Ah… KarmaKula. I’ve reserved judgements until now and I’m still not sure what I think. I enjoyed Ninjai, and was hoping for more of the same overall awesomeness. Alas, I’m a bit disappointed. It’s kind of like a slow motion train wreck. You want to stop, but you just keep on watching it.
First of all, let me say, it’s not all bad. In fact, there’s quite alot I like about it. The fight choreography is quite excellent and the costume and set design if very good as well, even if a bit too clean at times. The special effects are pretty well done for an independent group too.
What really bugs me though is the voice of the actor playing the KarmaKula. It annoys me sooo much. He gives his lines without much emotion, and it comes out so badly. I get that maybe he’s supposed to be this emotionless bad ass, but it just doesnt work for me. The bad dialogue he’s made to say doesn’t help much either.
Anyway, it’s been getting a little better every episode (the plot, not his bad dialogue and voice acting), so we’ll see how it goes.
