This series was mildly entertaining and left me wanting to watch another round of Slayers somehow. Art, Animation & Character Designs For the most part, the artwork is bland and lacking any real details. But considering this series is nearly a decade old (at the time of this review), i'll give it some forgiveness. Character designs were equally as unimpressive but getting over it was an ease. It sorta reminded me of Slayers. Music The OP is a pretty cool hard rock piece with male vocals... slightly leaning to the rap side. Think "Limp Bizkit". This was a nice welcome as it's a stray from the norm. Throughout the series, you have plenty of sax and similar instruments. During battle scenes, you get some interesting, subtle heavy metal pieces with an emphasis on symbols and bass guitar. Not too shabby really. The ED was an interesting rock piece with male vocals. Wasn't too bad. Series and Episode Story I didn't come to liking this until about 3 or 4 episodes in. I think it was the combination of artwork, unusual settings and slightly boring characters. Here's a few issues I had with this series... 1. I totally disliked the whole "gun" thing in the middle of swords, staffs and magic. Somehow it just didn't fit. Then all of a sudden you have a jeep. Yes, a "jeep". With that said, I had a tough time figuring out where in time this series takes place... or simply in an alternate reality or something. 2. I was pretty much lost throughout the series. Nothing much was really revealed and it ended with nothing resolved.... nor did they make it to India. However, it wasn't until I completed the series that I looked back and discovered that this is actually the 2nd installment. so I suppose I need to go back and watch that one to fill in any details I'm lacking. Overall, this series was mildly interesting. I might have a better opinion of it had I watched the first installment first. However, first impression is what I'm going by and first impression tells me... "eh". Last updated Tuesday, April 05 2011. Created Tuesday, April 05 2011. | ||||||||
