Marmalade Boy

Jun 17, 2011

Possibly the most ridiculous drama you will ever see, Marmalade boy.  I'm currently rewatching it for the second time, and 'why?' you may ask, given my less than stellar rating review.  Honestly this series is pretty...meh.  The animation is truly old school, the main character Miki is weak and sets the woman's lib movement back decades even considering this anime is almost twenty years old.  Actually Miki's a right mean little thing, leading all these boys on, running away in tears at EVERY opportunity.  If I met this chick, I'd hate her.

The reason this drawn out old school series is worth a second watch is this: it's actually kind of funny, and definitely full of surprises.  It's been a while since I saw it and I find myself gasping out loud with the soap opera style plot twists and turns.  You'll find yourself with your mouth hanging open clicking for the next episode, and the next, and the next.
