Freezing Vibration

As someone who enjoyed the first season of Freezing, I found Vibration to be very disappointing for several reasons, but first I will cover the good points of this series.

Story - (Synopsis from Freezing)
The story hasn't changed, Set in a slightly futuristic world where Earth has been invaded and is at war with aliens from another dimension called the Nova, the story follows the adventures of a Japanese boy named Kazuya Aoi who enrolls for training at a special school for genetically modified girls called Pandoras who battle the aliens, and their male partners, called Limiters, who use a special power called "freezing" to limit ... their opponent's mobility. The protagonist makes the acquaintance of an unusual older girl named Satellizer el Bridget who appears to be the most powerful Pandora in her class, but has not yet chosen a male partner to be her Limiter, and in spite of the warnings of all his friends, he decides to be her Limiter.

This isn't your typical School/Romance/Harem in my opinion, it is quite different which actually holds a plot - defeating the aliens combining forces of one female, also known as a Pandora and one male who is called the Limiter; although one boy has a different type of power being the younger sibling of the greatest Pandora to exist, where he can use his 'full' freezing power for anyone he fights with and all the Pandoras fight over him. I rated the story an 8, based upon the two seasons.

Art -
Now for the art, exactly the same as the first Freezing, it is remarkable. The detail put in, each snowflake falling and all the detail put in to the characters, background and the whole surface of it, it's clearly had a lot of time and effort put in and in my own opinion, this is the best part about this season. I rated the Art a 9.

Sound -
I didn't find the sound that interesting, it's got the type of opening/ending sound tracks you just listen to once, don't find it catchy and skip it and move on. I rate the sound tracks a 5.

Characters -
Well, here we go. In my opinion; the character development is the biggest flop of Freezing Vibration; the first season had 3 main characters, Kazuya Aoi, Satellizer el Bridget and Linchen Rana, who had a great back-story and you find out a lot about them all within the first couple of episodes. But, then you come to Freezing Vibration, they have doubled the amount of mains from 3 to 6 and make it confusing; their isn't a big story behind these characters because you are not told much about them, they haven't presented them in the right way and just rushed them into action. Characters - 5.

Enjoyment -
Although their are bad things about Vibration, it isn't all bad. It is enjoyable to an extent and does keep you moderately interested, although at points I have felt bored and 'couldn't be bothered' watching. In my opinion, the newer mains annoy me and don't interest me, I would of rather watched the first season again but with more development to the story and what/when Kazuya and Bridget finally become the #1 team.

Overall -
Overall taking all my ratings into account, I rated this a 7.
The story and art are the best things, like in any anime these are a key necessity for a good show, although the Characters are the biggest let down for me and I'm not too bothered about the sound.

Thank you for reading.

Some people have asked themselves, what is hatred? Where does it come from?
Well allow me to clarify those things as best I can.
Hatred is a means for one to obtain power quickly while rendering himself blind in the process. It is born from the sins of humanity and it is also the responsibility of
humanity to pay for those sins.

The second season of Freezing presents evolves around a research center in Alaska where the protagonists travel as part of their orders. New faces are revealed, old ones stand in the spotlight once more as restlessness and conflict grips the facility.

Not only does the artwork reflect ... the amount of fanservice of this series, it also puts the objects ofthe fanservice on the foreground. As such there are few background scenes that will amaze you.

Soundtracks are made mainly to back up the suspense , the fighting scenes or the emotional moments of the series and are done in a good fashion.

Characters have numerous personalities each with it's own reasons and ways, something uncommon these days. These many ways to be specific to one character each decrease the level of predictability of the series.

Overally I enjoyed the series since the fanservice mostly blends in with the story. However the message is a strong one and it is one worthy of remembrance.

This is a review on Freezing's 2nd season Freezing vibration Thanks for reading time for the review likes and dislikes but first the categories.

Story- 7/10 I liked the story but it wasnt as good as season one but without trying to compare it, it was good to say the least it had many ups the fights incorporating into the story the sci fi which you get in basically every episode it kinda moves away from the romance part towards the end and is more like friendship stuff by the end but whatever a good story but, the main arc seemed really rushed towards ... the end and it left you feeling unsatisfied by the ending it seems to give you the rushed feeling and the feeling of wanting more and probably a 3rd season there isnt really a cliff hanger but it seems to indicate a 3rd season. All in all good not great but good.

