The anime that introduces the easily defined bad guys, spies and over achievers.
Let’s see.
We have Barely-obscured-by-the-tree and Wears-a-shirt-poorly.
We also have thinly-veiled-women’s-lib and hey-I-look-like-your-lost-relative-obviously-you-shouldn’t-trust-me.
And of course there’s the main character who is saved by his own Emo.
I mean when you stop and think about the main five cast members, he’s totally Heart and you can’t kill heart. Now if it’d been fire or water, well they would have been screwed. But not HEART!
I’m betting on a nice dose of plotnesia to help mask the identity of the shooter, even though they totally came out and were like two feet away from their intended victim and didn’t even bother to obscure their face…
Ah plotnesia, you’ve saved many an anime.
Sadly, you’ve also been the driving force behind a few as well.
