Well 11eyes was a big surprise. To be honest just before starting watching it i was critical. The storyline seemed so unorigional and i only watched it becuase i needed something to pass the time and for some unknown reason this kept bugging me for quite some time so i decided to finally watch it.
It was nothing like i thought. Firstly although the whole idea of another world with chosen warriors with special ability's to fight and defend their world has been majorly over used,i realised straight away this wasn't your regular "other world" story. The only unorigional thing i found about the anime was
...
the characters, they were simple characters, stereotypes even of typical anime characters:
Kakeru- the wannabe knight, pushing himself to be better, fighting for the love of his life
Yuka- Typical big breasted cute, naive girl, who lets her heart rule her (although she does have a very nice unexpected turn around later on)Lots of panty shots. (you know what i dont get anime girls never seem to change their undies)
Misuzu- Serious, mysterious, takes no crap from anybody, proud older girl
Yukiko- (my favourite character; though that may be cause she looks like me and im cosplaying her :P) Petite, bubbly, happy-go-lucky, glass half full, and very into groping i might add (haha she acts like me too)
Takahisa- the bad man! tough guy, street wise with a sad backstory
the only unorigional character in this was Kukuri the mute girl
11eyes grabs you at the first episode, the relationship between Yuka and Kakeru (if annoying) is endearing and the slow intorduction of different characters is easy going. I loved the fight scenes (and in my opinion Yukiko kicks serious a*s*e lol but i am slightly bias due to my love of her) and the way the relationship between the main characters gets so deep and close "for friends and for tommorow" and then is totally ripped apart mainly due to the jealousy due to a certain some one; i wont name names *cough* Yuka *Cough getting a love rival *cough*Misuzu*cough*
The only thing i hate about 11eyes is that it concentrated too much on Kakeru and Yuka's relationship. If you ask me (and anyone with sense) Yukiko and Takahisa seemed much more in love and their relationship was much more interesting and the spin on their story is so sad and origional it makes me want to cry just thinking about it. I think the only improvement could have been to look more at the other characters in detail beside Kakeru, Yuka and Misuzu
The ending is somewhat confusing and might i mention not what anyone expected, if your planning on watching this my advice is expect the unexpected because this is not your typical bright and happy ending nonsense this is dark stuff dude that is masquerading as something cute and happy.
11eyes is definately worth a try if your into surprises but i have a feeling its the anime version of marmite; you either love it or you hate it (i love it...though i hate marmite) But luckily you can tell whether you love or hate it within the first episode so its worth a try no matter what.
Oh yeah not for kids may seem innocent and sweet but later it gets a little bit more mature (scenes of a veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slight sexual nature)
Peace and love people
