The opening episodes had me hooked, but the last three episodes left a very bitter aftertaste which overshadowed the intriguing opening. The anime is set in what appears to be a kind of dystopia with carnivores conditioned via their schooling to resist their natural urges and ingrained behaviour. There is never a direct punishment or threat in what appears to be a somewhat authoritarian system,

A lot of the characters are surprisingly unlikable too. This is a shame because the world they inhabit is a very interesting canvass on which to tell a potentially compelling story. To start Louis/Rouis is very japanese with this sort of ...

Conceptually very interesting with a really cool thematic angle, but the implementation and overall storyline leave a lot to be desired. It's a shame because this has so much potential that was missed. It's crammed full of intriguing ideas and fascinating themes, but is unable to pull it altogether and deliver something cohesive. A beautiful but ultimately confused mess.

The art/aesthetic look is good, the music is haunting and atmospheric, but the story and characters are terribly weak; to the point where it hurts the series and detracts from the viewer's enjoyment. The strange thing about this is they had an intriguing paranormal premise helmed by ...

Lazy and uninspired sci-fi movie riff in 13 episodes featuring a hollow story with no redeeming qualities.

This genuinely feels like an attempt to cash-in on the Shin Chan brand and not much else. It should be noted that there are a few lazy sci-fi references to justify the scenario but not much more than that (ex.: Ripley fighting the alien queen in a loader is recreated). This is a shame since I really like what they were doing with the main series, thus this just feels like a gargantuan waste of potential.

The story is absolutely absurd and makes no sense even by ...

'GTA San Andreas: The Anime'

This is an unbelievably stylish "rule of cool" film with a cast of exotic characters and a crazy story that doesn't make much sense. So turn your brain off, strap in and enjoy the crazy rollercoaster ride of super stylish action.

As with all action flicks the story is more of an afterthought than anything else. The opening scenario was great and the set up with a flashback as the cold open was well done. However the film never goes anywhere with any of this despite the very dramatic and tense opening. It feels like a bunch of storyboards or comic panels ...

Preliminary (27/51 eps)
A surprisingly awful show with a cast of ridiculously unlikable characters. I am frankly stunned that this is considered a Battle-Shonen masterpiece and one of the best anime of its era. The Elric brothers are remarkably off-putting egoists outdone only by the terrible military drones that work alongside them and their awful childhood friend Winry, who is frankly unbearable and makes every episode she's in worse.

The entire series is bloated with unenjoyable filler which amounts to a different adventure every episode involving a villain of the week sponsored by the actual arch villain Lust. The conspiracy at the centre of the plot seems fairly ...
