Short and thoroughly Innocent
Starts like Gameboys, but ends much more teenagery than young adult. However, for the first 6 episodes or so, Boss did come off as very pushy and more than a little creepy. Somehow the dream sequence where he was extra creepy actually made him less so from then on out.
Boss and all the supporting actors were great. The guy playing Tono, on the other hand, looked like he was about to fall asleep at any moment, even while delivering his lines. Other people seemed to enjoy his portrayal of the character, so I'll chalk this up to personal preference.
I'll agree with the other reviewer that the ending needed a few more episodes. It was incredibly abrupt. Also, very anticlimactic, lol! Otherwise, the pacing was pretty good and the lack of length really cut out a lot of unnecessary drama with which the longer shows usually get bogged down. Very refreshing!
My ratings tend to err on the side of harsh, but a 6.0 falls into the range of "I don't fully regret watching this" and "The elements of what I liked and what I disliked balanced out." I probably won't rewatch. Some others won't agree with that opinion, so give the show a shot! You never know when you'll find your diamond in the rough.
P.S. I rarely register background music, so please disregard the rating for that.
