Endride

If i make it past the 3 episode test of an anime, I usually stick with it to the end because of my obsession of finishing stories; there are only a few exceptions such as this anime.

The characters are quite bland and boring and the consistent bickering seems overly forced and not natural between the two main characters. This could of been a pretty awesome plot of they would of opened it up to magic and more instead of a weapon that comes out of their chest that isn't anymore powerful than normal weapons.

the power to hide a weapon at ... will is not all that exciting.

In this review contains minor spoilers( if you have seen past episode 3 there shouldn't be a problem), nothing that would ruin the plot, i am merely reviewing the state of the anime by describing the huge flaws in the characters.

The main character, a boy in episode 1 practically loves gemstones in search of one that will bring him to another world. However once finds that gemstone and arrives in that work all i seems to want is to leave and return back to his normal life. To me at least this seems to be quite the contradiction and bad character design, to see a ... boy who is described as "charismatic" and "brave" enter into this new world that he was looking for and seems only to complain and what to leave the instant he gets there. The prince which i believe to be equally as terrible as the MC seems to derive the majority of his hate for the current king from the fact that one day he heard to maids talking and apparently the current king was an enemy of this "true" father. For some reason this lead to a cycle of hate towards the man who raised him and clothed him. Just because of that weak reason led the prince to attempt to kill him and even overthrow him. Some may say well the prince befriended his teacher and this king exiled him, well the teacher defied the king not because he had scientific reasons or any type of evidence that the surface world would destroy Endora but just because of a "gut" feeling that it would be bad. For a man who claims to be a scientist he doesn't appear to be very convincing in his role and it makes sense why such an individual would be banished for challenging authority with no evidence and little reasoning. Overall the ideals and reasoning of the main characters made this anime lackluster and quite bad, i have not seen much of the anime but from what i have seen its a time waster at best and not something worth investing into.