Art- Same as the previous season so it is decent nothing out of the ordinary but the biggest problem they did with the 2nd season is censoring the fan service scenes which was so badly done but not the worst censoring ive seen. The censoring is just a really blinding white circle or oval and whatnot it really took away from many of the fight scenes especially since the first season was uncensored and the 1st episode of the 2nd season was uncensored but for some reason the other 11 episodes from 2-12 were censored...(funimation).... so thats why, Minus all of that its good during fight scenes and some other stuff i cannot mention cuz their spoilers.

Sound- Ima give this a 9/10 i prefered the op and ed of the second season alot more then the first. The 2nd season has a powerful opening theme from the start of it just a great op and the ending theme is good as well the ost is good certain themes catch your attention to where you just stop to watch and listen just good overall.

Character- You get the same characters from the previous season along with many more characters for the second season some characters from the first season arent in the second but thats not important. The characters are good from main to side you also see satellizer's worst fear *spoiler sorry but they show him as a child during season one. To get back to the point many characters i wished they were showcased more in anime which they really didnt do all that well. A good character roster but kinda fails on making us care about some of the new characters which indeed kinda sucked and fell flat but it doesnt take away from utilzing the characters for the amount of time they had.

Enjoyment- 8/10 i enjoyed it probably more than the first season but i didnt think it was better than the first season mainly because the ending seemed kinda rushed and theirs no sign of a 3rd season although i enjoyed it quite a bit some things they did with this anime's second season was just plain bad but the story was compelling enough it gave suspense and wonder and this time around you genuinely feel emotionally attached to certain characters based on who they are and what they perceive.

Likes- Story, Fight scenes, All the music, More characters & more enjoyable characters, attachment with certain characters,

Dislikes- Censoring, The use of the main character towards the end & in the end, Pacing was to fast towards the end.

Overall- i am being really generous with this score an 8/10 i enjoyed everything enough to give it that score even if it was uncensored it would still receive an 8. The pacing is really what makes this season not as great as what it should have been and thats what it all comes down to it did everything right aside from cesnoring but the story was not perfectly executed it had alot of potential but 12 episodes didnt give it justice if it were extended to about 14 maybe the outcome would be different. Freezing as a whole is a super underrated anime that doesnt get enough love. Although i loved it i wouldn't recommend it to everyone both seasons that is.

In the Chevalier's Alaska base is a project to produce more Pandora to combat the dwindling population that currently exists to combat the monstrous and enigmatic Nova. Satellizer, Kazuya, Rana, Elizabeth, and Chiffon are called along with other Pandora to provide data to assist with the project. When project's specifics are brought to light is the cost really justifiable or are the Chevalier going too far?

Story - (9) Freezing Vibration improves story wise in all aspects. While the first season is mostly just hazing, this season brings Satellizer and company into an interesting and at times disturbing story about humanity ... and just how horrible and monstrous we can be when backed into a corner. It also focuses on the many different characters views and opinions on what it means to be a Pandora. Are Pandora merely tools that should follow what their superiors say? Are they obligated to use their powers to challenge what goes against their morals for the sake of the innocent? Are the few expendable if it means saving humanity? These questions aren't given concrete answers and it's up for the viewer to decide who was right or wrong at the end of all this. Though it doesn't do as well at making arguments for all the characters in motivations as the manga does, it's still pretty compelling.

Art - (8) Freezing Vibration slightly increases art quality across the board for most characters. The new characters are all well designed and even minor Pandora have really nice designs. Just like the first season however I feel far too much of the scenery is too dark and dreary. This helps with the feeling of isolation of Alaska in this season, but even then I would've liked some brighter colors here and there.

Sound - (8) Freezing Vibration again has a very nice set of songs. It's ending and opening in particular are both very catchy and awesome. The themes in the anime are on par with the first season and I really seen no upgrade or downgrade in them.

Characters - (9) This is really Freezing Vibration really shines. This season introduces the top 5 world ranked Pandora to the cast. Much like the first season. each girl in this season has different reasons for being a Pandora and answers to what it means to be a soldier. They are unique and interesting for the most part. We also get to delve deeper into the characters we already know. Satellizer confronts demons from her past and has noticeably changed from season 1. We get a better idea of who Elizabeth is and what she stands for. Chiffon gets to show how she got to be number 1 in the world. Even Cassie/Cathy shows development from her battle with Satellizer at the end of season 1.

