I thought my review was quite positive... :?
I'm not a great fan of Parasite Dolls either, though minute-for-minute it's more entertaining than Kamisama. To rub salt in the wound it seemed there was the beginnings of a half-decent plot development right at the end of the final episode.Professor Irony said:I've seen a few references to Kamisama Dolls of late and, every time without fail, I've confused it with Parasite Dolls, making me disappointed that someone hasn't made more of that...
But yeah, it does sound like a waste of an interesting setup.
I think a few things hurt this series. Firstly, Koshiro and his family are weird. Nobody ever complains about this when they talk about Koi Kaze, so maybe it's just me, but I can't think of any justifiable reason for Koshiro and Nanoka being kept apart for such a long time. When Koshiro met his mother half-way through the series, the two of them inexplicably not having seen each other for 15 years, there's hardly any reaction from either of them.20thCenturyBoy said:Koi Kaze
4/10
Incest is nothing new in anime and normally I'm not that bothered by it in a series, but I think just because of how serious their "love" was treated and, perhaps moreso, the age difference really made this series quite disgusting. I personally think the best moment in the show was when Chidori tells Koshiro how disgusting and vile he is and Koshiro agreeing that he hates himself for it. Had the series went down the route of Koshiro being deeply guilty and tormented over the whole thing before eventually leaving and perhaps even killing himself then it may have made for at least a more interesting watch.
Outside the incest angle though, there's not much else going on in this show, no characters to really get invested in, no other plotlines, nothing else to entertain us.
