RDG: Red Data Girl First Impression
Episodes Watched: 1, 2 & 3, Subber Used: Commie
Ok so when I read the summary of this I thought it would be
an interesting anime mostly because I’m actually really into anything relating
to Japanese Shinto and Buddhism. So the plot for this anime is really thrown
around but the way the protagonist knows nothing as well kinda makes everything
seem like its okay to feel like you don't know anything. The anime starts off
pretty slowly in terms of both story and character introduction, after the
first episode I’m still didn't quite understand much besides the overall gist
of it, but that probably all they intend you to understand. I like the heavy
ideas and thoughts behind the anime, for example the way Izumiko is outcast-ed by most of her classmates and how Miyuki was beat heavily by Yukimasa. The
whole unknown darkness cloaked figures give a nice sense of mystery and fear.
There is no doubt that this anime is a serious story relient anime without much
of a combat element, never the less there are some good leaning moments like
the incident with Wamiya. The characters are well divided between each other,
but its simply Izumiko being a shy afraid hopeless girl and everyone else being
normal. Izumiko will probably develop into a more outgoing and courageous
character as the story develops, but before then it seems that Miyuki will be
the one protecting her.
The art to this anime is a very pleasant and clean New age
type art, the art isn't the same as other anime but it isn’t different so that
it looks unseen. I actually really like this form of animation but that doesn't
mean that abstractly animated anime is bad. The nature and background like most
new age animated anime looks a lot better than the characters but they go so
well together that each part is complimented by each other. The anime has
moments when a lot of good transitions take place like when Izumiko was moved
underwater in the computer incident at the start, or when she was surrounded by
darkness.
The anime doesn't seem to appealing at first and I know that
many people would probably drop it after the first or second episode due to
this. However this may be I recommend you give the anime some time and let it
unravel on its own. If you really can’t stand it then just drop it, its very
understandable when an anime just doesn't feel right with you.
Personal Note: I kinda want to Ship Izumiko and Miyuki and
see them develop as a couple. I also want to see Miyuki go full out cool guy
and do some sort of amazing battle thing, but then again I want many things
that cant happen –sigh-
Rating: so far…. 8/10
