This is my first review, so bear with me! :)
Here we go...
Story (8)
Personally, I'm a big fantasy fan, so I was really excited to try Neo Angelique Abyss, and I don't feel let down at all. Of course, the whole "demonic monsters" thing isn't new, but I found their approach to it rather unique, because of the multiple new aspects that I noticed while watching. The character development in the show (as far as background story goes) is very good. All of the main characters get some sort of look back into their past, and some of them get a detailed explanation. The progression of
...
the story is something I find intersting because it sometimes doesn't seem to be moving, but in the end you realize that it's all connected, so that seems like a success to me. Many people find the story predictable, and I have to agree. Neo Angelique is indeed predictable, but not the whole time. There are, as in most shows, moments where you go "Duh! I saw that coming!" but also times when you can't help but be surprised. All in all, I liked the story of NAA.
Art (8)
Ok, so I'm definitely no expert when it comes to this area, but I liked the art. It's not really a unique art style if you ask me, but there are many things that I think are quite unique to this show, like the Thanatos and the detailed scenery. Like I said, I'm certainly not an expert, but I think the art in NAA deserves the score I gave.
Sound (7)
Again, no expert, but I gave this score because I find any of the sound aspects unique at all. Nothing was really undesirable or anything, but I just didn't think there was really anything special about it.
Character(10)
I love the character aspects of NAA! I love all the characters themselves (not just for the bishounen aspect, mind you...), and I love some of the unique stories that come with them. As I said before, the character development for some of the characters is just great, and all of the characters have something that makes them different from all the rest, be it backstories, style, or just flat-out personality. Not to mention, the way all the characters interact with one another truly shows their differences as well as similarites. Honestly, I really did love the characters and like aspects of this show.
Enjoyment(10)
I really loved watching this anime! It was fun, light-hearted, and at the same time, rather deep and emotional. No, the romantic side didn't progress as much as the fangirl side of me wanted it to, but that honestly didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. I, of course, have my own specific tastes that differ from many, but NAA fit my tastes better than I actually thought it would. So, I'll say it again, I loved this anime!
Overall(8)
I think NAA deserves this score because, despite some of the things that I saw as flaws, I still couldn't stop watching. I may see it differently from someone else, but I think that this is a good show. No, probably not one of the ones to go down in history as a top anime or anything, but still, it's a good watch that I would recommend to anyone. :)
Thank you for reading (AKA suffering through...) my first (rather long...) review! I hope it helps point you to a really great show! :)
