The Little Battlers: Episode 2

Image
Although this is only the second episode, quite a few developments are made: Building up existing characters Introducing new characters Establishing the current objective of the antagonists Comparing this episode to the first, there is a large difference in the amount of content. In relation to pacing, this is a good choice since we've already been introduced to the main characters and the basic premise of the show. In shows where too much occurs on the first episode, the audience has a hard time enjoying themselves since effort has to be put into learning the context of the world and its characters. By dedicating the first episode as an introduction without too much progression, the opportunity to create episodes that constantly push the story forward without bringing up too many ideas for the audience to handle. As expected, the action sequences are just as good if not better than those in the first episode. While the first episode had part of a 2 on 2 battle and all of ...

As of late I realized that my opinion generally differs from that of most people, either that or the people I've been having conversations with lately are quite abnormal. In light of this, I'm going to start reviewing "The Little Battlers" anime which is also know as "Danball Senki".

Japanese is a foreign language to me and written Chinese as also equally foreign, so my reviews will focus on what I can grasp and experience.
