Xenosaga The Animation

Beautiful world, beautiful characters. I'm a Xenosaga fan and I wholly enjoyed the anime. The ending really made me tear up, would recommend especially in Japanese dub. One of my favorite animes of all time. One thing I'd note is that the anime removes a couple major parts of the story from the game, possibly due to time constraints.
My favorite characters here are KOS-MOS and Jr., they were amazing Albedo took a while for me to get used to due to the massive vocal change, but by the end Gremillion's pretty good!

I love the blend of 3D animation and regular anime style as ... well, really brings out the battleships especially in combat. One thing I'd change is the forceness. Please don't concrete in rushed segments for the sake of getting to the really good parts, take your time and really flesh the story out for when the time is really right! Other than that, amazing!

Being a huge fan of the Xenosaga universe it was bound to happen I would eventually give this anime a try and I must say I'm quite suprised. Those that have played the game will see changes however there not in bad taste and the changes make the anime flow smooth. To be honest I think it was well done for only being 12 eps they had alot to cram in that amount of time and they did it and made it fun to watch.

If you have not played the games don't worry its still worth watching in my option

Short review:

This show is just OK. I've never played Xenosaga, and came at this with a fresh set of eyes. I found this show a bit slow and boring at parts. Sometimes the audio is mixed strangely so you can't hear what the characters are saying.

I still had fun though, but not THAT much fun. I finished the show an hour ago and it left no impact on me aside from the last 3 episodes, which even those, though way better than the other parts of the show, where still pretty OK.

The show is OK. Fans will probably like it.
