Neo Angelique Abyss

I wasn't expecting a lot from this series, and got roughly that.

Story: Simple. Select people have the power to fight off the monsters produced by an omnipotent evil being, who just is. In comes the heroine who has the power to completely vanquish said evil. Oooh. Never saw that coming. Adventuring, etc. Nothing special.

Art: The animation is fairly good through most of the series. I liked the character designs for most of the characters, and they were unique enough that you wouldn't confuse one for the other. The "action sequences" weren't anything special.

Sound: Aside from the OP and ED, the music was boring and annoying at times. The OP is adorably cheesy and catchy, and the ED is just adorably cheesy, but I liked them both. The VAs for this series were one of the main reasons I decided to watch this, and they lived up to my expectations. The casting was good for all the characters, and the acting was decent.

Character: Angelique drove me insane from the moment she appeared on screen, to the last few seconds before the ED in episode 13. While I know good heroines aren't terribly common for this sort of show, Angelique is exceptionally annoying until roughly halfway, where more development and personality is brought in for all the character. The four "knights" Angelique gathers around her took a long time to grow on me, and by the end of the series, I still found the side characters to be overall more interesting and fun to watch. The main cast does seem to have history beyond what this first season was able to dig into, though, they just weren't all my cup of tea.

Enjoyment: My obsession with Erenfried's VA was one of the few things that kept me watching through the first part of the series, but by the last 6 episodes, I was more or less hooked. I liked the series more as things grew darker, rather than the shiny happy people episodes in the beginning. I was a bit disappointed in how the series ended, as the last few episodes basically forgot about some of the cast.

Overall? I'll give it a 6. Decent, light, easy to multi-task to anime. Abyss left me with a cliffhanger, and I liked this season enough to try the second, but if the pace slows up again I'll probably drop it. read more

I watched this series and during the entire thing, I could predict each and every single one of the events that occurred. The ending was something that's quite shocking (but not completely, since it's relatively predictable) and disappointing. It's something that makes you say, "What. On. Earth. Just. Happened."

Hmm... Overall, it was quite a trivial anime; Good for passing time, but not much more than that. Reverse harem is one of my favorite genres (e.g. Ouran HSHC, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge) and I started the series because of that. However, the romance in this was quite shallow. The entire anime was much too sugary. If you are looking for anime with a good plot and romance, I do NOT recommend this. If you are looking for an overly-cute anime with many yummy bishies or to pass time, you might want to give this a try. Personally, I wasn't pleased with the anime. read more

I watched this anime only because it is one of my favorite types of anime....reverse harem or shoujo. It also said it had action and romance. Too bad the romance, and action failed big time. The only signs of romance is when the girl blushes when talking to one of the hot guys.

I have to say the story and enjoyment was worse than anything. The only reason I watched it until the end was to see if the main female protaganist was going to actually find love between one of her companions and that also let me down. The action wasn't all that great either. The fights was a little boring. The enemies all looked like jelly monsters and the powers the main characters had were too lame. To sum the story up, it was a let down.

Art and sound was OK.

As far as characters, I wanted to say I had at least one favorite but the only one I could think of was the cat. The characters really didn't develop enough for me to get to like them.

Overall this series gets a 5/10 because it is one of my favorite genres but too bad it didn't meet my expectations.

I love this anime, the story is full of romancd and action that is so captivating! The characters are great and the series overall keeps you wanting to see more.

I'll keep this review short because Neo Angelique Abyss is one of the worst animes I have watched. The animation looks like it's made from the 60s. The music is also average. The worst part is the plot and the characters. When the plot is about one girl living with four guys in the same house and fighting off tentacle monsters but at the same time it's NOT a hentai, you know the series is terrible. That wouldn't be too bad if the writers didn't push their limits to destroy the show even more by making not one but all the characters as annoying as possible. I won't go into details except all the guys act like girls and the only girl acts like the B-word. Angelique will be perfect choice if you want to experience a truly terrible anime. Otherwise stay away from it. read more