- Few Notes here
Unfortunately the majority of the characters shown in season 1 aren't in season 2 at all due to the setting.
Kazuya does kind of get the short end of the stick this season, but his relationship with Satellizer does develop.
A certain character's personality is completely different from her manga counterpart this season. Whether this is for better or worse is up to the individual.

Enjoyment (9) - I really enjoy Freezing as a whole and enjoyed season 2 more than season 1. I was never bored and was really invested in the characters and overall conflict. I really thought it was good.

Overall (9) - Freezing Vibration, like most anime that has fanservice, gets overlooked by people who don't even give it a chance. What I watched was an interesting look into Pandora and what they fight for. I liked that Satellizer and Kazuya shared the spotlight with other characters. It's got disturbing scenes in it, but I think that makes it unique. It's a show pushes people's buttons, but in my case I guess they were the right ones. If this show gets a 3rd season I'll be right there continuing the ride.

When I finished Freezing I was kind of disappointed and was all "So.... what happens next? *looks around and sees "Freezing Vibration"* WHAT?!

So I clicked on it and I lit up with happiness because I was very sad that there was no backstory on Satellizer el Bridget. I was AMAZED. The amount of detail they went into of getting to know each and every character that you saw is outstanding. You actually get to SEE how each character grew up and why they are who they are.

The story in itself is very different from its predecessor "Freezing", so don't expect to be seeing boobies flying ... left and right. It's a huge change from what you might think it is but you won't be disappointed, because it's very story driven and the action comes at you like a slap to the face from your girlfriend who just caught you cheating with her best friend.

I would STRONGLY recommend watching Freezing and Freezing Vibration back to back so you get the full experience and story

This is one of the best animes that I have watched so far. Tho it's a supernatural action anime with strong female lead, it's also of ecchi and harem genre. Many says it's boob's show. Truthfully, I myself also couldn't handle that level of ecchi when I first watched it(as I was a newbie then). But TBH when I rewatched after 1 yr, it was completely fine and the inner meaning of the anime was awesomeeeeeeeee. "Freezing" is just like another anime where humans with supernatural powers fight against many supernatural beings. It doesn't have that deep message or sth. But when you think of ... "freezing vibration", there are so many emotions and thoughts that comes to your mind. Like sad moments, action moments, sacrifices, breakdowns, anticipations, fun...in short everything.

The things that made me love freezing vibration so much are the deep meanings of this series and obv satellizer who is such a strong and badass character. Tho satellizer is strong, she has a dark past. And when you watch the anime, it naturally comes to your mind that how can a girl with such a dark past be so strong. I don't know about others but this thought encourages me to be strong no matter what.

Then again it shows how cruel social circumstances can be. Because the series shows how just because of poverty e-pandoras risked their life.

And at last it shows us that what almighty gives us is the best things we will ever get and if people try to overturn or copy nature it will only cause disasters and havoc which we can also relate to. If we think about all those disasters that are happening today, isn't these all the revenge of nature for what we have done to it?? That's exactly when the nature that is so good for us becomes the death of us. And that's exactly what is shown in freezing vibration by Amelia.

So, how can an anime which depicts so many deep meanings be bad just bcuz it's ecchi?? Honestly, I too don't like ecchi and harem but trust me this anime is too deep to think about all those unnecessary things. And obv it's written on the genre that it's ecchi. So, a friendly reminder to all those people who can't take ecchi, please don't watch it and downrate it. IT'S NOT A CRAPPY ANIME, JUST AN UNDERRATED ONE BECAUSE OF SOME PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE INNER MEANING.

Freezing did a lot of things right.

Season 2 made a significant leap with its soundtrack. There music is brilliant! The storyline is still unexciting though.

The number one complaint from critics is that boobs are present. Let me tell you something. There isn't a single moment boobs are present without being accompanied by action or emotional character thought/development. Therefore, no sacrifices are made to squeeze in fanservice like other series tend to do. That aside, the story here had potential. The problem is the students spend a ton of time fighting amongst themselves rather than directing their power to the true enemy. Because of this I ... found myself feeling like I couldn't really root for the "good guys" due to them all being incredibly ignorant assholes. But they aren't just assholes. They are really savage about it and fuck each other up pretty bad. This really made the story suffer.

