Hi everybody, I guess this is my first time writing a review so I hope It wont take toomuch to understand what I want to say. Let's split the score as it's always done:

__STORY__ 8

The story its not the best point of this anime, but its not bad at all. It deals with three teenagers who have special powers and are really troublesome, who lived in different places and ages, and are summoned to an amazing world. There, they will have to defend a fallen community in order to achieve theirs objectives. From that point, there is a line like story, even ... if it doesnt feel like a storyline, its not episodic at all, similar to SAO (Little arcs that together seems like an advance to the story). The story is really simple, there are not, almost great developments to the character attitudes; but what its interesting maybe is the world like background created for the story (The mixture with myths, legends and all that stuff).


__ART__ 9

This was amazing, the character desings were really interesting, from the MC and Heroines, to the Bad Guys, they all feel like a new own style from the anime. There are other animes like feel similar, but this one is really cool. I like to focus on the movements because they were amazing the action sequences were alike, you could feel the strength of every hit and even the speed of every step. The paisages were the most amazing thing of the art, from the city design to the nature design or even the inside of the buildings, they were all worthy of mentioning.

__SOUND__9

Even if I wasnt very fond of the opening soundtrack, I must admit that the sound cant envy other good animes. The seiyuus really did their job, some sad sequences, to some happy sequences. All the voice acting seemed really realistic for me, and of course the "combat" and "chill out" sound were also amazing.


__CHARACTER__9

This was maybe the best thing, for god's sake. Arent you tired of the clumsy MC? The guy who forgot his guts in his mom's house? You aren't going to get any of these in this anime, neither the typical badass who is afraid to be "sexual active" or the typical cold badass. This anime in some aspects were quite steorotypical, but in the characters, I guess there was quite innovation. The heroines of course were really interesting, but they didnt reach MC level. There are other characters quite interesting, like Shiroyasha or the Letizia, but, even the bad guys have a little of personality (I mean this is a shonen you cant expect the seinen complex level of personality, but it wasnt bad for a shonen). The only thing that avoids a score of 10 in this apart, is the development, it was too short for a real development, if they put another season on the factory I guess they'll focus a little more on this.

__ENJOYMENT__9

I'm not very fond of typical shonen, and this one has some treats of them, so I wondered why I had so much fun when I finished it. My conclusions are really simple, because even if you are not looking for these, even if you are more on the seinen thing, or the shojo thing or the josei thing, I bet that if you watch this anime, you wont regret it. I'm kinda tired othe typical shonen that I wont try because, God damn, it has like 1023012041204012 episodes, and everybody has told you the end. So even if you are not in this kinda shonen staff, you'll be interested at least in try it. This is not a masterpiece, this is not for example LoGH, GTO, or any of the great masterpieces recognize by everyone, and it wont pass to the history, but, definitely, It's worthy of the 240 minutes that you'll use to see it.

__OVERALL__9

This point is just to clarify something, why if I think of it as amazing and the art was good, the story alike, the sound too and the characters even better, this is not a 10. Mainly, because a personal opinion, and thats: A shonen with a romance background cant be a masterpiece. This was, from my point of view, the lack of this anime, the failure. I know this goal is to get to the teenagers, with action fantasy and all that stuff. But If it had romance, this anime could really have been a masterpiece, but god knows if there will be another season, and maybe if the producer will then put some romance on it. I'll be hoping for it.

First, even If I have scored this with 3, I wont be so rough in my review. Mainly because this is a genre that I dont like, from the begining. But, if you are asking what its like is a mixture between Idol Master and AKB, thats basicly Musical Shojo. I've seen different kind of series, and this is possibly the worst of the genre.

It hasnt any type of romance or drama, if there are two or three labels to describe this one They'd be: Friendship, Idol, Shojo.

So If you dont like, one of them I really suggest u not to see it, it ... sucks. But for Idol Master and others fans, give it a try.

Firstly, this anime is not for everybody, this is a Seinen,and a real one, this is not only about Blood and more blood, like everybody thinks a Seinen must have. This is the story of a simple man, an amazing man fighting for survive and for a better life to his family. It sounds kind of heroic, but it's exactly like that.

If you have watched GTO, and you've liked it, you'll love this one. I'll analyze some parts:

__________Story__________

The story is amazing, you'll like every single part of it, because you have a lot of stories in it. You only can watch the businessman story, the ... flashbacks, the romance story, the conspiracy...seriously, amazing. It's one of the best plot I've ever seen in an anime, why? Because it's realistic, there are no angels, demons, mages or wizards, there is just one thing which keeps the world moving: Money. And this single man, will fight with only his reputation and his hardworking.

___________Art_____________

This is not a new series, It has some bad feeling on the art. Furthermore, the way the characters are designed, is very interesting, they look like real japanese, I dont usually like the anime where there at least five blond guys who are "japanese"...

__________Sound_____________

Anything remarkable at it, not bad, not excellent. It wont disturb you.

___________Characters_____________

Here is the story relies it power. Like I said, THIS IS A SEINEN, we dont have a laim protagonist and pathetic who is a wimp, but we dont have either the perfect guy... We have one of the best main characters I've ever seen, it's almost at the level of Onizuka. Why? He keeps changing, improving or getting worse, he is wrong or right, he has his own moral but he also knows when to be quiet...He is a guy who despite losing his lover, follows liking women, and he treats them as a real man should not as a wimp. (In this, he wins over Onizuka). He has a patternal side also...Seriously, amazing.
On the other side, we have several badass, a manipulating "Oba sama", an amazing female lover (OH MY GOD, I felt in love with her when I see her), a boy who acts as a boy, a funny workmate, a lot of funny ex-riders...
For me the story is a 10 only because of its complex net of characters.


The enjoyment is something subjective as everything else, but what I can assure you is : This is not a waste of time, this is worthy.
And for me is:

An amazing Anime.
