As a first post for this new anime blog what better place to start than one of the best new
shows of the summer season.
Coyote Ragtime Show is apparently the first anime fully produced by ufotable, whom anyone thats been in anime for awhile will remember for thier awesome
work on Futakoi Alternative aka. that badass action with the hot twins.
Now for this post I’ll just introduce the characters and setting. In deph reviews will begin with ep 03 (this is kind of a catch up and introduction for me to blogging for me.)
We begin by meeting our titillating herione Angelica, whom it turns out is not the protagonast but we’ll get back to that. She’s apparently come to the planet Sandvil to hunt for Mister, a galactic criminal called coyotes in the show.
She is met by young genki Chelsea of the local police and lead to a prison where it is believed Mister has been hiding for the last year. Shortly after arriving at the prison it is attacked by Madam Marciano’s 12 robotic gothloli sisters, who are hellbent on killing Mister. ( yes you heard me right. )
The gothloli sisters go one to shoot, stab, slice, murder, maim, and blow up everything in the prison. They are lead by the eternally pissed off April. ( yes all thier names our months. Awesome isn’t it? )
After Angelica shoots at one of the sisters to protect the prison warden, she is safed from being kung fu’d to death by Mister, who fights simultaneously with a rocket launcher and rifle.
Mister ingeniously shuts off the magnetic field protecting the prison from roaming sandworms that then rampage across the prison, killing all the sisters and letting Mister get away. ( not really as thier robots. )
Thus begins Ep 02, where we find a more clean shaven Mister off to ru kong to get his loli adopted daughter. Man that sounds wrong.
Enter Franca aka. hell under 4 feet. After single handedly stopping a bar fight with a well time frying pan to the head, she meets the returned Mister with the almighty lolislap.
It turns out Franca’s now dead father was the king of pirates (hello one piece) and left the location of his treasure in a necklace Franca now has. And that treasure is on a planet that will be nuked out of existance in a week. Franca is classic tsundere, believing Mister should just take the necklace and leave her alone, not realizing Mister cares about her, not the necklace.
However cutting thier reunion short are the 12 sisters who also happen to want the necklace. Awesome gunfights ensue and Mister and Franca end up hanging off a building, Franca imploring Mister to let her drop. But Mister won’t have it and lets Franca know he loves her (as a daughter I’m sure) and they both drop off together. Luckily they are bothed saved by Mister’s henchmen in thier ship right under the sister’s robotic noses.
Thus ends Ep 02 with Franca joining Mister to find the treasure.
My review cannot do justice to how awesome this show is. If you love action, awesome characters, and some melodrama in between definatly check this out if you are able. If anything just check it for the awesome opening that has a nice retro feel to it (or at least that’s what I’m told.)
Now I leave you with SUPER SOUL!!!!!

Heh, welcome to blogging!
Decent review, by the way. (I need to get around to making a review section on my blog, too..)
Stumbled across this little post via Technarati — and CRS seems like lots of fun, and while the storyline seems a bit cliché (though one doens’t really care in an action themed anime), the visials are beautiful.
Anywho, enjoyed the post — hope to see some more reviews in the future.
