The story of “Beauty and the Beast” is a classic reason. The story of a fragile girl falling in love with a dangerous monster is an irresistible escapist fantasy, no matter how many ways it is told. This monster wants to eat me There is a twist: this beauty and her beast are both teenage girls, and beauty actually wants to be eaten!
The global premiere of this expected fall anime is all thanks to the dazzling execution of the first episode. Its classical melancholy soundtrack, powerful sound performance, and a central concept made up of the charm and danger of the ocean all blend perfectly, which makes this rare Yuri comic adaptation guarantee a guaranteed place on my essential list of opinions.
This monster wants to eat meThe slogan is “A girl seeking death waiting for the sea.” This is the story of Hinako (by Queen Uda), a high school student living in the picturesque seaside town of Ehime, the creator SinekavaIt’s also my hometown. Hinako is lonely after her parents and brothers die still severely. She said poetically: “That day, my heart went deep into the sea and I’ve been in trouble since then.” At least until she met the manic elf monster girl.
Hinako doesn’t need to tell the audience about her plight, as the anime shows a big impact. Just as Hinako’s classmates chatted happily, their voices seemed to echo, and were far away to Hinako, who was displayed underwater throughout her life. OARFISH drifted lazily in the classroom window. Wait for foot animals to cut down around the sole locker. When she was submerged in the underwater world, no one could reach Hinako until she met a mysterious girl from a white man. The girl rescued Hinako from a water grave and introduced herself as a shiori (by Yui Ishikawa). “I came here to eat you,” Shiriri told Hinako, sprinkled with blood, adorned with her white dress, but it’s not the time to say “itadakimasu”. Shiori can turn her skin into scales and nails into claws, and he wants to protect Hinako from smaller Yokai until her flesh and blood mature into something more delicious. Hinako looks from her perspective at the opportunity to die as mercy.
Music – A mixture of strings, gentle piano and female voices is as troublesome as a sirens. The character design is universal (slim, willow girl), but in their eyes it shows an emotional world – hinako is frustrated by the sad darkness, Shiori is frustrated by the glimmer of secrets. Animation studio, Studio Lingsrecently engaged in Yuri is my job!I can see the show’s soft palette and warm lighting hints, but This monster wants to eat me The animation has stronger animations, especially in Shiori’s huge transformation and Hinako’s action.
