Asura Cryin Season 1 review

Written by fantasyfreak-1 on October 29, 2012 at 4:12 PM

At first glance this might look like your run of the mill fantasy/scifi action anime, but if you look beneath the surface you´ll find some suprisingly complex themes. The fantasy and scifi aspects mesh really well, and never seem out of place, and while the character designs are somewhat bland, they are distinct enough to highlight each characters personality and what they contribute to the plot. The most central characters have really well though out back stories as well. Going back to the plot though, this story is told in a little unusual way. They don´t spell out all details and can decide to reveal important information where you least expect it, and this might frustrate some viewers, myself included at first, but you can get used to it, and once you do it will be fun and challenging for you to guess and speculate on what is going to happen or how stuff relate to each other, along with the characters. The show is very fast paced and have some decent action scenes(just my nitpicking, but they could have been a bit more intense) but still finds time to include comedy and some emotional scenes as well. So all in all, a fairly entertaining show, heres to hoping that the second season improves on what good the show already has to offer.
