Suzuka Episodes 1-5 Directed Hiroshi Fukutomi,
Produced by Studio Comet Review
When Yamato moves to Tokyo he
finds himself living in his aunt’s apartment complex. He soon meets a girl
named Suzuka and a girl he met once as a child named Honoka. Naturally romance
is in the air!
Suzuka is if nothing else a
decent romance thus far that being said it has little else going for it. The
voice acting is subpar especially for the male lead at least in the English dub.
Most of the series problems stem from the main character, Yamato, who just
really does little more than serve as the audience`s insert character. To be
fair at least a few member of the rest of the cast are far more interesting.
Outside of the ending credits
there`s really nothing interesting going on visually. The lack of fan service
for the most part is certainly a plus though. The series other main problem
aside from the male lead is that it seems to squarely focus on the romance which
would be fine except Yamato has the personality of a wall and thus the romance
alone cannot carry the series. In conclusion, Suzuka is very much a middle of
the road type of show. If pure romances with Gary-Stu self-insert characters is
your cup of tea this might be the series for you. If not, you might want to
search elsewhere for your entertainment.
Rating: 5/10
