Yamiyo

"Yumiyo" is the second ending song to Dororo, and it's alright. The song itself is a formulaic slow Japanese Pop song, which is sung relatively well. On repeat listens the singer's voice begins to come off as obnoxious. The instrumental is.... interesting? Not bad or good interesting, but interesting nonetheless. The blend of soft violin and guitar with some SICK trap beats doesn't work all that well. The video is, as all animated music videos seem to be, generic, bland, uninteresting, and overall bad. One or two images stand out as memorable but apart from those it's like watching a 12 year old's edgy fantasy. Peoplelook to the sky, people grab the sun, and I shrank into my chair. On top of this, the animation is just about what I was expecting, that being bad. I'm not asking for Ghibli level quality from a music video, but at least make it easy to fuckin watch. I don't want to have my eyes hurting, that's no good. Not interesting visually, edge fest. Slightly interesting instrumentally, though overall bland and formulaic. The singer is annoying and I can't listen to this song without tuning out of his voice. It four minutes long, who the fuck cares anyway. 3/10

I never did a review before and I never imagined myself doing a review for a 4 minutes video, but whatever. We are talking about Eve, who is definitively one of the best artist in the j-popculture these days, and he's really better than average artists. I think the dororo team made the best choice calling him out for this ED theme. He didn't disappointed me with this song, he really did a great work, indeed. I particularly enjoyed the ED itself, so I had great expectations for the Official MV of the song. If you're a follower of eve, you have probably watched his MVs, andalmost each one is a unique work of art in every detail, in my honest opinion, so when I saw the official MV i was a little disappointed, not just because it didn't fit the "classical Eve-type MV", actually I think it's okay to make a different type of MV for a song of an anime project, so I understand that choice. But I didn't enjoyed it so far: that's the only reason I'm rating this as a 8 instead of a 10 in the overall. Don't get me wrong, I really love the song, but here we're not rating only the audio file, but even the MV, and i personally didn't enjoyed it as the other Eve's MVs. I hope I didn't too much mistakes while writing, I'm not english
