A Unique Premise For an Action Anime.

Have to suspend your reality meter for this one as their is no way this would be allowed to happen but it did make for an entertaining anime and suspending reality is a trademark of anime and one reason I'm a fan. The fights were pretty good the pacing was good their were some clique characters and situations and a bit of fan service but overall I enjoyed series the premise was unique and presented really well I'm giving a high 4 here and a 7.5 on a 1 to10 scale id recommend it. Has a really good dub.

I'm not big on watching anime, but for the few that I've seen, this is one of the few anime stories that managed to kept me engaged throughout. No episode is dull but some of the violence could have been toned down. At times the violence felt too extreme for its dramatically paced horror theme. But those are minor show-offs that did not detract much from the story of this show.

A fantastic mix of crazy action, stylish cinematic flair, and the occasional moment of reflection. I saw a review below stating that it "needs better plot", but I have to disagree. For what the series was trying to accomplish, the plot was always spot on. Whether Cobra was planning a heist, fighting the Pirate Guild, helping old friends, or even trying to take a vacation, the action was always varied enough to keep things interesting, and quite solid and satisfying. You were never really sure what kind of strange situations Cobra would find himself in, and the rogue gallery was chock full of memorable villains with fun designs and insane powers, each defeated by Cobra in very fun and creative ways. Sure, you could argue that the plot wasn't exactly high art, but why does it have to be? Why can't a series simply promise a fun adventure, and deliver on that promise in spades?

One final thing I'd like to mention is that I found Space Adventure Cobra to be refreshingly brave. Most anime (and television shows in general) have a hard time killing off characters. You know how it goes, the hero defeats the villain, and the villain scampers away only to pop up again endlessly in later episodes. However, Space Adventure Cobra has no problem with killing  off both heroes and villains. This creates quite a bit of suspense, since you're seriously never sure who will make it through the episode alive. It's a nice change of pace.

I truly enjoyed this anime as it had gorgeous animation paired with unique, diverse character concepts, fluid action, engaging plot with emotionally stirring subject matter, and a musical score that kept pace with the rest. It's everything you want in an anime sans romance which was lacking, but not in an entirely bad way. The anime market is over saturated with romance as it is. I highly recommend this anime to anyone who enjoys a good zombie movie or samurai themes (or steampunk). While it may not seem at first thought that these three themes could work well in conjunction, Kabaneri pulls it off with gusto and flair.

Strong male protagonist, strong female protagonists, good plot. This pervy anime manages a rare combination of respectable characters and a good plot in a perverted show. Not for kids.

Kazuki is wizard, but he can only use his magic 8 times before it kills him. Some of the most powerful magic families in the country find out about his dormant power and send their daughters to get his genes. That's pretty much the story.

This anime isn't very deep, but it's got some really neat characters and good animation. The soundtrack is all right too. Even though the story is pretty regular there are a few touching moments, it also delivers plenty of comedy too. I'm not gonna lie and say it's one of the best animes I've seen; but I'm glad I did see it. It's pretty enjoyable. Maybe check it out on youtube or netflix to see what you think.

Baccano is amazing. It's one of the few animes that can take advantage of dubbing. Because the setting is in America, it is plausible to have Italian, French and Russian accents without it sounding out of place. No voice actor is reused twice and the actors match their characters for the most part.

Dubbing aside, the action is fast paced and straight to the point. There are no filler episodes until the series ends then there are 3 OVA episodes to follow. There is no main character as the story follows all the characters to get the whole story. The whole series is out of chronological order and you must pay attention to get everything. The plot skips from 1712 to 1930-1932. It keeps the watcher interested in a mystery adventure leaving the watcher wanting more.

This series is not for young audiences. There is an excessive amount of blood, missing limbs, peoples heads being shot off with a shotgun, and people being shot up with tommy guns, and more. It is detailed. Parents I have warned you.

I do reccomend for any anime fans. I love this series so much I have rewatched it over and over and still haven't had enough. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have.

One of the better mature animes I've seen in a while. It's got an intriguing plot and lovable cast of characters. I would personally give this a try if you're looking for a short anime to watch.

Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee makes use of a lot of the elements that make a good anime: Engaging characters, an original plot, comedy, drama, cool action scenes, and of course, crazy hair! I need not expound on the plot, as you already have a decent product description, so I'll spare you of that.

