Story:
Stereotypical classic JRPG nonsense. Heroes are on a quest to retrieve a set of magical items that a powerful villain is searching for as well. Beyond that are plot points that become disposed of quickly and by the end of the 2 hour run-time you're comfortable not knowing the ending to a few sub-plots. The narrative doesn't take itself very seriously with a plethora of jokes hackneyed throughout, and at the points it becomes somewhat serious it's still rather basic and doesn't try anything fancy. Straight forward, but not schlock. Thank goodness. All of this comes together to become a check-list of classic fantasy adventure

It's some good 90s fun.
The english dub is serviceable, the animations are nice and I especially love the designs of the characters. The artstyle is very reminiscent of the late 90s series like early Pokémon and especially Slayers given the fantasy setting. The story is like a mash of every JRPG you've ever played so it's nothing unpredictable, although that isn't a bad thing, honestly it was a fun watch and the length of 4 episodes was the right choice. I think it's a good show to put on when you don't want to pay too much attention and have a bit of light hearted fun. Mar 3, 2014
Note: I watched this a few days prior to writing, so i may be a little hazy on a few details. And first review :D
I heard about this anime a long while back and in a fit of boredom and curiosity, i decided to take a look. Unfortunately the 2 hours i spent watching this could have been used to watch something more interesting. The plot is fairly straight forward, the two main protagonists, Fam and Ihrie, are two female treasure hunters or "Ruin Explorers", on the quest to find the Ultimate Power One of the main problems i had with this series is it's short length. ... |
