  When I sat down to watch the Wallflower anime, I was a bit skeptical because it is labeled as a "Shoujo" title. Not that I haven't been known to like Shoujo... it's just that there are so many Shonen anime titles out there that I would rather watch, but only have so many hours in the day... Anyhoo, you guessed it, I loved it, so I am writing about it.

  I thought it a bit cold-hearted to start off the series with a sentence handed down to the main character of "owning a repulsive appearance". Ouch. - But it gets worse, she's surrounded by all these super popular and hot guys (that all are drawn like girls IMO) to further remind her of how lacking she is... But this is all necessary to either make you feel right at home (if you are like her) or make you feel comfortable with the truly dark and messed up nature she displays for the rest of the series. If you get the Wallflower DVD Box Set and you didn't bother to understand how it rolls before you got it... Be patient. Once you are in the right seat of observation, that's when the enjoyment begins.

  These hottie boys are charged with her complete make-over being a success or else they get evicted from their pad. If you're thinking this sounds like it might be an anime written by the likes of a cheap talk-show that's my fault... Do yourself a favor and watch the preview:




As much as I liked it, I must qualify that with the writing and the story were the only things that did it for me. It is a tad old so the 4:3 is something you have to live with and the character designs were just not swinging my way... Nonetheless, I still love you FUNimation for bringing me this anime dvd. A-Ree-O-Gato, shweet-art.
