Each character has his or her unique problems - problems that aren't too unlike what kids face today.

Characters often think aloud about painful experiences in their past, and related flashbacks and evocative music add to the drama.
#Zatch bell season 2 recap series
The series isn't just about violence - although there's plenty of that, with constant battles involving spells and weapons - but also about the relatable challenges and questions of identity that the characters face. The show's focus on relationships and the ability to trust a partner distinguishes it from many other anime adaptations. Definitely recommend this, with all my heart, to kids of all ages. All the characters were lovable and funny, and all the book-burning moments were heartbreaking. If you don’t understand this, you don’t understand the entire premise of the show.

That's on top of the fact that this series is action/adventure – if you’re not in favor of cartoon violence, bar your child from those genres entirely.Īs for the person who mentioned the "breasts" song – why is that relevant if it's only in the Japanese dub? Besides the fact that it is culturally relative, we don't hear it in the American version, so why is it "wrong"?Īnd another thing: when a book is burned, the character does NOT die – he or she is sent back to the "mamodo" (contrast this with "demon," another ridiculous accusation from the official review) realm. Really, no positive messages?Īs for the user reviews, it's too violent, seriously? The "violence" in this series consists of flashes of light and the occasional pained groan. The official review of Zatch Bell on this site is outrageous.
