Churasan Season 4

Yet another great sequelc though I have to admit, Ifm a bit torn with this one. In other words, it gave me a few causes for complaint.

To start with, not all the characters returned. The most obvious were Keitatsu and Haruka. They managed to explain Keitatsufs absence in the storyline (and it was somewhat convincing), but they didnft at all explain Harukafs. Was she that dispensable?

Also, some of the main characters reverted into unnecessary minor characters. A clear example of this was Shokofs character. In the original series, and in the two sequels, her character held considerable important content and benefited the overall plot. In this sequel, she was nothing more than a prop. She only had a handful of lines and would not have been missed if she had not been cast into the story. This disappointed me, but I can understand how it happened. The original series was 156 episodes, and the sequels are 6 episodes and 5 episodes (respectively), so it was easier to focus on each character and provide a flow of development for each. With this fourth sequel only 2 episodes long, not every character could be expressed. I understand this. But stillc

Alrighty, now for the grand stuff (which, in my opinion, makes up for the negatives). Finally, a storyline that focuses on Mariya and Yoko! This sequel was perhaps the most heart-warming. The attention was taken off Eri a little bit and given to the two characters that have perhaps affected Erifs life the most. This sequel was sad, but in a good way, and reminded me (the viewer) that although Life can be filled with positive things, it changes nonetheless.

There was a hint of a suggestion at the end of the sequel that we havenft seen the last of Churasan, so herefs hoping!
