Anime 42451 Mario Kirby Meisaku Video

I stumbled upon this just to quench my Kirby addiction.

I recommend this if you're learning Japanese since it helps if you're maybe in the early stages of learning kanji.

Since this is an educational video for 1st graders and there technically isn't any animation it's just a PowerPoint presentation, I wouldn't classify this as an Anime.

Anyways from my perspective as a Native Japanese Speaker, I would say that if I were in elementary I would have liked watching this as a kid at maybe the public library VHS section. It's a little too childish for an adult to be watching now, but if you're a Nintendo ... and Kirby enjoyer like myself and are in the first stages of learning Kanji. I would definitely recommend this to you.

This is just weird. It's an old educational video that I only learned of because I got a notification about its existence. But is it any good? No, it's an educational video from like the 80s/90s. Yes, I will review this as an anime and not as an educational tool, because it is more funny that way.

Story is, there, I guess, so I have to give it a 2 for at least existing. It's about as barebones as you can get, but honestly who cares?

The art isn't anything mind blowing, but it's pretty neat to look at if you're a fan of Mario or Kirby.

Sound ... is about the quality of an old commercial, with voice actors that just aren't good (aside from the narrator, who is a narrator and does that decently I guess.) Music also sounds like something from an old commercial, and a bad one at that.

If you're a fan of Mario or Kirby, you might get some enjoyment from this, though not much more than you would get from looking at a few screenshots. I guess it could also be enjoyed in an ironic sense, or maybe if you're high.

Overall, it's not very good. But if you have about 20 minutes to kill, there's not much reason not to. But don't expect much, it's an old Japanese educational video. Still better than Mars Of Destruction though.
