One thing was that I felt that the storyline itself had a lot more potential than the producers or whoever gave it. I never played the game though; I only watched the anime, but still, they could have maybe went pass the storyline of the game and built more on to it. To me, the ending was a really good ending compared to many other animes, but if you compared it to what it could have been, it wasn't all that great.
The beginning was actually pretty good, in my opinion, seeing as how it started with a complex story, but that complex story kind of died out until the end since they focused a lot on the school lives and romances of the main characters. It left out a lot of the complex story. T_T
The art was beautiful. I really liked the designs of the characters seeing as how they get their own personal armors and weapons, and these things are very well designed. The animation was very good, too. The backgrounds really brought out the mien and setting. I can't say too much about the quality, though, since the quality that I watched this anime in may be better or worse than yours, but still, pretty much, there was a lot of beautiful color and detail used in animation and design.
I actually really liked the sounds for this anime. The opening and ending weren't bad, and these theme songs matched the anime well. The background music was very fitting for the moments it was in, and the voices for the characters fit their personalities really well seeing how Precia's (main girl) voice fit her mature yet snobby attitude.
Prism Ark's characters could be amazing or awful depending on how you portray them. All in all, the character development in the story was very good, except for the fact that the romance was a bit slow moving. As for their personalities, each one stood out very well, and it made it clear who was what type of person. The only way you can portray the characters as awful is by opinion, such as hating Precia's personality for acting kind of selfish, spoiled, and stuck up, or disliking Hayaweh's (main male) for seeming so dense and overly kind. But still, those are just my opinions.
It's amazing how the characters' personalities devolop and change through such a short anime.
Enjoyment wise, I enjoyed it completely. ^_^ It got me hooked from the beginning since I like comedy, romance, and drama with a bit of fantasy and action. The romance was amazingly cute with the whole girl hates guy but falls in love later thing. And you can't help but love this whole school of fascinating characters in a fantasy setting.
Overall, I can't find many words to express his anime but I loved it. I loved everything in this anime other than the develpment of the plot. If they could have made the anime longer or gave more information on the complex story behind it, it would become one of my all time favorites. Pretty much, I wish it had a sequel. Still, I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind an anime based off an ero-game. ^_~