If it weren't for the storyline flaw, this anime would be supreme. The art and lighting is incredible. They do a great job at creating a realistic atmosphere to pull you into their situations. The battles are extremely intense and brutal. The emotional experiences are much stronger than most series as well. You'll find yourself tearing up a lot. There is a good variety of characters, but some go underdeveloped so you don't appreciate them as much. All in all, Freezing is an excellent anime.

This is one of the few animes that right off the bat I will say, don't watch this unless you read the manhwa. The reason for this is that some necessary background to make this anime enjoyable is omitted and can only be found in the manhwa. Another failing point of the anime is that it doesn't have the same pacing or character development that the manhwa does, it feels less plot driven than it's source material. That being said, apart from the content added for the anime version the plot is astoundingly high quality for this genre, the CGI is well done and ... the anime sticks very close to the manhwa. A few notes on how to make this a more enjoyable experience:

* skip the extra fanservice added by the anime it feels forced and makes things less enjoyable.
* read the manhwa first, specifically vol. 7 - 14 which this season covers, this anime can be a bit fast paced and confusing otherwise.

Although i Mustn't comment on other reviews i'll only say that for days i see people blaming season 2 for being bad so i wanted to write this review to set things right.

First of all about the story. I want to say that it's one of the most beautifull stories i have ever seen for an anime. It had only some gaps in season 2. I give 10/10 for the storyline!

Art: Very beautifull created characters and every each of them with hiw own glamour. 10/10 for art!

Sound: Although the music didn't impress me some of the soundtracks where nicely putted in the spots ... of the story perfectly!

Characters: I'll agree with the most that Kazuya was almost MIA at season 2, but that doesn't mean it was fully bad. I liked the substories and the path that the main story took. Only thing i wanted is to see Kazuya more times! 9/10 only for Kazuya!

Enjoyment: 10/10 for an anime that promotes romance-friendship-loyalty to it's all aspects - Fan srvice ofc was top!

In Overall I give 9/10 with the only mistake that Kazuya wasn't in action so much and he didn't revealed what he can do with his powers!

P.S As far for Chiffon Death i want to say to Manga readers that ofc it let you down cause u had already the image from the manga. For me (i saw only anime) it was a pure moment with Power. Only gap that they rushed it a little!

tl;dr: For those that loved all of S1, this review may not be as helpful. For those that found S1 to have serious problems, this review may be more in tune with your perspective.

Having just watched the first season of Freezing, I had high hopes for the second season, since the first ended much better than it started, and I was not disappointed at all. Gone were the socially awkward moments in S1 that had me pausing the video and facepalming. Gone was all the plot armor surrounding the MCs from S1. And gone was a big chunk of the poorly done, shameless Ecchi in ... favor of some Ecchi related to the actual plot. S2 is a lot darker and grittier than S1, and although it's a bit less action packed in the beginning, it more than makes up for it in the end with a much wider variety of action than S1 had.

First of all, the story. The premise of S1 was mere SoL at a magic university, while Vibration starts off with a mission-based premise. It felt much more natural and, though it had less physical conflict at first, the pacing was supremely better in the buildup to the end. This season also focused a bit on a secondary story involving Satellizer that was done fairly well. Both stories going on in Vibration are darker in nature, which was a welcome shift from the rather upbeat and overly happy children from S1. The weakpoint in both main stories going on would definitely be the endings. Endings are make-or-break for me, and I felt that, although they didn't break the story, they could have been done much better.

The character developments in Vibrations were more varied than S1. Vibration focused on more characters than S1 did and, for the majority of the time, on characters that weren't the MCs. The female MC, Satellizer, still got a fair amount of development, but the Male MC, Aoi, got pretty much squat (he's a pretty boring guy anyways). Overall, I felt the characters to be more believable and making harder choices in this season than the first, especially the secondary characters. They seemed more like real people rather than plot-driven dolls.

Normally, I do not comment on art or sound, but one episode in particular had some... curious design choices. That is all I will say.

