An extremely well done piece of art that will be remembered for many years. The story is short, but is an enthralling tale of taking risks and meddling with dark forces to fulfill one's desires. As opposed to many other works, Akuma no Kimuraa-hen has a darker tone and fully embraces the use of demonic summoning and empowerment. The art is likewise captivating, the energy in the picture resonates with the music with what I would call one of the 'most hype' OSTs of the season. Unfortunately, it tried to be a little too experimental with a lack of dialogue which hurt the development ofthe characters. The art and story does help carry them to some extent, but the characters and their personalities are probably the weakest aspect. All in all, this was a highly enjoyable release.

1 Package of “Chikin Ramen” Noodles 2 1/2 Cups of Water 1 Friend who has connections with the occult 1 Flaming comet egg (sunny side up) And there you have it: one super-charged, bombastic, testosterone-filled, bowl of manly noodles that will have hair growing from every crevice of your body. Forget Jojo’s “BORING” adventure, and strap yourself in for noodle-laden mayhem. This duck is fed-up with the status quo of modern society, and why shouldn’t he be? Waiting two minutes to cook your noodles is a frickin’ outrage! “Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That.” Seriously! “Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That.” Thus, using hispowers of persuasion, Nissin’s duck integrates himself into the society of, “No More Waiting Two Minutes for Noodles, Inc.” You’d be hard-pressed to find an anime staff willing to completely change a character from a lovable protagonist to a misunderstood, anti-hero with moral qualms about the current norms of society — but they did it! Completely changing my perception of what’s possible in the medium. Overal: 8/10 It’s a fantastic anime, don’t get me wrong, one of my personal favorites, but the anime staff got too preachy with their own philosophies. If I need to explain myself further, then the anime went waaaaaayyyyy over your head, and there’s no hope for you. All I can say is: watch it again, and again, and four more times — that makes six, and that’s the devil’s number. Stay in school kids, unless you hate waiting two minutes for your noodles (I know you do!).
