#ANIME EYES SERIES#

In a rare stroke for the 'highschool kids save the world' genre, the main character isn't given an immediate power up. Usually unnoticeable, it does a good job setting up the atmosphere. The most interesting things art wise are Misuzu's swords, summoned by the power of nail-polished symbols. The Red Night is unremarkable, merely a copy of the real world with a red tint, and the Black Knights' sanctum, if it can be called such, is never defined except for some red giant stalagmites. There's nothing particularly wrong with any of the art, but there is nothing distinctly memorable either.

This dissonance precludes any type of meaningful conclusion because the series has apparently run against simple logic since the very beginning, rendering the conflict irrelevant. However, it is handled so poorly that the Bad guys create the things they're supposedly trying to guard against. The bad guys' actions should have taken on new meaning and made the heroes make a choice that would forever define their characters and wrap up the themes of survival, self-sacrifice, and friendship. Instead of undermining the heroes' determination by causing confusion and guilt, there's merely a glaring dissonance between the bad guys' actions and their supposed motivations. The big reveal of the story is as poorly implemented as it is predictable. suddenly whisked away on some random day to The Red Night. Although, it is explained later that these kids are 'special', it is never explained why the kids, who'd lived lives of relative normalcy, are High school kids are randomly transported to the Red Night, a red mirror world of danger and isolation, where they must fight for survival against random threatening things and, of course, the Black Knights. What starts out as an interesting supernatural mystery/action romance quickly devolves into the 'I'm the main character and only useful one' cliche with a such a feeble plot that anyone with critical thinking skills will be disgusted. But if one looks for story and development in an anime, 11eyes is not for you. But undeniably the show is decent enough to stand. Overall, 11eyes cannot be considered a great or a superb anime. It barely crosses '5' territory, which for me is a low score already. This gets a 7 in enjoyment - it's quite entertaining to watch nevertheless.ġ1eyes, though deserving lots of the flak from our fellow watchers, is a pretty ok anime. Later on this interest disappeared due to. Admittedly, it catered to me, being a moe anime after all. What the heck happened? This gets a 6 for me.Īlthough not that good, I definitely enjoyed this show. And as I said earlier, suddenly most of the cast became incompetent in combat and the main guy just became central view of the show. One of the main girls degraded into a sick little girl with her own sick little fantasies. The characters were made to cater to your fetishes. The characters are stereotypical, that's for sure. The opening 'Arrival of Tears' by Ayane and 'Sequentia' by Asriel are suberb themes and are actually VERY addicting. This gets 7 for being really good at what the art's supposed to be. It's like they ran out of budget to make a big fight scene. And then cue to a scene where one of them says 'She's too strong.' and don't fight anyway. At one time, I was expecting an epic fight between two master swordsmen. Some battle scenes did look a bit awkward though. Characters that have cute traits like big eyes and the like are found in it.

Arts from other more complicated series cannot be compared to this one since its main focus was the 'moe' aspect. I'll give it a 4 for managing to be really interesting early on.ġ1eyes definitely has great art. Suddenly, it's like the other characters lost their competence and some even derailed into 'dreadful and annoying' (I'm looking at you, Yuka.) And the rest just got. An interesting story suddenly became VERY awkward and weird. This view, however, devolved and the story slowly but surely turned into something else: A One can use mediocre concepts and turn it into gold. This did not discourage me from watching it though. The anime showed pretty strong potential to be a very good supernatural themed story. However, this wasn't exactly a devolution into the worst of the worst. This one, on the other hand, devolved into something else. 11eyes, in the beginning, showed potential to be a '10' or '9' grade anime.
