Hikiko: Toshi densetsu monogatari

I knew from the first time I saw it that I wasn't going to love this animation – it looked like The Sims 2's little sister, and that alone brought it down in my eyes. Then I thought, well, maybe the story will be worth something. Plus, Hikiko looked really creepy in the first few moments. And I really liked the voice of the main protagonist, so I kept watching until the end. Bored. The story has a sort of surprising resolution, but still... no, I just didn't like it. For those truly boring moments I think even recommending it would just be a waste of time that could be spent on "better" nonsense. IMHO it's not worth watching at all, you won't discover anything revelatory, you won't be moved by the graphics, and the music definitely won’t fire you up; the only thing that sounded pretty decent was the ending song, but if you don't like jpop, even that won't save the situation.
