Thinking about it and maybe a bit of an odd bird by
reviewing the show. After all Gargoyle of the Yoshinagas is a show I'm pretty
much expecting that of you really were thinking of seeing and really isn't much
more than mediocre site really can claim this as a gym and or make some rage
filled hate review of it.

Review Gargoyle of
the Yoshinagas is the story of a somewhat ordinary family consisting of a
rather tomboyish girl named Futaba (In fact I think about an episode or two
passed before I realized she was a girl) her slightly feminine older brother
Kazumi and their two parents. One day Futaba wins a strange stone statue in the local
lottery. Much to everyone's surprise this statue can talk and move about
(although it is never mobile in the animation) for it is an alchemical creation
called gargoyle or Gar kun for short.
A phantom thief riding a robot, just like most slice of life shows |
If I would have to give this show a genre classification I
would call it a slice of life show with a hefty side of comedy. However this
isn't a normal slice of life show as the titular character gargoyle is only the
first of many supernatural elements that inhabit this show. In reality there is
also a splash of action in this show although I wouldn't really call this
should show in action show. Except for a couple of episodes that pick up from
the previous episode and a finale which brings a lot of dangling elements
together the show is mostly episodic.
Futaba and her friends |
As it is a mostly a slice of life show perhaps the most
important thing is the characters. Gargoyle to start off with is this stalwart
defender of this show's characters and even if he doesn't have the most complex
of personalities he is an honorable sword and therefore quite likable. This is
contrasted with the other main character for top may be a bit of local pretty
girl but as it turns out she is no usually do the right thing and therefore he
can really cater. Many of the other characters have less of a presence or only
there for a couple of episodes but they make an interesting mix as well.
Overall I consider this a decent show not a great show but
something you might not pass up if for some weird reason you ever get the
chance to watch this.
Rating The bronze Onsakumaru (Shinobu 2x2) for being a
decent show that I watch almost entirely to Hear Norio Wakamoto.
