C3

Cube x cursed x curious is one of the new series of the Fall 2011 season.  Does it ever disappoint.  The show's plot can be summed up with a list of genre tropes: a mysterious girl with mysterious powers, a young man living by himself, a doting childhood friend, uninspired character designs, an annoying catch phrase ("Noroizo!"  [I'll curse you]), and so on and so forth.

Said mysterious girl (named Fear) is left all alone to her own devices and manages to destroy a good portion of the house before the boy returns from school.  But somehow the boy ends up apologizing to her for all of the destruction SHE wrought. 

All in all the show is nonsensical when it isn't boring, and it is boring about 95% of the time since everything in it is derived from other equally trite series.

The only redeeming quality is has is Fear's hair.  It is a beautiful opalescent blue that seems to have its own inner luminescence.  It is sad to see such gorgeous hair on a character in a show that I will never watch again.  The production values were wasted on C3.

  1. it sounds to me like it's very cliched. hopefully there are a few good series this season since it mostly looks bad. i'm looking forward to gundam age, last exile and shakagan no shanna but hopefully something else new is intresting

  2. I also want to see Last Exile. I loved the original series. All I ever saw of Shakugan no Shana was the first series. Is the rest worth watching?
