Baoh

I was attracted to the wacky screenshots on this website for this anime.

It seemed like it would be a crazy ride, and I gave it a go.

Of course, I don't have the nostalgy factor as I'm just picking this up now, but it just seemed weird in a bad way for me.

Not only the story is very basic, and the writing quite silly and cringe at times.

It also has the two main characters, a 9 year old girl and a 17 year old boy having a romance.. bad vibes, if you ask me.. not interested in seeing anything like that, specially because it doesn't serve the story and it's unnecessary.

If it was within the premise and setting, I might take it differently, but the age difference is weird and quite inappropriate. I wouldn't crucify the whole film because of this, of course, it just seemed very awkward, but the rest of the film wasn't great neither.

There are two characters saying out loud whatever the main character is doing, like the viewer is incapable of figure it out, it was quite annoying.

The action is nothing special, and the character designs are interesting, but not enough to carry such a a lack of a good story.

The story seems to be some sort of a series start, but probably didn't well enough to carry on with it.

I guess the visual aspect is its strongest point, but it isn't anything special.

Plenty of better animes out there to check before this one, from the 80s, 90s and newer.
