9/18/15 Anime Pick 4 : The Violinist of Hamelin
This one is old. Super old. But it's one of my all time favourites.
The Violinist is about Hamelin, a young man growing up in a small village with a best friend talking bird named Oboe. But if you couldn't tell by the horn sticking out of his friggin head, he's not completely normal.
One day his village is attacked by monsters and though he helps save the villagers by making use of his magical violin playing, he has no choice but to leave and search for a solution to the monsters that seem to be appearing everywhere. The barrier between the human world and the demon world is weakening and the demon king Bass is trying to break through to take back the world, it is up to halemin and his group of other magical instrument players/warriors to do what they can to stop this from happening! Except...well, you know, that big horn on his head, is he even human himself? *dramatic music*
This anime is a little bit low budget, in that there are some noticeably long still screens where animation obviously could just not be afforded, which is sad because
paris car service really, this anime is so great. But despite that, it's well worth the watch. The enemy designs are really interesting, for instance the dog warrior 'Guitar' who can draw from his sheath any of 1000 legendary swords. (He's probably my favourite character. )
If you dont mind an anime doing it's best to kick ass despite not having much money behind it, lend it your ears, lend it your eyes, give it a shot!
Seriously. Such awesome enemies!!
