She's called KONO Ayumi, which is a girl's +name, she's part of a group of girls, she's clearly drawn with a +female figure, but it's "Mister Kono" and "he", both in the dubbing +and in the subtitles. I don't want to think the error came from her +first line being «Do you love me?» directed at another girl. I doubt +the translation will be fixed before the commercial release, +though. I'd also like to know why the cameras that record everything +everyone does are called "storage devices" (a fansub has them as +"image collection devices", which sounds like a better translation), +but that's just a minor nit. + +Then, the setting. Sometime in the future. There's been peace +everywhere for about a century. People tent to interact mainly +on-line, so schools have to convince pupils to have actual in person +contact. Also, food shortages have been eliminated by a company that +makes synthetic meat from plant matter (no, don't ask why they can't +just eat plants). But, violence and murder are still around. + +There's a series of murders, and four girls get involved: Yuuko gets +nearly killed, Mio wants to know what happened, Ayumi has witnessed +the scene, Myao has helped save Yuuko, Hazuki (our point-of-view +character) is just dragged into the whole mess because she's part of +the same "in-person communication group" as the first two girls. Their +teacher / supervisor / whatever is asked to cooperate with the +investigation by a shifty figure in the police; her boyfriend (?) is +also part of the investigation. A few things happen: while trying to +discover who's the killer, and to avoid getting killed, the girls +practise a dance routine from an old video recording (no, I have no +idea why, it's totally unrelated to the plot); Mio hacks into the +surveillance network, and near the end she goes around inside a robot; +Myao kicks ass (she's Chinese, so of course she's good at martial +arts); Ayumi rambles philosophically; Hazuki is generically +encouraging; there's explosions and more deaths; there's a vague +explanation at the end, where we discover that the title ("werewolves" +in French) comes from the fact that some people will behave like +beasts for whatever reason. + +The drawings, animation, and music are not nearly good enough to make +up for the shoddy setting and plot. I feel, honestly, that I've wasted +a hundred minutes watching this. diff --git a/src/anime/review/loups-garous/du2html.xsl b/src/anime/review/loups-garous/du2html.xsl new file mode 120000 index 0000000..371d03d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/anime/review/loups-garous/du2html.xsl @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +../../../../templates/du2html-review.xsl \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
