Show #140: My Love Story!

It's the springtime of youth and first romance and nowhere is that better exemplified than in the aptly titled My Love Story!

In a sea of samey-looking shoujo comics it's a treat to have one that has a more diverse view of love & attraction, and for it to be so exceptionally well realised as My Love Story is just the icing on the cake. Takeo and Rinko buck nearly all the well worn trends as they navigate the complexities of their first relationship, though the sugary sweetness and occasional dearth of dramatic stakes may prove challenging to some. Then again, being called TOO nice is hardly a major complaint against an otherwise outstanding show.

Part of a four series collaboration between Marvel and anime studio Madhouse, Wolverine made itself known to the world via an exquisitely animated trailer that looked to mark an excitingly different interpretation of the popular comic character. However the finished product was something else entirely; an incredibly bland action show with plodding direction, static set-pieces and a needlessly convoluted plot. This meeting of creative talents should have produced something of a far higher caliber and it is infuriating to see such potential wasted.
