Lianne *heart* Monsters
September 23rd, 2008 by Lianne
Working on Tactics has made me partial to stories about cute boys and awesome monsters, so when I heard about Natsume’s Book of Friends, I got excited. It turns out the show is way, way better than I was expecting. Here’s a Mini Review for you. Want a taste first? Here you go. Note that Natsume’s Book is Friends is not to be confused with Amatsuki, the other shoujo anime about cute boys and awesome monsters running this season.
Japanese geek TV is so girl-friendly right now that shoujo sub-genres can actually repeat. And that makes me feel all warm inside.
Natsume manga and anime?
Definitely defnitely definitely worth it. There’s just something so nice about a relaxing episodic but still moving supernatural series that doesn’t treat the genre in its usual ways (thriller/horror, or over-the-top/spoofs).
Yeah, Natsume is badass. I just got my hands on a drama CD, and I look forward to reading the manga next. Is there anything out of Lala these days that isn’t pure awesome?
