Largely a by-the-numbers video game adaptation, Star Ocean EX adapts the events of its Second Story game and manga source material. The series is a mish-mash of sci-fi and fantasy tropes with its storytelling involving the main threat of the mysterious Sorcery Globe causing havoc on the planet, the characters largely have their character types they stick with throughout the series and not changing much for the most part, and key story developments largely feeling like either window dressing or plot convenience that don't leave much impact due to the basic structure of the story. Also not helping matters is that the series ends inconclusively as the main threat from the series is left unresolved by its ending and continues beyond the anime. In short, left with the impression this series largely existed to promote its video game source material and manga adaptation thus I'm rather indifferent on the series as a whole since what it offers leaves much to be desired.

Comedy : Med Action : Med SciFi : High Ecchi : Low/Med This anime is all over the place. It's fun to watch but is it believable? No not really. I see a bunch of Watch Ratings here, so it's odd to me. So I watched the Last disk. Very full of symbolism and not a real ending. But is that enough to kick this down to a watch? Nah, it's has a very cool ending and maybe a sequel. So what if they didn't follow the manga (Which I have read). It's still very entertaining. We have Claude (hero who doesn't want to be), Rena (Love interest with no memories), Celine (Fan Service!), Ashton (Comedy Relief and a Lolicon to boot!), Precis (Inventor, Rena's Rival and the Loli!), Leon (Cute little Cat eared Inventor), Opera and her brother (Hints of a Deus Ex Machina), and a few others. It was fun to watch. A bit violent for the young ones, but on the Forbin's Daughter approved list. but hell, Sister Princess is on that so we can never know. Last updated Tuesday, January 24 2006.

I really liked the game which this anime is based on and the adaptation is basically true until the end. The characters are funny and the story isn't that bad, the only problem is the ending it really ruined it.

Exactly based on the game. Recommended for all ages (no blood/gore & nudity/profanity. It has comedy and interesting chracter personalities that won't bore you 20 episodes into the story. As for the action scenes, its quite boring most of the time, but comedy or drama is combined to relieve it usually. This anime is worth taking a look at even if it is just another typical, unoriginal experience.

("Star Ocean the Second Story" was the first game to Have Characters "Rage" when another party member fell) They tore the Hearts out of the Characters, along with the jokes, the Sadness, misery, AND THE MUSIC! all the things That make an ENIX GAME completely masked by ink and cells. This one is only worth watching if you Have played the game. The ending Sadly was also drained of its true glory. Last updated Tuesday, July 22 2003. Created Tuesday, July 22 2003. |
Alas, I Waited SO DAMNED LONG FOR THIS ONE TO COME OUT!, This is another less than glamorous attempt to take an Awesome Game and convert it to a movie,||||||||

the art was okay and the fight scenes could use a little work, it's mostly: **strike really cool pose** **jump** **lights** **enemy falls and fizzles away** so, it needs improvement on that field, but the storyline is still great and the characters themselves are the best. yay! for precis! :) Last updated Monday, June 30 2003.

Star Ocean EX isn't bloody and violent so I can recommend it to the children. Hardcore otaku may not enjoy it.

Idea of mixing fantasy with sci-fi seems to be interesting, but not in this case. However, ||||||||
