Neo Yokio: Helena St. Tessero

With a lot of my favorite shows on mid-winter break for the season... I got a chance to marathon watch the animated series Neo Yokio on Netflix. The lead Female character Helena is barefoot quite a bit in it.
(These are from the first season of Neo Yokio Episodes 1-6)

The premise of Neo Yokio is that the main character Kaz Kaan is a magic exorcist living in a futuristic version of New York. Kaz comes from a family of Magistocrats (Mages that have used their magic power to work their way up in society). He is wealthy but in order to maintain his money and social status he has to use his powers to help others. Kaz's specialty is exorcising demons and his aunt hires him out to wealthy clients.

It's difficult to decide what to make of this series. I think the show is designed to satire a wealthy lifestyle so a lot of the characters are intended to annoy the audience a bit. What winds up happening though is that sometimes it makes the audience annoyed with the anime itself. For example the lead character (played by Jaden Smith) is incredibly spoiled. He has a robot butler and often tops the charts of most eligible bachelors but complains about petty things like his tuxedo being off color or his bachelor rank changing. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot when he talked to the point where I wasn't enjoying the show as much. 

On the plus side. I do like the character featured in this tribute a lot. Helena is a fashion blogger that Kaz saved in the first episode. She got possessed by a demon that Kaz was able to exorcise. Upon being freed she evaluated her life and didn't want to waste it dealing with something as superficial as fashion. She decides to become a bit of a Hakiko Mori keeping to her room and becoming less concerned with the outside world. I like her personality a lot. She has a dry sarcastic wit to her that makes you want to root for her. Sometimes she can go overboard with her views like wearing a hospital gown to a party or blowing up billboards out of protest but she's easily the most likable character in the series.

Ok everyone. That's all for now. As always though more to come soon!
