(Average Anime) Amazing Art with a thrilling adventure!

[david-kim-165-249979 · 7/10 · 20 November 2014]

I won't be talking about the plot, so let me cut to the chase!

First, the anime's art style was very fascinating and caught my attention which caused me to watch this entire anime. The anime's genre was Fantasy, Mystery, Drama Romance and Action and when you enhance this anime with the art, it allowed me to enjoy the anime and when I arrived the first fight scene, it actually stunned me and caused me to go "wow".

*SPOILERS* Second, the story plot. this caused so much chaos in my mind once I arrived episode 18 till the end. I was very confused because of all the plot holes. They had an amazing start, but at the end the story just came to a broken end. There was a full stable conclusion, however the things that happen before the end just confused me and seemed to be a little unnecessary. For example, like how Aika's death was just suicide which she did on purpose so that Yoshino and Mahiro could get closer to Hakaze. I also was very confused by the way the Talisman just disappeared. There were so many things that were missing or unexplained. The mystery was very interesting and made me think a load for who killed Aika but once the story exposed Aika . However, the story was average and worth.

Third is the music (OST). I really enjoyed this the most. The music was insanely amazing and stunning. The synergy with the music and the fighting scenes was what kept the anime still worth watching, this played a huge part in the anime. There wasn't anything wrong with this so I give a 10/10 for this part.

In conclusion, this anime had amazing music and art, however it had so many plot holes which brings me to give it a 7/10. This anime worth for people who love fighting and who love puzzles and mind games.

I recommend this anime

I recommend this anime for all action and mystery lover. The animation is so awesome I think I will rate the graphics of the animation 7/10, The story is good and exciting because of some revelation that will be reveal each episode of the anime. "Who kill his sister". This anime is full of action scene and it's not boring at all. you will enjoy watching it because of the unique graphics and unique story. If you like some action anime this anime is good for you! and if you like magic this anime is full of magic. Like fairy tail! but there are some episode that you will feel sleepy because of unrelated story. Overall The anime is Great! Here is my rating Animation: 7/10 Sound Effects/ Ost: 8/10 Graphics: 7.5/10 PLot 6/10 Characters 5/10

Why characters is 5/10? Just watch the anime and you will see. But I highly recommended this anime to all otaku's there

SO-SO ANIME:)

Not so greate story per total..but some episodes were amazing!

Blasting a hole into the "new school" Anime scene. A must watch.

Blast of Tempest: The Civilization Blaster is a perfectly paced story about all things that make any story great. Mahiro Fuwa and Yoshino Takigawa are the protagonists and give Shakespeare references out the "wahzoo". Even though I don't like Shakespeare, because he's referenced so often, it complements the show more than I could have hoped. If you enjoyed a combination of Lost, Eden of The East, or Harry Potter you will enjoy this.

At first you don't know what will happen to Yoshi. You don't know why he's necessarily doing what he does. Yoshi is often confused and unsure. Meet the female expounder who is also lost yet focused, Hakaze Kusaribe. This is what makes the show great. There are lots of mysteries.

The rich pace is balanced with ease of action. Like in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or Hero but in a sci-fi kind of way. The action scenes are spectacular. Performed with ferociousness and clarity. You don't see this often, even in main stream movies, so this is a gem that shows the power of Anime.

But first comes the animation. The first episode has butterflies, snow, detailed characters and more. This really adds to the cinematography and makes me love the show. It gives a special feeling...like you are there or want to be. I hope Blast keeps this type of animation abundant all the way to the end. It would really give it an edge visually! This helps make the pace warmer, and smoother like an awesome latte with whip creme on top or tea made flawlessly.

Warning level: Medium Though the women are scantly clad at times, it could be worst and there is no nudity, groping, bad moe etc. Also in some of the scenes it's realistic and makes sense. It's not added purely for fan service. There is some suggestiveness but I'm not sure if it's translation error or not.

With a lot of promise in the first two episodes I would say Blast of Tempest could be just as good if not better than Angel Beats! and Eden of The East!

I recommend watching this all the way through without reading many reviews or doing much research as it would make the show less powerful (I already accidentally read some things on wiki!!! and I'm very angry). Spoilers weaken what makes the show interesting. Especially a show like this.

