My next review will be on an anime called 'Skip Beat'. It is not a widly known anime but has come to be one of my all time favorites. Despite it's name it is not a musical anime where they sing or play instruments, it is in fact an acting anime. Actually this was the only 'acting' anime that I could find. 'Skip Beat' is an acting comedy, it starts off like this:
There is a girl named Kyoko, and she has been madly in love with Shotaro since they were children. Shotaro was always popular and over friendly with Kyoko causing all the girls to dislike her out of jealousy. One day Shotaro gets a big break and becomes a famous rockstar. Kyoko quits school to travel to a different country with him. But he treats her like a maid and takes her for granted. Kyoko catches him flirting with his manager while bringing him his lunch and overhears Shotaro calling her a maid, a somebody that he doesn't doesn't really need, etc. She gets pissed off and starts ranting on how she'll get back at him. The guards drag her out. Kyoko dyes her hair pink and gets it cut, she completely changes her attitude and sets off for the entertainment industry that rivals the one that Shotaro is in. And so starts the real adventure.
My preview covers about the first 3-4 episodes, which are kind of like the epilouge of a story. Come back and read the full review later and don't forget to watch this anime when you have time. It is really a great anime. Trust me, although Kyoko gets mad they make it in a funny way. Many people think that this is a dark anime, but it is the exact opposite. Everytime I watch this anime I laugh so hard that my lungs feel like their about to burst.
Oh, yeah, if you have any recomondations on animes, mangas, books, movies, whatever, I'll do what I can to watch them and give you my opinion on them. I'm a huge fan of anime and manga (trust me, I have trouble finding new ones since I've read or watched them all). Stay tuned! xD.
