Umi Monogatari ~Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto~ Episode 1

seastory11

Or simply Sea Story. I know nothing about this goddamn show besides its egregious use of tildes. We’re gonna try to give our live impressions of most of the summer’s new shows. You won’t find any episode recaps here because we at Moe Sucks largely find them to be a pointless exercise. Inside jokes follow and we’re not comedians so take it with a grain of salt.

The completely ordinary lead that all girls will undoubtedly fawn over, I'm sure.

~The End~

~The End~

The Fin: I demand a magical transformation sequence
The Fin: THEY PROMISED
E Minor: next ep
Nyoro~n :3: NEXT EP ONE OF THEM GROWS A SEA EEL

So it’s doubtful we’ll watch the next episode. Final thoughts?

E Minor: I think “kirei” was uttered about 8 fucking times throughout the whole show. About as often as the main girl giving her “O” face. That reminds me… I don’t even know her name–she’s utterly forgettable. Hell, the lead male hasn’t even said a word.

Nyoro~n :3: Minna, wakarimasen desuyo! Goddamn. My head seriously hurts. Gonna lie down.

The Fin: How can that possibly have been twenty minutes long? We don’t know shit about any of the characters or the plot. There is literally no reason for us to come back next week (we knew that already though).

So there you have it. Another quality anime. Here, have a fist.

Quality fucking animation, son!

But we’re just a bunch of bitter nerds here at Moe Sucks. Let’s pick one blog randomly off the tag search and see what they think.

The first episode is quite impressive primarily due Shichiro Kobayashi’s soft backgrounds and Ken Muramatsu’s tranquil music.

Priestess signing to the sea was my favorite scene. Although her voice is not very good, the landscape and music create a pleasant atmosphere :)

Unfortunately, character design does not fit my taste and prevents me from fully enjoying this anime. I am sure many other people will cover this show though because everything else is great. — Celestial Kitsune

    I watched this up to episode 3 recently and I can’t help but notice how much the blonde-haired lead in this show looks like Lisa from Blacksmith….That just kept bothering me, though that’s not all of why I stopped watching. They flipped the plot coin up in the air in episode 2 and it landed on tails. One of those, “if you don’t stop such-and-such person who can only act through monster-of-the-week attacks, the world will be covered in darkness,” kinds of stories. Of course now we have the reversal mode of that kind of story with Letter Bee (there have been others, I’m sure) showing us that the world being covered in darkness really isn’t that terrifying.

      You’re really digging through the summer season. I think this is the third old show you’ve commented on.

      I don’t really remember anything of Sea Story anymore. I just recall it had a very sleep-inducing vibe from the first episode.

        It’s a phase I go through whenever I finish a fairly long show. Plus, usually when going through a season, I’ll either forget about or completely overlook 2 or 3 shows and usually go back later and see a bit. That’s what happened here. For example, this season, I overlooked Bantorra, Miracle Train, Patissiere and Umineko. I’ll probably go back to one of them later, once I’ve built up my tolerance to graphic horror-type scenes.

            Then again, I can’t really say much regarding extreme violence after having watched all of the Hellsing OVAs…
