"I can't believe this."
Problem Children is one of those back pocket anime's. All of the factors that make a fantastic show have come together, the stars and planets have aligned perfectly, and in their wake, my favorite anime of all time was contrived. This show is poles apart from other anime of it's time. I legitimately tried to find one thing i disliked about this show, and i came up with nothing. Problem Children is literally absolutely ideal.
The show is basically about a group of literally bad-ass kids that are summoned to a new world, where games reign supreme. The games in this show
...
are so well thought out, that i can not even compare it to No Game No Life. The games and lead characters are much more developed then say, Sora or Shiro, who are left completely bland in a world with so much potential. With a strong supporting cast featuring Jack O Lantern, Mikenoko the cat, and DEEEEAAAANNN, enjoyers of No Game No Life will find this show to be far superior in every way possible.
Story: 10.5/10
The story, oh boy where do i begin. The plot in Problem Children is completely fleshed out, leaving nothing to be desired by the viewer. The flow is seamless, there is never a part of the plot that moves too quickly, and all of the fabulous twists and turns stay true to the plot and the world. The three main characters, You, Izayoi, and Asuka are summoned to a new world by a mysterious and attractive girl named Black Bunny. Upon arrival, they must band together in various ways to form a community that can stand on its own two feet.
Games 12/10
The game aspect is where this show truly shines, although please bear in mind that all aspects shine, i just had to pick one point to "rule them all" (lol). The games range from card games with intense strategic decisions, to battles against literal gods, to griffon races with more then just their lives on the line, their pride will also be on the line! I don't want to spoil any of the games from this anime, but trust me, this is some of the best gaming related anime content available on the web.
Art 11/10
Ok, I have a good story to tell for this one. First off, the art is out of this world (literally, they are in a different world). The characters and designs are astounding, and characters such as Mikenoko, Dean, and Black Bunny will have designs, graphics, and effects that you have never seen before. So i have this friend who is a pretty good artists, and i told her to draw some of these Problem Children characters for fan-art. Long story short, the art in this anime was on such a high level, that my artist friend didn't even have the skill level required to drawn them! That is just crazy and mind blowing because she draws pretty good Dragonball Z and Bleach, and Naruto.
Sound 10/10
The music, good god the music is bliss to my ears. I have an ipod soundtrack dedicated to all the songs from this anime. I convinced my bowling league to play these songs on repeat for league nights, and the other bowlers love it. It works great to play games to this gaming anime sound track. Basically, any game lover will love to play games to these music tracks. I know i sure do!
The voices are another part that just adds to this anime greatness. Black Bunny, along with the entire cast have fantastic voice overs. I would put these voice overs on par or better then Dog Days. (which is fan-effing-tastic)
Character 11.2/10
at least 7 of my top 10 favorite characters come from this anime. The characters are brilliant, and developed so well you might actually think some are really real. the conversations and humor work so well together, that this is the best and most funniest made show possible.
Enjoyment 88/10
If you couldnt tell allready, this show is EM-EH-ZING. The 4 hours that this show brought to me were possibly the best four hours of my life, not counting my trip to Florida last year. I would say any one that rated No Game No Life a 3 or higher will probably give this show a 10.
Overall 10/10
A perfect anime. Many say that such a thing is impossible to create, but this anime has gone and proooved everyone wrong. the fact tat only 50k people have watched this is a shame to us all. This anime should be regarded as THE anime to watch, and the anime to bring new viewers in, like death note or Dragon Ball Z are now. Ive shown this show to 12 other people, and everyone of them agrees that this is amaizng. Words are not good enough to describe this show, so the only thing left to do is to get off your butt, sit down, and watch this anime
