![]() Guin Saga is wonderfully animated, probably the best of the season. One has to wonder how Satelight are going to pull this off, especially if they try to do this in too few episodes. This is quite clearly an anime of epic proportions. I have a message for you: This is how you make a fantasy anime! You first create your wildly complicated world complete with evil nations, mystical prophecies, dangerous creatures and even it’s own God, Yarn. For pure, edge of your seat excitement and drama, this seems to be the place to go. There lies my only real problem with the episode, I think I saw one pair of breasts in the entire episode, and the porn mag doesn’t count. This anime seems to have been dismissed in some quarters as fangirl fodder and the sheer amount of bishies do certainly bring about that conclusion. Deen have actually pulled some damn good animation out for this series, the fight scenes are as slick as anything this season. It also seems to have taken Geass’s love for the slightly over-the-top dramatics, complete with suitable background music and camera angles. The uniforms certainly seemed to be taken straight from Area 11, as do the character designs. They had packed so much into this first episode without once feeling rushed.įirst off, this is very Geass-esque. I felt like I had just watched something hour long. Going into it with very little expectations, I was treated to probably the best first episode all season. This time round, the shock hit of the season appears to be 07 Ghost. There’s one of these every season and the Geass vibes should’ve given it away. One has amazing animation and based upon a set of best-selling novels and the other has dull animation and based off a porn game. I think I can only handle one fantasy series a season, so it was between this and Guin Saga. Twelve Kingdoms bored me silly and I never what was the big whoop about Moribito. It is convinced it’s an epic fantasy tale, like it’s sister series, Utawarerumonononono.mono.īut I amn’t really a fan of fantasy. ![]() ![]() For all the poor animation earlier, the scene with that devil billowing out of the chest was really well done and, despite all the dullness beforehand, left me wanting to see what happens next. ![]() Now you have a recipe for don’t watch this. Toss in some a hopelessly corny scene where one character gets trapped behind a rockfall and yells ‘go on without me’. Then the villain was just so generically evil (I like inflicting pain upon little children rawr rawr etc.). First, the attempt to animate events in the dark wsa poorly done. Well, there were a lot of bad signs here. Although don’t go buying any stock in Pandora Hearts just yet. I am not a big fan of XEBEC (which is a nice way of saying ‘they are rubbish’) but if they play their cards right with this they could be onto something. Now the characters seemed much more interesting, the tale about the Abyss much more relevant and the characters conversations now actually meant a lot more. Suddenly Pandora Hearts got mysterious and creepy. The creepy sequence where our hero was transported to another world was fantastically done and kept you on your toes as you just weren’t sure what was going on or what was real.Īfter that it went back to rich old family house stuff but the injection of mystery had taken it’s toll. All very boring stuff to be honest.īut whatever the manager said to them at half time worked a treat. The first half was some rich family with not-so-funny characters making humorous faces with a bit of mystery about some Abyss thing that involved chains. Toss in the fact that legal streaming seems to be taking hold, it’s a good time to be an anime fan.Ī = If you watch anything this season, watch thisī = Very good, sometimes surprisingly so.Ĭ = If you have the time, you should check this outĭ = Not my kind of thing, I won’t be watching thisīeing a soccer fan I’m going to use the age old cliche term to describe this episode. My penultimate first impressions post and with this group of anime the year takes a much brighter look as I realise exactly how many high quality anime are out at the moment.