A supringly great noname anime

[Gggii · 10/10 · 8 October 2018]

I was really impressed with this especially with the plot twists and cliffhangers that just made you want to watch it. I also really cared for the fact that it had a good resolution in the end.

UNDERRATED, one of the best I've watched lately

[daavramov · 8 December 2017]

MAN is this underrated, such a good show! Strong mystery and the answers never disappoint, some good action, plot twists, DEEP characters, honestly I'd give this a 10/10 if the end had an actual meaningful conclusion, which in my opinion it didn't. Still, you should WATCH THIS though

A tricky anime to follow but it was alright in a way..

[Irishchatter · 6/10 · 20 August 2019]

I found though that the characters were rather dull because they all seemed like stone faced lot who never laughed in their lives and as some reviewer said on here, there were plenty of plot holes until the ending was when actual extreme action started happening. I'm the sort of person who would like to understand plots at its right place than slowing me down to skip plenty of episodes until the very end. That's unfortunately what I did and anyway the ending for me seemed unfinished. I was actually surprised that an anime like this would end a kiss abruptly. I found it was just like "f this we are not gonna bother our arses to put this in" which is disappointing in a way.

So I'll give the good stuff - the effects and the backgrounds were gorgeous. Especially the scene where the princess was trapped on an island and when it was sunset, omg it literally looked so realistic! I'm very picky when it comes to art and this lads, was my state of art lol. Anyways the animation was gorgeous and that's why I'm giving it a 6/10 score to put as my "potential to be good" list. It's just a bummer that the characters and storyline werent as likeable as I would've liked them to be. I wouldn't mind giving season 2 a go when it does eventually come out but we just gotta wait and see folks!

Great out of nowhere show

[Gggii · 10/10 · 8 October 2018]

Wow, I had to watch it all in one sitting, like a book you just can't put down until it's over. I really like las how it ended too.

Attempting to find its place in a genre of higher standards

[AnP_VelvetSkies · 7/10 · 6 August 2023]

The show does provide an interesting premise, although the speed of progression is very slow. The characters are alright and the plot itself is interesting, but I do believe the show could've been condensed into less episodes. To capture the sense of hopelessness so well in a series is nothing less than admirable. While the pace may be slow, the writing does pull through in the end, handing you a very real and bitter perspective on a world slipping through the hands of humanity. In the end, I was fairly impressed with how the show worked itself out.

Overall, I'm giving this series a seven for its decent ability in relaying a story, be it nothing incredible. For a majority of the series, I had my doubts, worried if some childish interactions would leave me underwhelmed. It turns out, I was modestly satisfied, from the conclusion to the character development. The finale may have felt lacking, a bit generic one might say, though nothing incredibly flat. While I can understand others not being as willing as I to complete the series. I was content with how things subsided.

Only watch if you don't have any better anime that you haven't seen,

[silverlugiaxd · 3/10 · 4 January 2014]

In the world of anime there are many bad ones and some good ones, though it is unfair to divide them in only 2 groups, my point is that many of them are not worth seeing.

Blast of tempest is not a bad anime over all but it certainly isn't one of the best. why? mainly due to plot holes and the illogical plot. I'm not going to spoil the anime for you but two summarize it I have this to say:

Good: Amazing sound tracks, I defiantly recommend listening to the OST even if you are not going to watch the anime.

The graphics and animation.

Some of the voice acting

Bad: Enough plot holes to sink Titanic

Boring action scenes

Annoying and unnecessary characters.

To sum it up, this anime is not even close to anime such as: Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Fate/Zero or even the famous three ( Bleach, Naruto, One piece)

Terrible anime, don't waste your time

[tthelegend-64137 · 2/10 · 28 December 2023]

The entire anime is pushed by this guy whose supposed to be so smart but can't figure out his best friend is dating his "sister" Keep in mind this supposed smart guy brother zoned himself while he could figure out his own feelings about the "sister". The Shakespeare references are unnecessary. Because Shakespeare itself speaks of a guy who procrastinates until everyone dies.

So many theories are thrown in your face about who k*lled the sister that you can basically see from a mile away that the only logical conclusion is that the sister self deleted herself.

Somehow now the princess is in love with the best friend Yoshino now. Its just a dumpster fire. Don't waste your time.
