Hmmm. For me, it is really hard to get really "obsesssed" with it. It's because I make too many dang comparisons with this and other animes. Yes, Zeliard, I agree with you. This does remind me of Hellsing. Studio Gonzo is doing this anime, and it also did Hellsing...

As for the comparisons. The anime reminds me of a blend of Trigun and Hellsing. Somehow I see a slight essence of Vash the Stampede in Abel Nightroad. And I'm not much of a Vash fan. The clothing designs of the priests reminds me of Edward Elric's clothing in Full Metal Alchemist..O.o Lol and Pope Alexander reminds me of a character in Bleach. So yeah, I get distracted with these things... I heard people say that this anime is also like a mix of Hellsing and Chrono Crusade.

Anyways, I think the artwork in the anime is beautiful. I'm pretty sure this anime will be more promising as the plot develops more.

This review seems pretty good. It was informative and spoliers weren't given out.

i haven't seen the movie yet. i have the soundtrack. i love the music, it's sounds pretty. true, this review probably needs punctuation and capitalization (for formal things). aside from that, i found it informative.

I just finished watching the series. I thought it was good. (Though, I'm not into the 'fan service' and the large eyes that try to portray innocence.)

Your review was well written. It provides a lot of descriptive perspective.

DarkSephiroth made a good point about the opening and ending themes -- I hadn't made that connection before.

Of all the animes that I have seen (which are mostly shounen genre), this is the first mature anime that i've been exposed to. So...based on that, I think that this anime was interesting...because the story was just 'new' to me.

Well...I can understand the annoyance of the 'fan service' presented in the story. Some 'incidents' are not necessary to the show.

I probably would have given it a higher rating. But the rating just relects the reviewer's preferences.

Hmm I think it is kinda early to write a review on this because there hasn't been a lot of episodes out yet. The review provides information, and doesn't include spoilers..but I don't feel like it is enough to assume that it is automatically -that- good when we haven't been introduced to more characters and plot (twists/enhancement).

i haven't even read the manga, but I don't know if it will follow along well with it.

^^;;...

i agree that the stoyline is very original. I really like this anime because it seems to have a fast plot to it. And in most episodes, there is something new to find out. Hmmm I don't see some characters resembling Germens in the art. Oh well, it's amusing when there is a random facial expression change among the characters.

i probably would have given the sound a higher rating. Though these are just my opinions because I happen to love somber and dramatic music. The music is quite fitting because some of it sounds militaryish. (i'm not wording this well O.o) I think Bratja (Brother) is sung by a Russian boys' choir...because I went on this forum and a Russian guy happened to translate the song. But...I really don't know for sure.

This review is well written and detailed (especially well clarified in the 'story' section --though there may have been a spoiler). (however, i would have rated this higher than how you rated Naruto overall. ) Since you have seem more anime than I have, I'll take your word that Fullmetal Alchemist presents a very unique and original storyline than some animes. It is definately something new to watch.

Naruto seems overhyped.

Some of the characters are cliche. The storylines drag out -too- long sometimes and the 'flashbacks' are way overdone. It is really annoying when they do an unecessary flashback of something that 's already happened in the episode.

Animation is definately not top notch. The animation is very inconsistant. For instance, if you have been watching the recent episodes, some eyes (as in size and style of eye design) are very different from the earlier episodes (and the forehead metal is smaller) etc. Also, it has these 'unecessary fillers' that really don't advance the plot .

Naruto does have some interesting intros and outro music/animation. I'm not really into some of the music. Though I give it dibs on the variety. The voice acting is good. I happen to like the some of the character clothing and setting design. I think that the advanced bloodlines is creative, and Naruto does seem to have a new twist to the ninja genre. The humor is amusing as well.

I would have rated the storyline lower than a 10, and I probably would have given Naruto an overall rating of an 8. These are just my opinions. I commend you for writing this review. I like how you backed up your ideas with explanations. It is well thought out. I disagree with some ideas, though I also agree on others (which I may have reiterated here).

Note: wow i feel like a complete hypocrite and contradictory towards myself because my gallery has -hoards- of naruto stuff.

i saw spirited away, and i really enjoy it. i love the instrumental music. i think the rating is fitting. your review is written quite well. it's very descrpitive, and you pointed out many reasons why this movie is great.
