*I'll try and keep the spoilers to a minimum* Being a huge fan of the Final Fantasy Series and Anime, when I found out a Final Fantasy Anime was coming out, there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to watch it. Needless to say I was disapointed. Those of you who are looking for the deep moving stories usually found in Final Fantasy games, or the intense well animated battles usually found in other animes like Rurouni Kenshin, then don't look here.
What we have here is a promising start, a few interesting Ideas (well one actually, and his name is Kaze, and even he gets old) and a bunch of boring villains, and then about twenty six episodes of sheer boredom.
The animation is similar in quality to that of Pokemon, or Digimon (etc.) , and probably aimed at a similar audience. Every once in a while, usually when one of the bad guys shows up, a computer graphic type animation will occur, but instead of looking stylish, it just looks stupid.
The story is, as I already said, very shallow and you really don't care about what's going on. It's not quite as bad as the last Final Fantasy Anime...but it's close.
There is one cool thing about this show though, whenever Kaze, the black robed gunman "summons," I could feel the hair on my arms rise. Of course that's only three seconds out of a twenty minute episode, so it hardly makes the series worth watching.
I watched it because I love final fantasy...but I can't recomend it to others.
I'd give it * out of 5 (and it gets the star because it's final fantasy)
