Without going too much into the story, you can already imagine, or simply take a guess from what it could be from the background information I presented. The plot is by-and-large fairly predictable and offers very few plot twists. And even those few plot twists can be seen coming for a few episodes. However, the over-used story of a pre-teenager kid saving the world using special powers always has some kind of mysterious charm, and that is what prevents the plot from being unwatchable. It\'s a fairly decent story.
The art is drawn well. The main characters all have some kind of uniqueness to them by their appearance. However, the non-main characters all pretty much are drawn with the least amount of detail to make them different.
The soundtrack is done by Yuki Kaijura, so you know that the score is going to be at the very least, exceptional, and that is no different with Elemental Gelade. There are many tracks in which you\'ll want to download for your private collection or find yourself humming along with the show.
The characters themselves are also somewhat predictable. After watching Coud for the first 5 minutes, you\'ll get a feel of what kind of person he is and after those first 5 minutes, you won\'t see anything different. The only character I found to be pretty much unpredictable was Cisqua, and that\'s because half the time you\'ll probably be laughing at her antics, too busy to predict what she\'s going to do. She is a very enjoyable character and makes the series much more enjoyable to watch.
In the end, if you\'re looking for something unique, different, thought-provoking, or something of the sort, the plot and characters to Elemental Gelade will provide you with none of that. However, with the formula that the series has stuck with, it is still generally enjoyable and will have you rooting for Coud and Reverie (Ren). Also, watching the romance blossom between them is also something that is interesting too.