Overall, Freezing Vibration provides a much deeper and focused look into the problems plaguing the planet, and focuses more on difficult, meaningful decisions by the cast over the rather silly choices made in S1. It takes the solid final half of S1 and builds upon it.

P.S. My review may seem a little, perplexing, to some. I feel this may be because the story of the first half of S1 was not to my liking, and most people that would have liked it, may not like the premise of Vibration as much. For those that found all of S1 to be enjoyable, including the SoL at the beginning, the darker tone that Vibration sets right from the beginning will not be as appealing. It's a shame because I feel there are many people who would enjoy Vibration that were completely turned off to the show by S1.

TIP: Whenever I say PLOT, I'm talking about ASS & BREAST(aka fan service)


Freezing Vibration, a story of a world that's at war with enemies known as the NOVA, Huge & powerful as they be humanity refuses to kneel to such a threat. Militaries around the world came up with a plan to fight back against the NOVA. The Military in each country has an acadamy for men & women who attend the acadamy to hoan thier skills & become stronger to fight against the NOVA. The women who attend this school are known a Pandoras, a rare being capable of skills to bring a ... NOVA to its knees to protect humanity. Though Pandoras are powerful, they would be nothing without the aid of their Limiters. The NOVAs are capable to cast a field to FREEZE their attackers in place & also making them supceptible to an attack from the NOVA itself. To counter this, the Pandoras have male partners known as Limiters, the abilites of a Limiter is the same as a NOVA, they are able to cast a field freezing anything in its range. But this ability is normally used to counter a NOVAs freezing to give the Pandora a chance to strike at the NOVA.

Yes, this anime is a ecchie & a harem, but the PLOT only seems to revolve around a single male. Normally, that's what a harem is, but in this anime the girls who want to become more then friends are 2 girls with occasional attention from other girls around the school. I'll get into detail in my breakdown review. At any rate this show is anything but bad, it's a interesting & enjoyable watch to those who are ecchie & harem fans. If you can't take nip slips & there I advise not to watch it. But to those who want that & believe me I know what you want or you wouldn't of clicked on this anime to begin with you won't be disappointed.


BREAKDOWN REVIEW: Scoring ranging from 1-10, 1 being dredful


[9]STORY: Don't let the over-top action fool you or the PLOT keep you in a trance. They actually has some substance to it, meaning there's actually an interesting point to the story. It kinda resembles an average high school. Students fighting among each other but coming together when they face a hurtle they cant defeat alone.

[8]ART: The art in this anime is very good & an on par with a lot of other popular animes. You'll notice throughout each episode when clothes start become revealing or torn the detail tends to pop a little more making you focus primarily on the PLOT...!

[8]SOUND: Sound becomes highten in intimate situations & the music makes all the fights absolutly epic.

[8]CHARACTER: The character I'm going to cover are only 3, because I can't cover all of them.

-Kazuya Aoi- The story seems to revolve around Kazuya. As special he may be he can't help but be stuck in his older sister's shadow because of her sacrifice many years ago. But through self realization he breaks free from her shadow & becomes his own person.

-Satellizer el Bridget- A powerful Pandora who is known as the "untouchable Queen" who does not rely on anybody but herself & rather die then admit defeat to anyone & refuses to have a Limiter. Ironic as it may seem she reluctantly meets Kazyuya. Very mean & resiliant at first to Kazyuya she evenually warms up to him slowly.

-Rana Linchen- A transfer student from a an old world country & who is not aware of certain terms amongst average Pandoras. She only wishes to find her "destined one" aka her Limiter. By chance she meets Kazyuya & falls head over heals for him & is convinced that Kazyuya belongs to her NOT Saterllizer, thus forcing Kazyuya into a love triangle.


[9]ENJOYMENT: The show is not a bad watch, with the fan service it actually makes the show even better.


[9]OVERALL: Freezing overall is show worthy of praise for its originality & worth watching if you're really into ecchie & harem with a side of action packed fights.


To those looking for another ecchie & harem I recommend this show you will not be disappointed.

Enjoy =)

Well that (de)escalated pretty quickly.

Freezing returns; taking that term "literally" now, as the plot mainly takes place in Alaska. Satellizer, Kazuya, Rana, Chiffon, and Beth return; meeting other Pandoraii, getting involved with the mysterious "E-Pandora Project," and (for Satellizer) dealing with a re-opened wound that is her half-brother.

