Arakawa Under the Bridge Premium Edition, Season 1 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo) Review

First,to be clear, I love this anime. It's cute and hilarious but still manages to get under your skin, just as the riverbed-dwellers get under Recruit's skin and why he will try his hardest to protect his new home from any threat, even if it means facing down his overbearing father for the first time in his life.

All of the characters on this show are awesome. you are never left with a dull moment when anyone is on the screen. from the kappa(?) village chief to the militant "Sister"(actually a male former mercenary)everyone impresses heavily upon the viewer from their introductory scene and the straight man "Recruit" will not stop telling you just how wrong it all is. The VA for "Recruit" Ko Ichimoya is the same guy who played the teacher on "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei"(another of Studio SHAFT's productions), so he has plenty of experience yelling at crazy people and sounding great while doing it. Funny thing is, he may be just as crazy as they are!

The show is subbed only, so if you just HAVE to hear the English, don't get it. The dvd+bluray package does include a commentary track by the cast and crew for every episode, something which NEVER happens with anime dvd collections and offers entertaining insight into the show.

The Episodes are split into short chapters which make for fast-paced viewing, but most times the plot remains consistent throughout the episode itself. They still come packaged in 20-minute chunks with great opening and Ending OPs that will be buzzing in your ears for days even if you can't understand Japanese.

What starts as just an experiment in the bizarre becomes a genuinely heartfelt story about a community of people who ostracize themselves from society not because they could not live there if they wished, but for the inner peace offered by the loving community under the bridge. There's even a love story thrown in there too!
