Synopsis ~

Nai searches for someone important to him, with only an abandoned bracelet as a clue. Gareki steals and pick-pockets to get by from day to day. The two meet in a strange mansion where they are set-up, and soon become wanted criminals by military security operatives. When Nai and Gareki find themselves desperate in a hopeless predicament, they encounter none other than the country's most powerful defense organization—"Circus"!!

Dope says ~

Karneval, some people literally will think of a circus, well you’re not far off from it. Except this series handles a lot of majestic and fantasy themes. It is a very mysterious show that has about 10 volumes on going still which I need to catch up on of course but let’s dissect it for now.

What I enjoyed about Karneval is the name let’s be honest Its written different, it’s also focusing heavily on two characters one being Nai and other Gareki. Nai is of course the main who happens to be in the show an animal and not human although he has a human body. Yeah, even I found that a bit hilarious, it explained a lot about his behavior.

The story isn’t straight forward in fact, it should have continued but it didn’t. It has a lot of plots where it’s less involved with Nai and more to do with other people. However character wise I would say that I really enjoyed all of them in general.

The characters all have a different unique personality, which are divided in first ship to second ship. Of course are characters which are main is in the second ship.  They were initially great and had seemed cool but wasn’t in depth.

The art work, I really am very fond of it. I loved the colours the sparkles the very flashy moments. I really enjoyed Tsukomo’s act at the beginning with the entire acrobatic feel. What I found cute was they always do a show for disturbing the city to make it up them. So in reality they are kind of a circus when you think about it but have hidden agenda behind it. The visuals of the show are probably the only thing that saved the Anime for me.

The sound is very average, I really found the background music subtle, it really wasn’t out there and it didn’t really make me feel much. But I really enjoyed the ending of the song!

Dopes dislikes ~

Again I wasn’t a fan of the 13 episode style, I thought from a really good Manga like that it could have really expanded but it failed. The characters are not original when you watch it later on, at first I did think they were unique but not so much when you realise each of them actually do have a certain stereotype to it.

Dopes Concludes ~

From what I can say I was heavily expecting that Karneval would be decent and it was with its visual and fight scenes. But what it lacked was the plot they couldn’t portray it very well and could have which is quite sad. Because in the Manga we do really go into depth in the Manga of what Karneval is about and of course NAI! There is so much that goes on that it momentarily confuses us! But it is thoroughly enjoyable, so I would recommend watching a quick tongue in cheek show and not expecting too much like I did at first.  It’s a truly hit and miss show that you know depends on how you prefer it.  I guess for now I will rely on the Manga to really find out more about the show! The really part of the Anime was all the BISHOUNEN! I heart most of them they looked so good!
