| Yeah.. this whole episode was great Karas kinda like.. finished once I started to like it even more >:( But it looked like there's something not dealt with after the credits... They showed someone standing infront of that crazy metal mask from the hospital.. |
| There are some over-the-top production values and artwork here! |
 |
| Nice ending, but the best fight was the first one. I certainily wouldn't mind more of it though. |
| Overall, I didn't like this anime all that much. I feel like the story could have been told in a better way. The animation and music in this anime were damn good though. |
 |
| great animation mediocre plot decent sound 7/10 Couple of things: Yurine's VA's voice doesn't match her appearance Otoha's VA could be better |
 |
| The finishing episode was so-so. The classical track sounded soooooooooo well. Nue died in a kinda badass fashion. And about the post-credits scene - I knew there was something about that boot not disintegrating, lol. 1. Characters. It's rare that I don't like at least one character from given anime, but this aspect totally sucks in Karasu. 2. Atmosphere. +1. Well, I gotta admit that there was some kind of atmosphere and it wasn't bad. 3. OST. +1. There were some good tracks, I guess. 4. Animation. +1. One of the best battle animations I've ever seen and we're talking about 2005 anime here, which is pretty amazing! The animation was also very detailed overall, except for the characters' designs. 5. Background story. Nothing great imo. 6. Storyline. Well it wasn't good either. 7. Ending. Very shallow ending, too good I wasn't having any expectations about it. 8. Fight scenes. +1. One of the better points of this anime. The fight scenes were really complex, something I don't see often. Well, they were too wildcat, but I guess it's OK to watch such an anime once in a while. 9. Drama. I wasn't moved at any time except for a moment during the butchery scenes in ep 5. 10. Overall affect. I wasn't expecting anything from this show so I'm not much disappointed, but really I feel like I'm gonna forget about this anime the moment I finish my post. I'm not impressed of it, not even the slightest bit. Overall score: 4/10. It was a while since I scored anime so low. |

| Mm, I thought these episodes collectively gained about a rough 6.5/10 for my liking. The OST/Soundtrack and the fight scenes were the highlights even given the first 3 minutes from the first episode. The plot is very confusing though and ending felt mediocre. Top quality anime, shit plot. I guess it was more about exploring the themes within the plot that would bring out the enjoyment of this series. |
 |
| This could have been a lot better. |
| MORE RANDOM SHIT AGAIN That was basically Japan's Batman. It was so good that it was horrible. Certainly not Satou Keichi's best, but he definitely got better with Bahamut. 5/10 |
| Pretty solid ending of a pretty great anime I must say! QUite liked the overall setting and atmosphere a lot, and the animation and especially CGI sure amazed me for it being from 2005! All in all I had a great watch! |
 |
| Loved this ova because it had a full story even though short( by episode not ep length). in the end Eko wanted Yurine to help him after what he did to that Yurine, bad guys are something else sometimes. The female karas was not much help in the fight, considering she talked a lot. Its a pity I will never see it again, I wished it was a TV series with more than 24 EPs. I think they did well with animation too considering it was in 2005, I mean I've seen anime made recently and they have poor animation skills *cough* ( kino the animated series). I had closure in story wise, every one found happiness including the child Otoha saved and that raincoat snail youkai lived. But at the of the credits there was that person's shadow looking at that head ( so it meant production was to set but fell through). 9/10 is my gift to it because I enjoyed it. |

| great anime, awesome fight scenes. The plot and all the stuff regarding yurine and karas were confusing but little by little I got the general idea. Solid ending with yoshiko and the police guy going to the countryside. 8/10 |

| The story was nowhere near complicated enough for the amount of confusion it created while being told. Overall, an okay series. Production values were very good, especially for the time but I didn't find the CGI to be as impressive as everyone else found it. There were some excellent 2-D animation shots that made me wonder how this series would've looked like in full 2-D. If only... 6/10. |
| Not the most original story compared to todays standards but the way this was all executed and presented in this curious CGI fashion seemed worthwhile enough to me, although the way the characters were introduced early on was a bit too shallow and sloppy. The final left nothing to be desired and went all out.. 7/10. |

| All in all I think the last 2-3 epis were better than the first 3. The CGI was quite good and fight scenes enjoyable but sadly, especially in the early episodes, they told the story in a weird confusing way. Could have been better if told differently. Still this was a pretty decent ending all things considered. |
 |
| I'm watching again this 2005 anime, old but gold. 8/10 |
 |
| The first episode was better (maybe because Nakamura actually storyboarded that one), but this is a decent finish. The other Karas girl is cute. |
| The story was pretty lackluster |
 |
| Damn, those other Karas looks cool, especially the one on black armor in sitting position. That guy's daughter in the portrait is so pretty! Too bad he killed her. He should've given her to me instead. I would've treated her nice. hehe Eko is so relatable. If I did turn into a Karas, I'll end up like him too. Humans truly are corrupt creatures and must be controlled by force! I will force a utopia just like what he tried to do. I have zero patience for human activity. However, at the same time I feel bad for the weaker youkai if they disappear. Hmm, maybe being patient is still the best way? tsk. I've been looking forward to that! screen time for the waifu! At least Japanese cities looks nice compared to a lot of cities in the other parts of the world that I would love to utterly destroy if given the chance! It started out slow and ended up really good. I like the theme they were going for here. 8/10 |
| This could have worked so much better as a full on series. I honestly wanted more of this and thought we'd get to see the other Karas in action aswell but oh well. This was a fun watch with some good fights and did remind me a bit of Batman near the end. Protecting his city and all that. |
