Keonyn's Anime

SO FAR: It's been an interesting series so far; although I must admit my fondness for it has dropped a bit as it had gone on. It had a strong start with the great score and the atmosphere that really reminded me of the MMO Neocron and the movie Mothman Prophecies. It can be a chore to sit through at times as it progresses very slowly and has a tendency of being quite cryptic. The characters are great though and the score has retained its quality; only the pacing seems to be a fault. I still can't get enough of the opening either as it is such an amazing song accompanied by drearily beautiful imagery.

SEEN: Episodes 1-16. (I have the whole series, I just haven't gotten around to finishing it yet.)

SO FAR: This really feels like quite a departure from the first FMP season; which I guess is the point considering this is more or less a comedy based spin-off. It doesn't really advance the story or provide too much character development but it is certainly good for a laugh in the same way the comedy episodes of the first season were, only in this case they're all comedy episodes. I'm personally enjoying it although I can understand if others might not since it doesn't really advance the story any, nor does it have any serious action elements to it.

SEEN: Episodes 1-6.

SO FAR: I'm enjoying it, but admittedly not enough to keep my focus on it as I've only purchased two volumes so far and have opted to purchase other titles over this one. Whether or not I can even finish it now is in question due to the fact Geneon has shut down US distribution and this is one of the few series I started that I did not rush order the rest to finish. I still intend to finish the series someday if I can, so I'll leave it in "seen some" for now.

SEEN: Episodes 1-8.

SO FAR: Not bad for a simple series designed to be fun, but not great either. It is still interesting enough to likely bring me to watch a few more episodes when I get a chance and am in the mood for this type of series.

SEEN: Episode 1.

SO FAR: A rather impressive series as it is very heartfelt and generally innocent with some stellar production values. It tends to border on the ludicrous at times, but in a series of this nature that's not that unexpected. It certainly has some potential and while it's a great series I don't quite think it's lived up to all its potential yet. Sadly it may end up a casualty of the loss of Geneon as I still have not picked up the remainder of the volumes and they are getting harder to find.

SEEN: Episodes 1-4.

SO FAR: This is one confusing series thus far, but intriguing at the same time. It's not a fast paced or action packed series, but it is an interesting one and that makes up for it. The story hasn't really been put together but all the elements have certainly shown up. Until the story really comes together I can't judge it too effectively yet.

SEEN: Episodes 1-12. (Picked up the rest with the TRSI ADV sale. Will finish this soon.)

SO FAR: Color me unimpressed. Considering the hype and praise this series seems to often get I figured it was a sure bet and actually did something I normally don't do and downloaded some episodes. Don't get me wrong, it's "good" to "decent", but I just don't honestly feel it's anything beyond that. I've seen far better as far as characters, stories and style goes. I intend to finish it, but not anytime soon.

SEEN: Episodes 1-8.

SO FAR: Not a bad series although it had its cliche moments and a few repetitive themes that felt a bit overdone; self-detonation anyone? The story is interesting though, even if some of the dialog and story elements are bad, and I still like the characters and look of the artwork. Unfortunately I stopped buying anime for awhile when this was being released and as a result I've fallen a bit behind and it's not the easiest title to find anymore. I still plan to order the rest eventually, but honestly it's just not high on my priorities list right now and will have to wait until I'm caught up on other series.

SEEN: Episodes 1-35.

SO FAR: Well, so far this is a pretty unique series. It's a hard story to follow at this point, the basics are easy enough to understand, but a lot of the theories the story borrows from(regarding multiple dimensions) add a unique twist to it that tends to make some aspects harder to fully understand. The fact that the nature of the two main groups from the other dimension hasn't been explained also complicates matters some, and the character that the series is named after hasn't really been introduced or explained either. The music is nicely done, sometimes it seems a little over the top, but it's much better than some of the dull or nearly non-existent music that many other titles have. The art style is different, but not in a bad way, and the animation is pretty smooth. The series also incorporates a number of CG elements, a few of which are definitely noticeable as CG, but most blend pretty seemlessly. My one major complaint about the series is the slow release rate, 3 months apart rather than the typical 2.

SEEN: Episodes 1-10.

SO FAR: A well done and interesting series with a whole lot of elements going for it. It gets a tad dull at times and I'm having a hard time caring much about the characters. The animation and art quality also leaves a bit to be desired at times and the music and voice acting is unremarkable.

SEEN: Episodes 1-5.

SO FAR: I really like the story, although the reluctant savior and his dislike of the characters who I liked the most got to be a bit irritating. The villains up to this point have been incredibly stupid and annoying and have really failed at giving this anime much of a good/evil feel since the evil side has been nothing but incompetent twits thus far. The artwork and animation though is quite good so far, although from what I hear there's a temporary quality reduction in the next volume during episode 7. I haven't picked it up myself yet and the friend I have that is hasn't bought much recently. The limited editions don't seem worth the money to me and would only make this series quite expensive in the end if you picked up the limited edition for every single release.

SEEN: Episodes 1-4.

SO FAR:I picked up this series because I'd been watching far too many deep and/or dark series and wanted something that was just fun to watch. I heard this series was pretty much your typical anime with some action, girls and comedy mixed in so I decided to give it a shot to fill that void. Imagine my surprise when it turns out to have its own layer of dark elements and story depth to it. Don't get me wrong, this is no "Haibane Renmei" or "Mushi-Shi", but there's still quite a bit of drama, dark aspects and depth to it. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.

SEEN: Episodes 1-14.

SO FAR: Not a bad series, but I have to say so far I don't like Vash all that much. His antics and behavior get a little old and his character gets a little irritating which is never a good thing for a lead. The setting is interesting and the animation is pretty good and I do like most of the rest of the cast. Having a lead that gets annoying though is always a major problem no matter how good the rest of the cast is though.

SEEN: Episodes 1-7.
