Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

WARNING SPOILERS OF A SHORT REVIEW (NOT REALLY JUST EXPRESSING MY OPINION)

i mean seriously, i watched this off a hunch from a bit i saw on youutube, was expecting a parodic mecha anime of some sorts, but after ep 25 credits rolled i just stood up, turned 360 degrees and left. the characters, go literally nowhere, there is no backstory. the battle scenes are just the same thing. there is no implied shipping or room for any shipping, all the characters are petty and not to mention, the transformation scene, is the same EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

The anime (Art and Character Design) is cute, Pacing is horrible, soundtrack is repetitive, battles are short and repetitive, characters are not well fleshed out and lack true depth, the world isn't fully thought out etc

This anime has a lot of issues, and whilst I would consider it a "Bad" anime it wasn't enough to simply just drop the anime.

As I write this review, I am on Episode 7 and not much has happened in terms of character development, of both the Mains (I'll canonically refer to them as the trio) and the villains.

Whilst the anime is doing well in terms of the animation and ... the Art, I'd recommend people skip this show if they are bored.

If you are looking for good action with plot , You will like this series. As for romance, This series is really unfair.

Story 5/10 : I would have given 10 if romance was satisfying but it's sooo unfair . Story starts with a girl saved our hero by giving CPR xD i won't spoil but story is really good , you will be surprised with character's connection.


Art and character 9/10 : Art is Great , I just have to say, Tauburn is the most pimping mecha in the history of ever. All the Cybodys have very vivid and special qualities, making them different ... to each other. All with very good color schemes, and unique designs. The characters are pretty well done. And when each star driver " Apprivoise " they show off with their style is shown really cool , despite the fact that main hero's body is a bit off with T-shirt :P.Well characters are young and are a bit more proportioned.


sound 10/10 : Voice acting, opening theme song, ending theme song, background music, sound effects and a special song that plays whenever they fight.... It suits the anime perfectly. There's really not much to say here. No complaints whatsoever. 10.


Note : I want everyone in this world to watch this series. Specially those who like romance more then action. I won't spoil anything but those who really like romance must watch this series. " Please "
