So instead of starting from the very beginning we get thrown in the middle of something and stuff will be explained on the way. Okay then.

And that's quite the group of characters lol. I like Farah already :D

It kind of annoys me to start the series in the middle but ok
Over 1 ep impression: Xena the warrior Princess anime version

Meh. I had higher expectations from playing the RPG's. First ep was alright. This is such an old anime from the quality lol. Hopefully the newer series are better animated with a more enjoyable storyline after I'm done with this one.

Some interesting POV shots there, and nice detail to the action-animations. It's always a kick to hear a cast filled with such iconic voices.

Like others here, not too keen on being dropped in the middle, but it's not so bad. Not expecting much from the main storyline here as this is clearly for the game's fans. (Due to their elemental attribute, my offensive power will be halved!!)

Not really that interesting.
The characters seem like the same recycled Tales templates I've seen before.
Their outfits are horrible too, especially Luk- I mean Reid.

Character designs - Check
Animation - Check
Shot composition/Photography - Check
Cast - Absolute check

The story or setting may not be great and the music doesn't stand out much to me, but the above positives make this a fun ride and hopefully it can stay this way beyond the first episode so I can enjoy the whole series.
