I feel like the best way to describe Aoi Sekai is as follows:
Say you're at a party scouting for a nice girl. You see some nice ones, you see some slightly less nice ones but nobody that really grabs you. And then it happens. This [insert your favorite hair color]-ed vixen appears and draws you in. And after getting to know her better a bit, you're drawn in even further. So when you wake up after what you hoped would be a great night with her, you instead wake up disappointed and wondering if it was all worth it.

Don't get me wrong, Aoi Sekai certainly has a good concept behind it. Personifying the 90s console wars, what could go wrong? Well, lots of things sadly.

The major problem lies with the characters. Gear, our protagonist, decides to join the Segua army after losing his brother (a character so memorable and important that I can't remember his name) in a fight against the Ninteldo empire. And here we run into our first problem.
Avenging a fallen family member is as good a reason as any to go on a crusade but Aoi Sekai forgets the crucial ingredient to this; actually introducing the characters and building them so we can actually give a shit. Literally the first thing that happens is Gear's brother is dead, boom. We don't know why or what their characters are like, he's the hero, the likable one. Hell, for all we know Gear and his brother are actually gigantic asshats who committed grave crimes against the Ninteldo empi-okay, I'm just gonna call them by their proper names now, this is getting annoying. Anyways, for all we know Gear and his brother are actually gigantic asshats who committed grave crimes against Nintendo and Sega are the real bad guys!

Next up, purple-haired useless damsel du jour, Nel. Holy shit, what a useless character. Literally all she does, LITERALLY ALL SHE DOES is stand around and make sounds like she's orgasming at whatever exciting business is going on around her or spouting random superfluous nonsense. You could replace her with a sex doll with a tape recorder cellotaped to her face and you'd get an equally deep and useful character.

Then comes....Titties McArcher, I forget her name. The primary fanservice character. Cute? Check. Big....tracts of land? Check. Skimpy and incredibly self-defeating outfit? Big check! So called "professional" and "incredibly skilled character" who gets her ass handed to her by the main character first chance he gets? You guessed it!

But now we get the big one. Tejilof. My god, this guy is awful. I mean, REAL awful. Why? For starters, he's a walking Tetris reference with all the subtlety of a raging bull in a china shop. Ear ring shaped like a Tetris block that's on screen all the time. And if it isn't, you'll DEFINITELY notice how his sword handle looks suspiciously like....A TETRIS BLOCK! HA! DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING, DID YOU? LOOK AT ME, I'M A TETRIS REFERENCE, CAN YOU TELL?!
Now now, this won't be THAT much of a problem if he's funny, right?

Oh.

Yeah, not only is this guy a walking Tetris reference but his dialogue consists of nothing but stupid double entendres. In fact, let's just cut this short and say that the only good thing about this character is that his VA is also Keima Katsuragi, one of my favorite characters of all time.

This is the part where I normally talk about the plot and such but there's nothing. And for an anime that fails to properly introduce its characters or make us sympathize with them, that's a pretty big feat.

I suppose the nicest thing I can say about Aoi Sekai is that it looks actually kind of decent, considering how bad everything else is. But to hop back on the other hand, the action looks disjointed and messy as hell. Characters seem to randomly move between shots at times.

What I'll simply leave as my final words is that Aoi Sekai is probably the most disappointed I've ever been in an anime. An interesting idea that had true potential is driven into the ground by characters that make a piece of paper look deep and action that is beyond unsatisfying. read more

I never write reviews, but this anime is so awful that I feel I need to write this as a warning to others.
Right off the bat the characterization is awful, we are introduced to the main character named Gear as his sibling dies and that is the setup it does not even tell us who this character is or who the sibling is it just shows him as mad because his sibling died. (Note that I say sibling because the character is so unmemorable that I cant even remember what gender they were)
Everything in this anime is a reference to the 90s console wars, read more

Ok, so, when the 1st episode was shown, I was expecting that it gonna be a good anime, so, how do I rate it? Here's how:

Story: Very Good 8.

Already it is quite an epic eventhough the plot it about the battle between the "Segua Kingdom" or SEGA versus "Ninterdo Empire" or Nintendo, the factions maybe cheesy, the idea is unique

Art and sound: Fair 6.

I'm not much of an art critic, but those fanservice are something. As for the sound.......nothing for me to say.

Character: Good 7.

Well, it is pretty obvious that the info did mentioned that them characters are parodies of the games characters read more

I'll be honest this is my first review so i expect many to find this not helpful, but I'll do my best and type what I think.

Episode one had a good start not the best, not the worst.

As Stated, this anime is based on Nintendo characters such as Sonic, Mario, Legend of Zelda, and many more. not seeing it? Believe me, you will notice it, one way or another.

Back to Episode one, it starts off with Gear who is based off of Sonic who rushes to save his friend, and his (noted to be) sister Til and Nel, only to witness Til perish, but still read more
