Divergence Eve 2: Misaki Chronicles

DE2 - Misagi Chronicles is second season for the divergence Eve series.

As a story it generally is about wormholes and multiversal string theory. In first season, they explain how human started to experiment with multiple universes in order to travel faster than light in space. End of that series was that the base constructed around anomalious planet that allowed this travel, jumped inside the anomaly and was trapped. This was due invasion of "ghouls", aliens from another dimension.

Now this series deals with the multistringular theory, and the crew is forced to travel through different times in order to figure it all out and to save the main character of the series. However asfar as i can see, theres only a slim storyline and people are drawn to watch the series with different means. Theres a serious boobies and panties lure, lolicon attempt with mecha & androids. Several shower scenes unrelated to storyline telling (yes, full frontal nudity) and so on. IF you want a good story, try something else instead... really.

Mecha lure is only nominal, as the puppetry beetween these 3d models are sluggish, 2d movement, as if the models were made of plastique instead of hi-tech servos. Voice actors are also badly acted, in both dubbed and original versions. The girl with oginava axcent is actually dubbed by english actor, giving similar laguage difference, which hurts my ears to the point it bleeds. Unfit character translation if any, if you ask me.

Theres way too much going on here wrong, if the series is attempting to be taken seriously, every girl in the series has DD or more in cupsize (well the droid member is adulessent, so he has b-cups, everybody uses short scirts which are way too low with pretence (hey, its future army dress code), space outfits are describitble by designed by leotard pervert, who prefers bikini bottoms. They even do this intentionally, as breast also arebouncing all over the place.

Overall, developers should have used more time to develope story instead of thinking what lures the most people... In my case, they went totally wrong, theres no reason to fill the girls with DD and space outfits shold be more of the space kind, rather than the beach kind. read more

What else to say?

Perfect end to an outstanding series.

Every element used is well woven into the story, and some of the episodes were really touching.

The struggle Mizaki is having, trying to fix things she sees as wrong, and the consequences of her actions are so well depicted.

Every thing is explained and put to order, so nothing is left unresolved and all ties up are very well done, which is not common to animes nowadays.

You end up really cheering and worrying for the characters and their struggle, and the final episodes were a fine piece of tie ins, explaining/solving every aspect of what was happening and what was the enemy they were fighting, and how to defeat it.

Especially nice is the end, where we see humans not giving up, and the final episode is very, very touching! I loved this anime from first episode of first season to the last one of its final season.

There are some ideas that reminded me of the movie Event Horizon, and even the space shots at some times reminded me that movie.

Very well done art on this, imparting the feeling it needed in every episode

Ah, also touching is what we see when Mizaki is struggling with the enemy...where we can see that the true bonds between father and daughter could not be severed completely, no matter what.

As the first season, a true jewel in any collection, and one of the best Science Fiction animes I ever saw! read more