Fans of the manga version may not like the switches and changed within the anime, but everyone else who'd been watching this anime should be glad: The upskirt panty shots, nudity, gore, and useful male leads return as if they've never left. What you get more of is the "Sis-Fist" and the psychological suffering.

It's a fun watch, but compared to the first one it's not as good. In all reality it seems more focused on fan service in the fact that it's showing the abilities of everyone in more detail than in the first series.

But on that note, I'll say this has been my one problem overall with the series: Too much unnecessary nudity. It's like the writers thought the only way to draw in was by showing girls in a state of undress. No exceptions, every single episode had girls "conveniently" getting their clothes cut in a way that showed off their breasts. If it wasn't in ... a fight, there was always a guaranteed "water" scene where someone was either naked in a shower or in a swimming pool with a slow pan up from their stomachs.

I'm not usually a stickler for these types of things considering the perv I normally am, but how often it happened and for no reason was just ridiculous to the point of making the show less enjoyable.

When you create a sequel for an anime, two things can happen:
A) Surpass the original one and make something better, more beautiful.
B) Achieve a critical failure by making something not worth of its predecessor.
In Freezing: Vibration's case, sadly it would be option B.

The seeting is the same as Freezing: futuristic world, boobs, lots of blood, boobs, girls fighting each other, boobs, complicated relationships and boobs. I loved Freezing. I really did. It had a somewhat interesting plot wrapped with excellent fanservice (consisting of naked cleavages). I lost nearly 2 litres of blood watching it and I was knocked out for 3 days until my ... blood levels were replenished. Yeah , I had that many nosebleeds.

Anyway, the story continues from where it left off. The Pandoras from the East Genetics travel to Alaska to assist a program that will enable common women to become artificial Pandoras, dubbed E-Pandoras. However, it quickly becomes a conspiracy-based storyline with information wars. I thought Freezing was about three things: fanservice, aliens, battles. If I wanted to watch something like this, I would get one of the Bourne movies. Not only that, the fanservice is dramatically reduced! Yeah, in the first freezing you had girls taking damage that exposed their naked breasts that were depicted beautifully. In Vibration, EVERY NAKED CLEAVAGE IS CONCEALED BY SOME SORT OF LIGHTING! Seriously, why do something like that? Also, while Earth is supposed to be invaded by dimensional aliens called Nova, you will hardly see any of them.

The art doesn't have many differences thant Freezing. The same nice visuals and unique battle choreography for every character. However, the amount of battles was reduced significantly and they were less interesting for some reason. I felt Freezing's battles where more energetic and more dynamical.

Another thing that changes is the addition of new characters and the evolution of some of the old ones. But you will have to find out about that yourselves.

Vibration is absolutely not worthy of comparison with Freezing. It's like day and night. I would suggest Vibration if you were interested in Freezing's plot and want to see where it will lead. But if you only want fanservice, you are better off watching the first one or something else. It's a shame though.

Story: 5
Art: 8
Sound: 8
Character: 8
Enjoyment: 6
Overall: 7

Most people call it fan service, it slightly is but it's not.
The story is great!
Someone who hasn't read the manga may say it sucks but truly, the story is deep and interesting.
The Anime just hasn't gotten to that point yet.

The music is okay, it's anticipating and emotional.
Here are 2 examples.
Emotional: Sister Ost
Anticipating: Aria Ost

... The art is good also, good enough to lable Satellizer as the cutest anime character by far.

The character personalities are well to, it's very unique.

Over all, one of my favorite anime's and I'm begging for a third season.

I enjoyed the story. Although I'm a pretty open guy and enjoy a lot of anime's in which many others think is bad. Which is a good thing because I get to enjoy more.

The story progressed so well. It didn't feel rushed which is rare for a 12 episode anime. My only gripe with a lot of animes is the fact that the story feels rushed. Not the case in this anime imo.

Everything in my opinion was going well until the ending. It lacked a lot of feeling and denies any expectations. It will also make you question the point of even having "main" characters. ... If they had a better ending then maybe I would have rated the story 10/10. But it was such a disappointment I gave it a 7/10.
