Overhated
15 July 2023
High Guardian Spice has been a show that was on my mind for months and now that I've finally watched it I've gotta say it's pretty decent I was fully expecting this show to suck hard right at the first episode since people were making such a big deal out of it but as I watched it to me it felt more like an ordinary cartoon you'd see on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon but more on that later. I personally really like the idea about young girls going to an academy so they can become strong guardians however it could've been better told but I guess there's only so much you can do with just 12 episodes. The characters are pretty entertaining especially the main ones, though I especially like the relationship between Rosemary and Sage. The voices for some of the characters seem out of place like was Crunchyroll too lazy to hire voice actors who could properly voice the appropriate ages? The early episodes aren't really that good but around episode 7 is when I was starting to enjoy it but episode 9 in particular is my favorite. I especially appreciate how violent HGS is though I never expected it considering how lighthearted it was in the beginning. Going back to what I said earlier I think this is more of a cartoon than an anime an if it were just that maybe it wouldn't get dragged on so much. Honestly I want to see HGS return for a second season especially after that end credits scene of the last episode of season one hopefully this time it'll have a better writing team that's not sexist....but who am I kidding this show's reputation has been driven into the ground thanks to constant hate it got but hey I could dream at least.
