Kid's word. Teenagers are different, but there is a common feature: the focus on women and everything related to them. And if you're a teenager in the '50s, the focus is on muzzling. What is it, finding out the relationship with the boys is much more important than the attention of girls, because there are many girls, and reputation is one. Hiroshi and Toru have to fight especially often, because they are the gas station authors in the area. Then some gopnik will want to check them for fee, then the quarrelsome girls will jeer that you are not the coolest bullies, here is Vanya Yerokhin from Yotoputano station - here he is. In short, adventures are full of pockets, and here the guys are not up to algebra with geometry.
You could talk about the characters for a very long time, because I want to tell not only about the main characters, but also about passengers for one episode. All personalities are bright, no furniture, screens, background, NPC, you get it. Alas, only 8 episodes, but each character as a native, I want to watch him again and again. So let's talk about the basics: bullies Toru and Hiroshi, their six Nobo and classmate Junka.
The duet of bullies is like green tea and black: in some ways twins, and somewhere so different. Hiroshi is a more proud nature, a handsome man is confident, impulsive and hot, it lights a fire in women's hearts, but it brings so many problems that mother does not grieve. The Torah is colder and more calculating, but only a little bit. He also likes to rush with a checker (crossed out) fist at the tank, but before that he will stand and think a little with a trademark wooden expression. And how talented they both are, how they will start to chase, so even if you stop, even fall, it is even more pleasant for them to breed people than to fight with them. Nobo tries to stay closer to Thor, so he is calmer, although he often drags him into problems. And who is Junka, the famous group sang: "You are so strict, apparently, you know a lot, it is not easy to approach you, your look is deeper than the abyss, your tongue is sharper than the blade, you carry yourself high."
The series elevates romance, violence and adventure to the absolute, to philosophy, to meaning. At the same time, the language will not turn to classify it either as a crime, or even as a teenage drama. It's a collection of details about the lives of the neighborhood kids, the days of our lives, so to speak. It doesn't feel like it's linear tales: it has to be this now, then there's a breakthrough, and the McGuffin is that -- no, basically B-Bop High School lives outside the laws of any genres, it's just life embellished -- but only slightly, laughed at -- and here's not a little bit. This applies not only to the plot, but also to dialogue. Here, holding the bazaar does not inflame the appetite for a fight, the exchange of affectionate words and there are main dishes. '33 - Shaw? - What are you shocking? - and the blow' - nothing like that, and only then, perhaps, it will begin to muzzle.
Once Hiroshi went to an unfamiliar city to look for a girl that he liked at the station, and Toru and Nobo went to some legendary atelier to sew pants so that they would look clearly in the area. Then their paths merged into such a mess that neither lie nor compose. What are you saying, boy? Don't they do that anymore? Yes, more to say, and have not done before, this is a single flash, the series is unique, he is so one. And very short, so savor it.
