The Shinanobe High School Exchange Program

Shinanobe High School Dimensional Exchange Program

Review for the First Night : Battlefield of Confusion

[ First Night | Second Night & Third Night | Fourth Night & Fifth Night | Sixth Night & Seventh Night ]

Under Shinanobe High School, an ancient shrine has been discovered, supposedly by Katsuhiko Jinai. Many of his classmates believe him to be lying about this and his class presidentsy election victory, and his sister Nanami a long with Makoto Mizuhara are out to impeach him. Jinai is fed up with being out done by Makoto and decides to get his life long rival out of the impeachment scene the night before the trial. When he nearly catches Makoto, the entire school freezes except for Makoto. Makoto wondering what has happened, wanders into the shrine. Here he meets a women who claims to know him. She is weak and decides to use whatever strength she has left to transport him to El-Hazard.

Exposition seems to be slow in every series, but at least we get a pretty good idea of what the characters will be like. With Jinai's annoying voice and attitude he should make a descent villain. Nanami being a foil for her brother will probably work out well and a long with the drunk gym teacher, all of the characters seem to make for an interesting supporting cast to surround Makoto the character we're all suppose to relate to. The cast is mixed up in a similar style as Tenchi Muyo! (the directors are the same) but a greater draw is that the series will have a running story instead of the sitcom style TM. A long with all this is great animation and excellent soundtrack which makes it a must by for any anime fan.
