Green Green is.oh boy. Green Green is an anime that was based off of a supposedly pornographic visual novel. Ive never played the visual novel for myself so Ill have to take peoples word for it. Green Green was something one of my friends told me about. He told me that I should review it because of how bad it was. Is it really that bad though? Story: The plot of this series revolves around Yusuke his friends which consist of 3 idiotic perverts who only have sex on the mind living at an all male boarding house though its only all male for a few minutes at most. A school bus carrying a bunch of girls who were pretty much made to transfer against their will then arrives at the academy we then meet midori a girl that apparently knows Yusuke because she comes from the future in an alternate timeline. Shenanigans ensue nothing really matters until the last 2 episodes the end. Where do I even begin? Well for starters absolutely nothing happens. Nothing that would move the plot along anyway. For the first episode we get setup for whats instore for us in the following episodes to come. The problem is nothing but shenanigans are in store for us until episode 10 which is when this anime remembers that it has a plot its supposed to tell. The second problem the story explains absolutely nothing. We arent given a single goddamn detail about what the story is supposed to be about until the final 2 episodes. But by then its too late as anybody with sanity which isnt myself unfortunately wouldve dropped this show and moved. Now onto the comedy of this series. The comedy in this series is the same juvenile loud random obnoxious humor that you would expect to find in just about any ecchifanservice anime. But the absolute pants on top of this shit sundae is just how creepy some of these jokes become. We not only see one of the 3 perverts sleep next to his kid sister eat food next to her then get in a how should I say peculiar position. But we also get to see the guys having incredibly putrid fantasies of some of the girls on campus. So the humor isnt only juvenile toilet but its also outright creepy what a combination. Characters: Yusuke is the straight man and pretty much nothing else. Yusuke is probably the least irritating of the characters in this show I really cant get too riled up at a nobody who doesnt see a lick of development throughout the entire 12 episodes. Futaba is a strong girl as well as the only other sane person in this anime. I cant really get mad at her either especially seeing as she beats up the idiotic perverts which is incredibly satisfying might I add. Next on our list is Midori. Midori is only defined as being hopelessly obsessed with Yusuke. Shes also supposed to be some girl from the future but the anime doesnt bother explaining a damnthing about that. Next on our list are the 3 little perverts. Im lumping these 3 together because theyre practically the same character they might as well have just been the same drawing with different clothes trying to mask the fact lord knows it would certainly fit with how incredibly lazy everything about this anime is. Yet another big problem with this anime is just how lacking flat all these characters are. Theyre pretty much only defined by one character trait nothing else. Which could work given that this series is a comedy as long as the characters provide a good comedic dynamic between each other everything should be fine. But as I pointed out earlier the comedy in this series is juvenile creepy so youve already failed on the comedy by itself so by that point you wouldnt even know how to create good character dynamics if you failed at the basic comedy. The characters also see 0 development throughout the entire runtime of this anime. There are moments that may seem like some development is going to take place but after those moments things pretty much go back to the way they were. Which makes the whole thing frustrating above all else. Art: The artwork on display here is absolutely atrocious the backgrounds are lazy repetitive the character designs are hideous the colors are drab the overall world design looks incredibly basic. The animation on the other hand is ridiculously lazy. They took every corner cutting technique you could imagine shots that dont show the characters mouths to get away with not having to animate the lips which wouldve looked like shit anyway reused animation sliding still images across the screen literally being still images 0 detail if theres a corner cutting technique that I havent mentioned I can guarantee you this show took it. The cinematography is just as lazy as the animation is. Flat lifeless shots panning over still images what masterful directing you have Green Green Sound: The voice acting is atrocious the comedy is incredibly overacted the characters are either yelling almost all the time or theyre in such a monotone voice that makes it sound like the voice actors were so invested in their role. I watched both the English Dub original Japanese Audio theyre equally horrendous as one another but at least the Japanese side could actually pronounce the names of the characters correctly so that makes it win by default. The music honestly isnt bad its nothing special but I feel like this wouldve been a decent OST had it been used in a different show. Als this is green green were talking about so the OST is just a barely actually no not even barely salvageable piece out of this shitty shitty anime. Final Thoughts/Overall Do I even need to say it at this point? Green Green gets a 1/10 there is absolutely nothing positive here. The story is on pause for 98 of the runtime when it does decide to rear its head its so poorly explained. The animation is ridiculously lazy the art is atrocious the voice acting is atrocious the characters are flat caricatures theres nothing here. I now fully understand why the friend who told me I should take a look at this warned me at the last second as to why I shouldve reconsidered. Im quite honestly ashamed of myself for watching this past the first episode and this is coming from a man who watched Dark Cat Sword for Truth TWICE Do I even need to say it? Dont watch this anime please. This isnt even funny bad it wont even give you a new appreciation for any of your favorites this anime is just outright horrible in every conceivable way. Is this worse than Kennel Tokorozawa though? By technicality yes but I would say no. See I at least got some laughs out of how lazily made this show was I didnt laugh once throughout Kennel Green Green also didnt create a dog character that I ended up hating either. Regardless though Green Green is utter crap and I implore you all to heed my advice stay away from this monstrosity.
