Series review: The Eccentric Family

     The last full series review I put together talked about P.A. Works' spring offering, Red Data Girl. More specifically, it showcased the idea of high concepts and ambition floundering under middling execution, leading to disappointment.

Today, however, we are tackling their summer offering, The Eccentric Family (Uchoten Kazoku), a show which did not have a strong amount of hype or excitement behind it that ended up being one of the most artful and enjoyable titles of not just the season, but the year.

Series review: Red Data Girl

     Every season, at least one show comes along that has the potential to impress, whether it would be due to a particularly interesting premise, an animation studio associated with quality work, or a staff who has been known to work well together in the past. However, for whatever reasons, that show does not fare well in execution, ending up either forgettable or just plain disappointing. The Spring 2013 season was no exception to this, having a few flops in and of itself. However, personally, one show perfectly encapsulates this idea: P.A. Works' offering, Red Data Girl.
