them up with blood splaater. Nice. It's also nice to see traditional Japanese dress. I agree, why did he tell him about his family? If he didn't ask, don't say anything. I almost didn't want to see this, but now I'm interested.
@ladymusiq its qit simpol realy....ivv come to exscek the unexspekted and to take in good and bad art...as long as the story line is good i like it...if not i realy dont care if its a good art form anime or not. i care about story, not art..the arts just a bonus ^_^
@ladymusiq Accepting.* I make exception when it comes to certain art styles. I don't really connect with either the over-realistic style, or the Astroboy style. I like something in between.
This art style reminds me too much of the Okami ink paintings.
I wish people would stop bitching about the art. = = It's rare to find good anime that doesn't have the huge KAWAII DESU eyes, or where everyone is fabulously gorgeous. People have got to start appreciating different art other than average anime style. = =
Rant aside, I'm loving the anime so far~ The manga was fantastic, and I was absolutely thrilled to find out it was being turned into an anime~!
I think this is pretty cool....love the laid back art which reminds me of mushishi ...some of u kids are probably just used to watching shounen anime...I prefer the seinin anime/manga :P
@tarjay35 it's because it's changing the quality to a higher pixeling for better viewing, your best bet is to due full screen right in the beginning and change it to which ever setting you want it to be.
I didn't find the first five or so minutes hugely interesting, but then I realized that what I was watching was competent storytelling! In an anime! I had been waiting for whatever giant penis monster to jump in and start raping everybody, and that was my mistake.
You have to dial down the white noise in your brain and get ready to pay attention, because this show isn't going to shove its plot down your throat.
Augh, it's really bothering me of how people keep saying things about the art style. If you don't like it or if it bothers you that much just don't watch. Simple. Anyway, I'm REALLY happy that this manga got it's chance to turn into an anime. I find the art style very appealing and I'm hoping that more of Natsume Ono's work gets turned into animation (omg like Not Simple being turned into a movie? I'd love that!).
I really love this style! I can understand how it's not to some people's tastes because the characters aren't that overly moe-moe like everyone's used to, but I think it's truely beautiful! But then again, I've always liked animes like this :P ( Mononoke is a great one, I suggest you check it out! Not Princess Mononoke but Mononoke the anime :D)
This anime is fantastic! As much as I like watching generic shonen and shojo anime, which are cute and quick mood-picker-uppers, I love anime with distinct aesthetic styles, moods and story-lines, like Monster, Gankutsuou, Samurai Champloo, etc.
Too bad this anime only has 12 episodes. Another good short series is Jyu-Oh-Sei.
scotamiran: have you seen Mononoke (not Princess Mononoke) or Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales? They're both really good, you might like them. For manga, I'd suggest checking out Nightmare Inspector/Yumekui Kenbun.
Everybody: If you've enjoyed this show, go look up "noitaminA" on wikipedia and check out the stuff on that list. It's mostly really good stuff with the same target audience.
FUNimation does not make anime. Although, if they do, they did not make this one. They obtain licenses to distribute anime here in North America, providing subtitles and voice overs. And the most messed up part, damn property makes no sense, releasing sub-licenses to other English distributors in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
the art style in this anime is different, or atleast the character's are. idk why but based on the art style i think this is gonna turn into one twisted series
yeah first episode in, and i already like it. im constantly on the search for an anime similar to Mushi-shi, and i guess whenever i come across one thats, as zerozero calls it, a seinen anime, i always give it a shot.
btw anyone know of an anime similar to mushi-shi both in terms of content AND visual style? i mean, im not saying EXACTLY the same, but similar?
This show actually seems pretty good. The whole...bromance...thing is fine, but if they go the way of Edo Era Brokeback Mountain, I may not be able to take it. lol
#VIDEOPOSTERID#, I can't stand that youtube does not permit full tv shows and movies. I have to head to stream episodes (dot) net to watch tv shows and movies instead while I would prefer to watch all of it on youtube.
why is every one complaining about the action in this anime. I don't know if it's an American anime stereotype, but not every anime is like dragon ball z or naruto. I've only seen this one episode, but it's clearly a more seinen anime. This type of anime is story driven and usually deals with more mature topics. If people just want to watch action, then they need to stick with shonen anime.
@Zer0Zero Unfortunately...yeah, it's more of a stereotype. We like to watch things 'SPLODE (not a typo for "explode"). But I happen to like this episode...I plan on watching more of it.
Funimation, I think it's really great that you guys are licensing these more artistic anime shows. I have been promoting them and watching them right here on YouTube and I hope they are a success for you. I just have a few comments:
* I really don't like the "You should be watching" tagline, or at least the kind of creepy voice it's spoken in.
* Could you please remove the watermark? It diminishes from the mood.
It sucks that they disabled embedding. Why don't companies understand that they benefit from people spreading their content around? It's like free advertising.
Wow! I loved that <3 I can't wait for the next episode! The art's so pretty to, I really like the eyes. Hmm, though I wonder what;s up with the kid at the beginning... Is it the MC guy years later? Or maybe he's someone else?
well this looks like it's gonna be good :D haha i knew it would turn out that he was actually strong ! the only criticism that i have to say was the animation when he "fought" those two guys what the heck it looked weird and in slow-mo
@FMPuppet i like that this anime depicts how not everyone is a bishie in japan. a lot of people are drawn to beautiful anime characters like I am, but this is a nice change of pace.
I'm not a big fan of the frog-like faces (seriously, that woman was supposed to be beautiful?), but other than that, this is some masterful work. I'm looking forward to see how it develops.
Episode 1 just aired in Japan 1 hour before FUNimation's streaming release (@12:30CT, Thursday) in North America, which means, episode 2 will air next week in Japan. So you'll have to wait till next week to see it.
the style reminds me of old animated movies from the 60's-80's time. Like "The Hobit" and "The Last Unicorn" but just updated with Japanese skill. The art has a lot of personality, and the nutritive moves at a nice pace. It's like a calm anime for more mature anime fans... I think I'm starting to feel old...
Excellent first episode! Looking forward to see the interaction between the two main characters and the secrets that both hold, especially, Yaichi-dono. A yummy rouge indeed.
Wow! This was such a great beginning to a series. Love the main character already, and the art is pretty different looking too, but it fits well.. :)) not to mention the opening song is great! Yaichi is going to be an interesting character, looks like there's more to him than just that smile..so I'm looking forward to it! Hope the next episode is as great as this one!
If my theory that the depth of storyline is inversely proportional to the attractiveness of the characters is correct, then I think we've just found the Mariana Trench in this one.
@ghjjfsbf I agree, i think the characters are ugly, also youve got a very good analogy, comparing of the depth of the mariana trench ( which for those that dont know its the deepest trench in the world) to the soon to be great depth of another great anime.
(Since we're all talking about it...) I really, really like this art style! That's actually what drew me to the manga in the first place.

