Synopsis

Rygart Arrow is different compared to the other people in the continent of Cruzon: he is unable to control quartz, branded an "un-sorcerer." Despite this, he still befriends the future king and queen of Krisna—Hodr and Sigyn—as well as Zess, the younger brother of the Athens Commonwealth's Secretary of War.

Several years later, Rygart discovers that there is a war brewing between Krisna and Athens. While visiting Binonten, the capital city of Krisna, he learns that his misfortune as an un-sorcerer enables him to pilot an ancient Golem, a unique ability that quartz-wielding users lack.

As Zess leads one of the Athenian strikes upon the capital, Rygart joins the battle with his newfound power in hopes of mending the schism between the two nations.

*Note: This is a review of all six films.*

tl;dr: A mecha anime with great action and characters with a lot of depth but very slow development.

Break Blade is a mecha anime, though unlike most it’s fantasy rather than sci-fi. It’s set in a world where most everyone has the ability to magically manipulate quartz and bend it to their will using what is dubbed sorcery. This allows especially skilled sorcerers to pilot enormous mechs known as Golems. However, the protagonist Rygart is one of the exceptionally rare few who can’t use sorcery at all. This would normally mean that he has no place on the ...

Mixed Feelings
INTRO: Broken Blade was a bit of a let down for me. I broke one of my own cardinal rules for watching anime; I had expectations. I saw the nice art, I saw that it was from I.G., and that it was an OAV, saw some good-looking characters and therefore launched right into the assumption that it HAD to be great! And maybe it is, but it certainly wasn't my cuppa! I was kinda bored throughout this series....and I'm not sure why Broken Blade isn't classed as a series because you can't watch any of them independently or out of sequence, that's enough for it ...

This is a review over the first 6 movies though I assume all the movies they will release.

To keep this short 100 people dead in a different country will have less of an impact on you than the death of one close person. Sadly no one told the writer of this. So many people die which is fine, but it is all like omg they are dying and the bad people are laughing manically. Sadly because at best I know one thing about them they are basically strangers and when they die as soldier I could not care less. We have all ...