The show is beautifully drawn, with an equally beautiful color palette to go with it and as mentioned, the action scenes, while not as frequent as in other anime, are fun to watch. Tegami Bachi's biggest fault animation-wise, however, are the CGI Gaichuu (gaint armored bugs), which look horribly out of place in their (mostly) 2D animated world. But the writing makes up for it.

This is a shounen series (aimed at teenage boys), so expect some action violence, a little profanity, and the occasional immodestly-dressed girl. Later episodes also have some nudity, but the naughty bits are covered up. There's also at least one Letter Bee Academy short that has a bit of off-color humor. The packaging says TV-PG, which more or less translates to PG-13.

Overall, I enjoyed this anime very much.

One of the most obscure anime out there, a lot of people have forgotten how sci-fi anime is supposed to be. This is a perfect blenf ohorror, sci-fi, and action anime that chils the bones and keeps you wanting more. Also, it has a very interesting story-line. Where else would you find an anime featuring a supermodel who turns into a night valkyrie battling her own breed for the survival of mankind. The question remains, who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? The answer is obvious by the end of the series and is well worth watching all the way through. I remember renting this from a video store whe I was younger, now I'm proud to say that it's part of my own personal anime collection!

There are many manga out there that do some things right, especially in what has to do with action scenes, unusual creatures and humor. However, the one element that in my mind makes a great manga is having a great story, and in order to get that you need something that stands out. This manga has that in spades based on the creative plot and how well the history of the characters blends into it.

Allen Walker is an exorcist with a special hand that serves as an anti-akuma weapon. Akumas are weapons that serve the devil. This serves for some interesting combat dynamics, as well as for some fascinating characters. In this first volume, beside finding more about Allen we get to meet the Earl, who is the one that finds ways to create new akuma and is the nemesis of the exorcists. The series is set on a fictional end of the nineteenth century, but the Earl is based on a real eighteen century person based on the authors comments. Suspects are the Count of St. Germain and Nicolas Flamel.

This is a series that grabs you by the throat in this first volume and does not let you go. The combination of the magnificent story, the well-dosed horror, the moments of humor and the creative elements make this a series that should be seriously considered for jumping right in.

I got this just purely based on how well received it was in the Anime comunity (peer pressure, I know). But I don't think that any anime I've ever seen will compare to the way this one was done. It's a perfect blend  of action, drama & comedy. It's very thought provoking and very few  Anime can challange you to actually THINK about what you are watching.  Honestly, it's the most beautiful animated show I've ever seen.

Guyver is about a boy named Sho Fukamachi who accidently comes across one of three units known as the guyvers unbeknownst to him the evil chronos corporation and it's army of alienic bio weapons known as the zoanoids are in pursuit. The guyver is the most powerful of zoanoids chronos lost when a rogue zoanoid steals them and chronos will do anything to retrieve the guyver units. It is a good action packed cartoon one that is fun to watch on a saturday afternoon it is rather violent but not so much so that it takes away from the story. I liked it because the action and characters were awesome and the plot was in my opinion rather innovative. This is a must see for true anime fans.

Kuniko has launched a rebellion against Atlas. As the fight reaches it's peak, secrets about Atlas, Tokyo, and Kuniko's past are revealed. Prime Minister Ryoko's sinister plot to dominate the world is far more evil and will require the deaths of many innocent people. Kuniko, Momoko, and all their friends must give everything they have to save the world from a nuclear winter.

This series started of kind of strange, and got even stranger in good way. This series has a very interesting plot. There are lots of twists, turns, huge surprises. The characters are unforgettable. I also loved the animation style. The bright colors and detail are amazing. The voice acting and soundtrack are top notch as well. This series isn't for young viewers. There is a lot of suggestive material, strong language, and violence. There isn't any nudity though, if that bothers you. Everything about this series is awesome. I'll enjoy it for many years to come. I think that any mature anime fan will as well.

This is a really fun, action filled anime.  The story takes place in the year 2077. Japan has isolated itself from the rest of the world because they've been using, beyond acceptable limits, advanced robotic technology.
A special ops force goes to infiltrate Japan and find the androids they've been reported to be making.

Vexille is a woman, who is a member of SWORD, the US special ops team who will be going in, along with her lover Leon and others...

The plot is great and full of action. The animation is fantastic and the story is engaging. Recommended!
