Weiss Kruez, not Knight Hunters
|
Weiss Kruez, amusingly enough the title in english being Knight Hunters, is most likely one of the greatest animes from 1990s, coming from the era of hand-painted cels and made with not all the the great technology we enjoy today, I give the animation for Weiss Kruez a massive 9 or 10 out of 10 for the sheer beauty of its animation not being computer generated graphics. This is hand painted animation at its best. I've heard a few comments in the past, not all here on Amazon, about the animation not being the greatest and I felt there was a need to post a review defending that. Hand-painted animation and computer animation need to be considered in separate categories, not one lump, or you lose all sense of appreciation for either branch of animation.
Also I have heard that the plot for Weiss Kruez is not among the greatest, again, I sharply disagree. True, this is a shojo series and there are a few moments of sitting there doubting some of the plot devices, but to quote a article I read called "Synergy Between Sociopaths" Weiss Kruez was described as a confusing soap opera, and it fits that description very well. This is a drama series and its meant to be watched with a box of kleenexs and if you are a detail freak like I am, Weiss Kruez delivers on those little pieces of plot and subplot that keep your eyes and ears glued to the TV screen. There are many details to this series that require the viewer to watch and rewatch to catch all details and how they later crop up, such as Crawford's appearance during the Human Chess episode without the rest of Schwarz, even though his name is not given during the episode, his appearance marks another huge portion of the plot, Schwarz and their role in concerns to Takatori, Eszett and the Weiss boys. However, paying attention to all these details is what makes the series pure love, the more you watch it, the more you realize what you missed in your first sitting of it and the more you are drawn into the series. A series that cannot charm you again in the second sitting/viewing all over again, is not truly a anime. The animation is gorgeous, the plot is very well written, and whether you watch it in english or japanese, you will fall in love with the series again and again with its charm. |
