Anime: World Conquest Zvezda Plot
My rating: 6.3/10

Zvezda's a anime series about Kate Hoshimiya's, the small loli in front of the picture, plan to "conquer the world". Now I just finished watching Zvezda today and I've decided not to write a review on it simply because I can summarize it in one line. It's shit, compared to a lot of anime standards that is. It has a ton of problems on it that I can't even begin to talk about. Instead ranting though, I'm going to be talking about another topic that I can use Zvezda as an example of. That topic is "Expectations".
 

You see my fellow chaps, I actually really liked Zvezda. Yeap, loved it even. All simply because I kept my expectations extremely low. So low that it can only get uphill from here. I went in it not expecting to be amazed how they would come up with the most well thought out diabolical plot to enslave the world like Code Geass. Instead I simply watched it because of one of the characters I saw on the poster, Natasha. Now Natasha's the blonde, scantily-clad, witch-looking lady bellow and she has two of my "tastes" *cough*fetishes*cough* in a waifu. That would be pettanko (DFC) and megane (glasses). Long story short, I watched Zvezda just to watch her waltz around the series in her scanty clothes only. Yeah, you heard right. MY PANTS CHOSE THIS ANIME FOR ME. I didn't care about how about how awful the plot was nor how they forced their ideals onto their audience. Veni, Vidi, Vici simply just for Natasha. Nevertheless to say I ended up enjoying the series.

 

So what's my point? My point is that expectations can affect the way you perceive not just anime but just about anything from books to movies. Expecting the time of your life on something is risky but taking things with a grain of salt allows you to let things inch their way uphill. Thanks for reading :D
