KURAU Phantom Memory May 30, 2006
Just finished watching Kurau. It’s not that bad as people blogged it. Story is a weak place. Kurau has suffered in some physics experiment of her father and turned into Rynax. That Rynax is interesting thing (maybe only interesting thing in the entire plot). As I get it, it’s some kind of subatomic being; it lives in pairs (!) and has some superhuman abilities (flying, disintegrating things and stuff). Kurau gives birth to her own “pair”, Christmas (yeah, yeah,yeah, it’s her name… it’s pretty nice actually, once you get used to it). Then CIA-like organization called GPO starts to chase them around the globe (and on Moon also). Ok. So far so good. Why is it weak? Cause it ends here. The story doesn’t move forward from this point. With regard to the fact that all this has been known since 1st episode, it’s pretty bad for the show (there are 24 episodes, you know).
What are the good points? It’s BONES’ (hmm). Very nice character design. Nice colors. Pretty good seiyuu and music. It features Ayaka Steiner (see her above to the right). If you don’t pay much attention to the story, it’s pretty enjoyable (but hardly rewatchable). But still Ayaka Steiner…

[...] BONES screwed up not only with Eureka, they have that stupid shounen thing Juuousei. And Kurau is on their list too (though it’s not SO bad). And this is from the same people that did Rahxephon! Don’t know what’s with them, maybe they save on scriptwriters? Why, why are their stories so stupid?! Why spend all that time drawing such nice, elaborate pictures, if you have nothing to say? Nothing but mechas flying on the board, I mean? It’s so stupid! I’ve wasted 30 episodes of my time only to see that nothing happens! Why should I care “what the boy thinks”, “what the girl thinks” and all that nonsense? What, it’s Gonzo’s? [...]
