REVIEW Negative Positive Anglerhttps://anilist.co/anime/179919/NegativePositiveAngler/ https://srv.crunchyroll.com/cdncgi/image/fit=containformat=autoquality=85width=1200height=675/catalog/crunchyroll/bce280ebcbbf9c51a18e0ed57ce43ccf.jpg https://i.ur.com/pzxqRuI.gif Story/Genre : https://media1.tenor.com/m/rikikkslYxAAAAAC/hananegativepositiveangler.gif Negative Positive Angler is an anime that largely fails in its role as a DRAMA and further accentuates its role as a peach anime throughout the series to perfection. Im convinced that this anime didnt need either a story about a terminally ill guy or the slightest DRAMA especially when the latter is nonexistent in 80 of the anime. When you watch Negative Positive Angler you find yourself watching a peachy anime and easily forgetting that youre basically supposed to be experiencing something darker. Where the anime falters enormously is in the realism of its universe despite a rather lecherous starting plot I remind you that it still tries to commit suicide in the first 5 seconds... The anime remains extremely kind and goodnatured throughout the series and the characters to whom Tsunehiro owes money are rather sympathetic characters which I find rather stupid. Excuse the term but someone you borrow money from and dont pay back whos into gambling is never going to have that kind of personality and I dont think some people would hesitate to take advantage of it if they did. Then Tsunehiro gets all his debt paid by a guy hes just met? Okay I see that in this story everyone is generous and ready to help anyone they meet on the street. Anyway all that to say that the story despite being set in our world doesnt even manage to have a coherent universe. After that nothing about Tsunehiros illness until episode 10. So the first drama aspect arrives for 3 episodes a simple drama that works quite well in itself but it really feels like this anime wasnt meant to be a drama from the start. Even the ending in the end is rushed and uninteresting and in the end well remember the fishing parties more than a feeling of attachment to the characters in the face of a desperate situation. https://i.ur.com/pzxqRuI.gif Characters : https://media1.tenor.com/m/1eUzN6XZUFYAAAAd/ayukawahanahanaayukawa.gif The characters in this anime are trashy on the whole you may find them sympathetic but you wont love them to the point where you become attached to them or that they leave a lasting impression on you after the anime has aired. The anime tries to create a minimum of development to give them a bit of life but in the end it remains rather secondary to the plot and some characters could simply be removed from the story. Hana is basically the fishing specialist and wont really have any interest other than that during the anime. Kozue might as well not exist at all as this character serves no purpose like Fujishiro or any of the other characters on the convenience store team. Speaking of the group as a whole the groups atmosphere isnt crazy either I really find that the guy sometimes has nothing to do here and that the characters have virtually no interaction outside of simple work acquaintances except of course the relationship between Tsunehiro and Takaaki. https://i.ur.com/pzxqRuI.gif Art/Song Visuel: https://media1.tenor.com/m/AUfuLzYMqMAAAAC/ayukawahanahanaayukawa.gif The anime is frankly very bland and for an anime thats supposed to make the main characters want to live again its sincerely lacking in color. Its not ugly but its very basic. As for the music none of it stood out for me and the opening is really bad with 90 of its scenes copied and pasted from episode 1. https://i.ur.com/pzxqRuI.gif Conclusion : https://media1.tenor.com/m/470dyXc9xjYAAAAC/ayukawahanahanaayukawa.gif In conclusion this anime categorizes itself as DRAMA without actually being one. I recommend the anime for fishing enthusiasts looking for an anime developed around the activity but if youre looking for a touching story about a guy at the end of his life you can move on. Plenty of other anime tackle this subject far better than Negative Positive Angler. https://i.ur.com/pzxqRuI.gif Thank you for reading my review I hope you enjoyed it but I still invite you to watch the series to form your own opinion :