What was lacking for me was the music (melancholic as expected but quirky), sound-effects, and fluency (fight scene). The pros would be the plot is OKAY to me (a bit out of the usual with a timid samurai). Art design is stellar (beautiful expressions). Colors are comparable to Samurai Champloo (washed out and water paint-esque if not). Dialogue isn't too deep or immersive but fit the characters in persona.

Good story and animation, it grabs your attention just by watching the first episodes. Hope to see more in the future

It sucks that they disabled embedding. Why don't companies understand that they benefit from people spreading their content around? It's like free advertising.

Wow! I loved that <3 I can't wait for the next episode! The art's so pretty to, I really like the eyes. Hmm, though I wonder what;s up with the kid at the beginning... Is it the MC guy years later? Or maybe he's someone else?

well this looks like it's gonna be good :D haha i knew it would turn out that he was actually strong ! the only criticism that i have to say was the animation when he "fought" those two guys what the heck it looked weird and in slow-mo

Why does everything look beautiful except the characters? :/ Kind of depressing.

@FMPuppet i like that this anime depicts how not everyone is a bishie in japan. a lot of people are drawn to beautiful anime characters like I am, but this is a nice change of pace.

I'm not a big fan of the frog-like faces (seriously, that woman was supposed to be beautiful?), but other than that, this is some masterful work. I'm looking forward to see how it develops.

@Azureman012 I said the same thing when he said the woman was beautiful. but overall, this looks like a good anime

@FelidaeFur
Episode 1 just aired in Japan 1 hour before FUNimation's streaming release (@12:30CT, Thursday) in North America, which means, episode 2 will air next week in Japan. So you'll have to wait till next week to see it.

the style reminds me of old animated movies from the 60's-80's time. Like "The Hobit" and "The Last Unicorn" but just updated with Japanese skill. The art has a lot of personality, and the nutritive moves at a nice pace. It's like a calm anime for more mature anime fans... I think I'm starting to feel old...

didnt really like the animation and the main character's whole mopey samurai routine got kind of irritating.
nice art style though. It seems pretty well done but not in my tastes at all.

Excellent first episode! Looking forward to see the interaction between the two main characters and the secrets that both hold, especially, Yaichi-dono. A yummy rouge indeed.

yaoi4evandnevayuri 1 year ago
Wow! This was such a great beginning to a series. Love the main character already, and the art is pretty different looking too, but it fits well.. :)) not to mention the opening song is great! Yaichi is going to be an interesting character, looks like there's more to him than just that smile..so I'm looking forward to it! Hope the next episode is as great as this one!

If my theory that the depth of storyline is inversely proportional to the attractiveness of the characters is correct, then I think we've just found the Mariana Trench in this one.
ghjjfsbf 1 year ago
@ghjjfsbf I agree, i think the characters are ugly, also youve got a very good analogy, comparing of the depth of the mariana trench ( which for those that dont know its the deepest trench in the world) to the soon to be great depth of another great anime.
