Ladies who love one another.

8.5/10

Honestly I didn’t expect to like this show this much. When I started watching it, it didn’t impress me or anything, but with every passing episode I found myself enjoying it. The story itself isn’t that original, but they develop it in a way you just don’t expect, and you can’t help but love it. For example, the first season gave us  a heartbreaking story of siblings love that I fell for, and the second gave us another siblings story that was developing through the show and reached the climax. Each story showed the same - sibling love- but in different ways, and when you thought White and Black were dramatic enough, there was Michella to show you more.

 One of the things that stood to me was the humor. Usually japanese humor is kind of not for everyone, but with this show I laughed a lot and loved the funny scenes.

Also this show has an english touch that gives a somewhat elegant touch to enjoy. The music was different and worked well with what was happening. The endings and openings of both seasons were cool and suited this anime a lot.

When talking about characters, I think it’s a major reason of why this show is so amazing. Each character has its own light, and when their design seems not that interesting, their backstory fills it completely. They are all well built and have their developed personality. I love how they show their background and make the viewer understand more why and how they are.

To me Zapp is an awesome character. Is the classic womanizer, but this time he’s dumb and cool at the same time. He was there to save Leo and to be funny. Together with Chain they were the ones who gave the show its funny, dumb and awesome touch. And every character is awesome too, don’t get me wrong. The episode of KK was fab, the power of freezing with the feet of Steve is nuts, Gilbert is lovely, Klaus is a cutie in a suit, Sonic is the best anime animal ever... but Zapp and Chain’s relationship made it even better.

But, even tho I love this anime, I can’t give it more than 8.5, even if I want to. This was an awesome show, but it lacks something. I think I wish they developed what they had more and made Hellsman Lot more wide and diverse with stories. Zed deserved more attention and Klaus didn’t really get much backstory.
