Kill Me Baby Anime Review
Socialization with people is vital for enriching a person's daily routine. What happens though if your best friend is high trained assassin, and your classmate is a skilled ninja? These are people that Yasuna interact with on a daily basic. She is a dim-witted yet lively girl who wants to have fun. She often tries to get Sonya the assassin involved with what she's doing. Though her actions backfire on her, and end up causing Yasuna to look like the classic buffoon.
As an assassin, Sonya is a dangerous individual, who doesn't react well to sudden taps on the back or anything she perceives as dangerous to her health. These negative responses often injure Yasuna, who wants to learn how to protect herself and counter the next time Sonya makes a move. Following the advice of Agiri, the ninja does not work at all. Japanese comedy anime that have aired recently have divided jokes into segments, that are as short as three minutes like Recorder and Randsell, or as long as a half hour with jokes being broken into two or three portions similar to Daily Lives High School of Boys. Kill Me Baby is a recent Japanese title that has been adopted from a 4-panel manga. It is a 30 minute school girl anime that definitely leaves viewers either laughing out loud at the absurdity of the characters or grimace in empathy. There are definitely going to be fans though, so is this a type of show to check out? We think so. This series is directed by Yoshiki Yamakawa, who has been part of other works that may be familiar to anime viewers such as the already mentioned, Azumanga Daioh, and Di Gi Charat. The character designs in Kill Me Baby are super deformed in a chibi manner, but also cute with the expressions or reactions. This should appeal to those who are fans for Lucky Star or Nichijou who are also comedic series about every day school life. This is a very popular genre in Japanese animation. Scenarios in Kill Me Baby inevitably send the viewer a cautionary message of being definitely aware of your surroundings; otherwise something always happens, no matter how weird or far fetched the possibility is. On a scale of checking this series out to rating this as a must see, how many of you are going to see Kill Me Baby? Reviewed by Linda Yau, May 2012 |
