~~~~~~~~SPOILERS~~~~~~~
***first "review" I've ever done.
As I write this review I have currently just finished that last episode aired for this anime which would be episode 12 and I have some things I'd like to say about Ga-Rei Zero, both how I felt about the journey through it and how I think it fairs as an anime as a whole (they are different).
...
Do you enjoy action?
Do you enjoy light romance?
Do you enjoy a tear jerking experience?
If you said yes to any of the above this is a MUST watch!
MAIN CONTENT (LESS GIBBERISH) SPOILER FREE!
Ga-Rei Zero is about two girls who work for a organization that fights against the supernatural/ghosts, monsters and all the sorts is what you can guess from reading the synopsis, is that all it has to offer? if you think surely not then you would be correct, Ga-Rei Zero is not so much about monster fighting at all its much more about the relationships between two girls Yomi and Kagura who both find each other by fate and connect because of there experiences and the past, it helps them to understand each other in which they become unofficial sisters and go through life working for this organization, but if you read the synopsis something goes horribly wrong in one of there missions, I can't go much more into detail unless I want to spoil things important so if you wish to read more and don't care about spoilers read more below!
SCORES
Story 8/10 - The story as I'm sure you already know isn't very unique in the idea of main characters killing monsters and the supernatural but I'm giving it a 8/10 because it was done fairly well.
Art 9/10 - To me personally the art was great, it was dark yet colourful enough for the watcher to understand how the creators wanted you to portray the setting and atmosphere, the characters were well done so I have no complaints.
Sound 7/10 - Nothing to special, the sound did it's job in instilling emotions and giving you an idea of situations.
Enjoyment 6/10 - I scored enjoyment fairly low because the ending wasn't what I was hoping for (it felt like something was missing) which REALLY bummed me out if you want to read the ending feel free to read my comments below.
Overall 8/10 - If you are looking for a tear jerking experience with tonnes of action and well fleshed out main characters then look no further then Ga-Rei Zero which offers that and more.
PERSONAL THOUGHTS OF GA-REI ZERO (GIBBERISH) SPOILERS!
I'd like to cover how I personally felt about my experience with Ga-Rei Zero first, this anime to me is fantastic on so many levels. just everything about it seems like it clicks in my mind as something I would watch from animations to plot/story to character development, for example how Kagura is taken in from Yomi's family and how they connect and become as close as you can get to blood related sisters, I feel not to many animes any more focus on relationships but Ga-Rei Zero nails it. ~SPOILER~ BUT on a personal enjoyment level the ending where Kagura kills Yomi to stop her suffering from a bane stone she was tricked into using almost causing her to turn into a phantom,~SPOILER~ it just feels empty like the anime is missing something, to be honest I doubt any of this will make any sense since I am still in shock to what I have witnessed, I really wish there was a season 2 of this anime because at the end it time skips 2 years after Kagura kills Yomi and we see Kagura with a boy named Ken whom we can only assume is her boyfriend or colleague fighting off more spirits which hints at a season 2 but to this day it hasn't been made, another thing that hints at a season 2 is it never really shows us Yomi is dead for sure, ya she got stabbed but since she has a bane stone a single stab wouldn't do her in so it makes me think Yomi is alive somewhere, this anime SCREAMS season 2 but it's not yet here hopefully it is one day.
