Boukyaku no Senritsu

The first time I saw this series I spent the next day frantically attempting to relay what I had witnessed to some of my friends, however, I was at a loss:
MONSTERS. SACRIFICIAL OFFERINGS. FLYING MOTORCYCLES. COW-BUS. MAGIC ARROWS. INVISIBLE GIRL.
And that was just the FIRST TWO EPISODES.
Melody of Oblivion (or MOO, as I've taken to calling it) is a series i'd recommend to everyone. Why? Because it is a spectacular failure. Wonderfully awful. The series tries very hard to take itself seriously but that's a lot more than i'd expect out of anyone viewing it. I've come to refer to this show occasionally as 'the ... little train that couldn't.'
I can't help but laugh at the overly-dramatic dialogue and rampant pseudo-symbolism that is used throughout the series. It is the kind of show I watch and honestly can't believe what I'm seeing. There are parts of the show that are seemingly random without a little bit of careful analysis, so you have to invest a little bit of thought into watching this show, but I for one say it is absolutely worth it. If you could sit through the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion, then watching this show should be a piece of cake. It's a rewarding series to watch, especially since at this point very few people have heard of this show it seems, so you get to have the fun of recommending it to unsuspecting friends. With my friends that have seen this the series has become a kind of 'rocky horror picture show.' It is just that kind of awesome.
That said, There are some things the series does well, for one: the parts in the series that are SUPPOSED to be funny are usually pretty humorous, and the charters do develop reasonably well, and if you like unwarranted fan-service then this is the show for you.
All in all, this is a series that grows on you (not unlike a fungus). Give it a chance, it's a series that needs some love.

...In a world where monsters have taken control, and human sacrifices are made to please them...

That basically sums up the story here. Smaller story lines tend to form while watching, but end very quickly, often in the same episode. If you enjoy subtle horror, and action as the hero tries to save the day, then you have a good anime here.

But wait! What is this? The last four episodes involve crude humor that is not pleasing in any way... some could call it... freakishly startling? It does have a point in the story line, these weird images they show before and ... after breaks in the last four episodes, but the story that they are part of is a thought, merely a cell of importance, it would seem that the guy who wrote it thought it would add to the romance which was... there... at parts. It seemed that all it did was turn you away from the show and ruin any good feelings you had for the series.

I would also like to add, due to my love of voicing opinion, that this series is in no way scary seeing as every monster you come across doesn't look scary, and they tend to act stupid and run around in animal suits. It might symbolize something... it might not... but I must say, most of what happened, especially towards the end, made no sense.

With all that said, if you read it all, I STILL favorited the show. I Loved the story. I'm sorry, I know it was somewhat perplexing and had to value, but it was worth watching, it even made me sad when it ended! I was hoping for... a better ending (Like I said, the last four stunk.... bad) but it was poetic and entertaining. I recommend it fully.

Where to start, hmm... Well over all Melody of Oblivion is good; well for me anyways. The beginning is slow I admit, but then near the middle of the series things start to get better and then we have the end where it's alright, not the best but I have seen worst.
I found while watching it it does get quite confusing and a rewatch is highly recommended if you want to understand all of the story. There are part's what do not make sense (like cows... you'll understand) but yet you shouldn't question it. It has your basic lead characters not getting on at first ... but then like one another and it does it really well, though a lot is left to your imagination.
Time to finish up on this review (yes it's short, but I'm lazy). I recommend watching this series. It may not be the best but it still is good to have within your anime collection.
