CAT FIGHT! Finished watching Platonic Heart yesterday and feel seriously let down after the last episode. With there only being 5 episodes the lead up to the end was good but the ending was shit. But then really what exactly do you expect from an H-game turned anime. Actually when I started watching it I didn't know that it started life as an H-game but it does make since. After all this is actually worse than Ikkitousen in regards to clothing being ripped off during battles. There was a naked girl if not more in every episode.
The plot was pretty easy the Platonic Heart is a girls only championship underground fighting ring that girls compete in to gain pieces of the Jeweled Platonic Heart so that they can be the winner and be granted their wish. Enter our main girl Aye a simple high school girl who ends up befriending a young girl who she sees is in a fight with another woman. She defeats the other woman and finds out about the Platonic Heart and the girls part ways being friends. The next day arrives and the new friend is now where to be found so Aye enters the Platonic Heart battles to find out what happened to her new friend. Several fight later we get to the meat and potatoes as to what the real deal is. See that's the thing first episode Introduction the second third and fourth episodes are all just fights and a tiny bit of plot development. Then the last episode and the huge epic let down.
Yeah apparently the whole stupid thing was just a massive ruse of sorts by Aye's supposed friends who actually just wanted revenge on her and her mother for what Aye's parents did to their parents. OK, then enter Aye's mom who easily dispatches all of the supposed friends after they shot Aye and promise to torture her to death. The mom pretty much tells us that she did what she did because the grandparents of the friends did the same exact thing to her parents. Confused yet? So mom blows up the place that they are all in and sends her daughter Aye off to live a "normal" life and I assume the mother perishes with the friends in the building but before that she picks up Aye's phone and sees that there is still a piece missing to the Platonic Heart and we cut to the friend's mother opening the door with a look of utter shock on her face...cut to credits. OK so that last little part was pretty cool but by no means makes up for the rest of the shit episode.
Even though the show wasn't EPIC awesomeness it was entertaining enough to keep watching up until that last episode were I really felt let down. If it is licensed it here I'd probably rent it again on Netflix but don't think I'd bother buying it unless it was dirt ass cheap (it's anime so you know it wont be) but this was only part of a larger marketing force as the anime was only part of a larger mixed media franchise released at the same time including the H-game you can read more about that and look at even more pretty pictures of Aye and her combat buddies here at Sankaku Complex.
