Movie Reviews of Girls High Collection, Vol. 1-3
Movie Review: Cute & Real Teen Life
Summary: 5 Stars
"Girl's High" is a wonderful anime; not because it shows fanservice (which it does), but because it acurately depicts some true developmental issues that girls go through in the teen years whether they live in Japan or elsewhere. There are some things that regular anime watchers will recognize as regular high school events such as sports day, joining clubs, getting big-time school physicals, and more. But "Girl's High" is deeper than that. Issues such as first-time sex, being so truly concerned for the safety of your friend that you would be willing to kick your boyfriend to the curb, getting a "monthly" at the most inconvenient time imaginable, etc. These are just some of the "real-life" issues that are dealt with in this anime (if you are willing to look past the lingerie) and remember that this story was originally autobiographical. Hopefully, we as a culture have come a long way from the 1966 Hayley Mill "The Trouble With Angels" http://www.amazon.com/Trouble-Angels-Rosalind-Russell/dp/B0000CDRW2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1214025613&sr=1-1 where loads of girls were also running around in their shortie nighties at an all girls boarding school. I'm sure that was scandalous to some then but thankfully most stuck around long enough for the great story it told of dedication, friendship, and ultimately becoming an adult. Hopefully, this funny, crisply-drawn anime will attract the same crowd who loved all of the Beverly Cleary books that so honestly portrayed childhood for her character "Margret" and many other kids who read about her.
