Farewell, Girls
Opening: "Jolly Jolly" by JiLL-Decoy association
A likeable "makes me think of new york"-song, with a touch of swing!
The animation is just awesome fascinating, with it's moving, laminar coloration.
Short Summary:
The story takes place in New York. There's a strange case of five girls' suicide. The day Liz is found as the next victim the four girls Kate, Rose, Claire and Rachel can't remember what they did last night. They are attending the same rather strict school and know each other, although they are not friends. All of them are shocked after hearing about Liz dead - the girl was missing. Especially Kate is devastaed, it seems liz was her best friend. She walks around lonley and sad when suddenly butterflies appear. Only she and the other three mentioned girls can see them and meet accidentaly. All four notice they can't remember anything about last night, when a ugly woman and a guy appear to tell them they actually died last night. Of course they are in a state of shock, but the situation gets even worse when a man in a suit starts to run towards them and the woman wants them to kill him.
My opinion:
Lika most of the time I was not informed what this show is going to be about...so when the opening started I was prepared for some girl clothes shopping hip anime and not for something intriguing like that! Damn, taht show rocks from the first second till the last. You are confrontated with a thrilling plot with many secrets and an awesome cliffhanger at the end.
The animation is experimental, in some scenes too two-dimensional for my taste, but still interesting. Also the character design stands out from everything I've seen so far, closest may be Gilgamesh. I haven't decided wether I like all of the noses yet, bus Rose's is very cute ^^
The only thing really out of place was Kate's little musical song...is this a Disney movie, or what?
Ending: "Rock The LM.C" by LM.C
The ending animation is like the rest of the show suprising and totally rocks. Go and watch it yourself!
