Couple of things: They really set up that bitch fight quickly and effectively with that hatred  The soundtrack for battles sounds like a retro game (reminds me of X-Men Mutant Apocalypse) Doom Pistol sound around 12 minutes in  |

Kinda picked this one on a whim, so I hope it's at least decent. Saw some slick bits of animation and the written reviews seemed positive so thought I'd give it a look.

It didn't feel that way for me. The ordering of the story and its structure was poorly designed. Either have 4 OVAs and not have the 5th and 6th, or should have incorporated 5th and 6th into the first four, mix it up with 6 OVAs (you'll see what I'm talking about once you get to 5). This affected character development. Plus the story was rather mediocre. |

Despite the simple premise, I think I like the works of Magic User's Club better which has a crossover with Shamanic Princess once. The animation is also done by Triangle Staff (at least a good portion) although credit isn't really given by MAL.
OVA....not sure about the TV.

Visually this series has some nice moments. The super giant eyes that was real prominent in the 90s is a bit of a turnoff, but for the most part I'm finding the style appealing.

This affected character development. Plus the story was rather mediocre. Yeah that was weird. Episode 4 felt pretty climatic, so I was wondering what the last 2 episodes would be about, but then they just end up being what should have been the start of the series. It's not like Haruhi either where shuffling events felt purposeful and watching in chronological changes the flow of the entire show. This really felt like they just took the first 2 episodes and tacked them onto the end. I did enjoy the look of it though and there were some nicely animated sequences. |

This really felt like they just took the first 2 episodes and tacked them onto the end. I did enjoy the look of it though and there were some nicely animated sequences. Yeah the animation on a couple scenes are nice but the choreography of those scenes didn't entice me. As for the last 2 episodes, i felt like they thought of the story after the first episode but was too much of a hassle to incorporate given the production of the other episodes and the planning already done in place probably and didn't want to invest any longer in doing that. I think they could have released a separate ovas and be a prequel to the show and it wouldn't bother me as much despite the contents of those ovas to be lacking Never watched haruhi in airing order since kissanime ordered it chronologically but it didn't affect my enjoyment much until endless eight. |
