Preliminary Spoiler
Nov 19, 2008
I must say, the concept of an anime using a wuxia context really intrigued me. But in the end, it was yes and no everything that I could expect. The very bad news is, it’s about 90% of your typical shounen anime. Such characterizations and development is present, but it’s already stuff you’ve seen before in typical shounen anime. The good news is, it’s in a completely different context and it makes those qualities feel fresher. But what I personally was expecting was a balanced mixed of the qualities of anime and wuxia. Taitou is your typical big hearted and small-brained overly righteous teenage hero ...

Preliminary (15/26 eps)
The art style is similar to FMA since the creator seems to be the same ^_^, so it's nice/cute.
Story-wise it is a bit cliche (the whole epic power-struggle, and betrayal themes) but it does have it's own unique characteristics which is cute and makes you want to see more.
The character development is well done which as usual enhances the anime's enjoyment.
Overall entertainment is very good so far, so if you liked FMA, any martial-arts/fantasy-type genre stories you willl not be disappointed with this anime. Also, I think the plot will end up getting more complicated (I'm hoping lol XP) so there is much ...

There were so many negative reviews I felt compelled to leave a positive one because I actually quite liked it.

The anime itself I feel isn't as bad as others are making it out to be. I feel the reason it leaves a bad taste in people's mouth is because they try to over complicate things.

The story is a straight forward good vs evil fantasy set in a fictional ancient empire. It's the classic save the world from an overpowered evil power hell bent on wreaking havoc. The plot is somewhat predictable and the characters lack depth but that isn't necessarily a bad thing for an ...

In the sea of shounen anime, it takes a lot to stand out in the crowd. No matter how hard a work tries to be different, it is constantly compared to its genre-kin. Such is the fate of any work. Jyuushin Enbu: Hero Tales (HT) is a series that plays it safe, yet somehow finds a way to stick with viewers even after the last somewhat cliche scenes.

Story: 8

HT is a story about a simple-minded young man named Taito who is just living his life with his family, minding his own business, when Keiro, a power-hungry warlord busts down his door and demands for ...

This is a great show for anyone who like an anime in which the good guy triumphs by finding strength from his beliefs. It's about two warriors fated to face each other in battle, and the four (actually five but one doesn't do anything worth mentioning until the last few episodes) warriors who find themselves draw to this epic conflict in one way or another. There is also the tag along sister, who despite adding a little comedy and moral support, doesn't do much fighting. The action scenes were great, the messages and philosophy were cool, but not so insistant that they take away from ...
