messages of love

Tegami Bachi (テガミバチ Letter Bee Tegamibachi^?, lit. "Letter Bee") is a shōnen mangaseries by Hiroyuki Asada. I first heard about this anime from the non stop group message of my good friend KENNETH and also from Kuya THEREI. Coincidentally when I was looking for a good movie to watch on the television, I saw this anime on ANIMAX. I immediately took the opportunity of watching this episode and find it cute. Of course it was my first time to watch this kind of anime so I don't know exactly the plot, again i seek for the help of my good friend google and this is what he told me.

Plot

The story takes place in the land of AmberGround, a place of perpetual night only partially illuminated by an artificial sun. Lag Seeing works as a "Letter Bee" (delivery boy) at the "Bee Hive" (a delivery service), with his Dingo, Niche, and her "pet", Steak, traveling with him. As a Letter Bee, Lag's job is entrusted to deliver letters and packages from town to town while avoiding Amberground's deadliest hazard — a species of giant armored insect known as Gaichuu, who attempt to feed off the "heart" that reside within these letters and packages.

I love the fact that they're going to deliver messages and have to avoid some mischief that feed on the hearts that reside within the letters. I think the plot is cute because no matter how many obstacles came their way they would do (the messengers) whatever they can to deliver the letter.

Here's some facts about this anime I caught from google and other site.

Anime

Carlos Santos of Anime News Network reviewed the first 6 episodes of Tegami Bachi. He commented that the series "may be one of the last few adventure series that is genuinely about adventure" and "an adventure with a unique vibe". Santos went on to say how the series as a whole isn't like typical adventure series, which deal with "the triumphs and tragedies of having the best sword", as it is built on "the triumphs and tragedies of the human heart". A negative point he said was about the animation - describing the Gaichuu as "plastic-looking CGI beasts looking woefully out of place among the scenery". However, Santos complimented the series' art direction by saying that "the artistry is far more commendable: the blend of feudal and industrial eras results in a unique visual aesthetic". Overall, Santos gave a positive review of the first 6 episodes of Tegami Bachi with an overall grade of B-.^[10]
