Note: I watched this a few days prior to writing, so i may be a little hazy on a few details. And first review :D
I heard about this anime a long while back and in a fit of boredom and curiosity, i decided to take a look. Unfortunately the 2 hours i spent watching this could have been used to watch something more interesting.
The plot is fairly straight forward, the two main protagonists, Fam and Ihrie, are two female treasure hunters or "Ruin Explorers", on the quest to find the Ultimate Power
One of the main problems i had with this series is it's short length.
...
At only 4 episodes (each around 30 minutes, so around 2 hours in total), i feel that the story could have been much more interesting and memorable if they had more time to flesh out the characters and show us some more scenes of actual ruin exploring, which is surprisingly lacking in the second half of the series. It also doesn't help that the story is incredibly generic, the art style is nothing to write home about either. Just typical mid 90s anime style that is similar to Slayers.
The supporting cast is rather forgettable, and i found the antagonist to be very generic. The final battle is pretty forgettable and the ending is very bland.
The music, is unfortunately no different. The J-Pop intro didn't leave an impression on me at all and the rest of the soundtrack is...like i have been saying a lot in this review, generic and forgettable.
But one thing i can say is that Ihrie and Fam are fairly likeable protagonists that actually have weaknesses, something which i appreciate immensely and we should have seen more of them doing actual ruin exploring.
Overall, rather forgettable. But i can see some people possibly enjoying this more than i did. Fans of 90s anime and fantasy might get a kick out of this.
