Complete Series
(2013).
This was a cute anime
with a lot of more girls. Shinobu or Shino for short, is an
energetic 15-year-old girl who love English culture, but most of all
blonde hair girls. Alice is Shino's friend and love Japanese
culture, but she gets a bit jealous when other girls shows interest
in Shino. Aya is a is Shino's classmate, she is smart and has a
thing for Yoko. Yoko is a tomboyish girl which the girls admires.
Karen is Alice's childhood friend who is half Japanese, she comes
from a rich family. Together, they all play together sharing daily
lives, romance, fantasy and dreams.
This was a cute anime,
it proves if you are a cute girl you can get away with anything. It
shows the love/friendship relationship between young girls, and their
love for international relationships and foreign cultures. Not bad
overall.
The anamorphically
enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo are as
good as this set is going to get in this format, though Blu-ray fans
should know it is available in that format too. Extras include clean
opening and closing animations and trailers.
