Freezing

First of all I have to say this, this series is really underrated!
It should be at minimum #500, and not #1794.

The story is pretty exciting, you wont get bored for sure.
Its actually about a Pandora girl "el Bridget, Satellizer" who doesn't want to be touched by anyone because of the trauma she had in her past. But then she gets to see a boy called "Aoi, Kazuya". She starts to get feelings for Kazuya and let him touch her body, normally she nearly killed people who touched her. After that Kazuya wants to be her Limiter but she is too shy to accept and confront ... Kazuya, that's actually how the story starts...

So every Pandora girl has an Limiter, except for Satellizer due to her trauma. Normally to fight the enemy Nova, the girls need Limiters who can Freeze the enemy movement. That is only possible if those both partners have done the Baptism (joining). But Kazuya is able to Freeze without the need of Baptism, like his sister "Aoi, Kazuha".

So actually its pretty interesting how the story continues, I really enjoyed this series, hope there will be an Season 2 in future, the ending was open.

======

Now about the rating,

Story 8, is very interesting and enjoyable!

Art 7, the art could have been better, but still its pretty decent!

Sound 9, the sound is very good, the effects/fighting sounds are really good, soundtracks was very nice, I really liked the Nova screaming sound!

Character 9, nothing to tell about it, characters are awesome!

Enjoyment 9, really enjoyed it, no boring episodes or childish stuff.
Blood splatters, slashed body parts, the fighting scenes are all topnotch!

Overall : 9/10

Well, this is my first review in this site since i just logged here and i feel like giving reviews in animes that i personally like or don't like. I'm a great fan of ecchi animes XD so i decided to make this review for freezing that is personally one of the few good ecchi animes around with a decent characteristics. Well, lets no waste time and start!

Story: 6/10

The story is set in a futuristic wold where the earth is being attacked by aliens called novas that comes from a other dimension. In order to stop it, modified genetically girls are created using some nova ... fragments on them called stigmas in order to fight novas using new abilities, those girls are called Pandoras. The story starts with a young japanese boy called Kazuya Aoi, that enters in a special school that trains both pandoras and limiters(limiters are male partners of pandoras that uses a freezing ability in order to stop the opponent's moviments). As the story keeps going, Kazuya meets a older second year girl called Satellizer el Bridget, that are the strongest pandora of her class but yet she don't have a limiter for her. Kazuya somehow feels attached to satellizer since she really looks like his old deceased sister that died during a nova clash years ago. So he decides that he will become satellizer's limiter even if most of his classmates warn him about She don't like having limiters. And so the story keeps going.

Where we have see this before? Monsters attacking the earth and the humans...Female warriors were created, using same powers as the monsters for defeat them...a old female protagonist having a newer male partner on her side...? Many animes are like that, a clearly example is Claymore. The story itself is not so original and also have a very slow pacing, with few things explained. What makes interesting and unique are the events, the diffeent setting(futuristic setting) and the atmosphere of the anime that becomes slighty dark as the animes goes but do not expect something deep. For now, i won't critique the story totally since is still in the beginning, Freezing's story is good but it had potential to be better with more things explained.

Art: 7/10
I will be mixed in this part, in other words, i will be positive and negative about the art and designs. I personally liked Freezing's art, even if there is no such deep details, i liked it, principally the effects during the fight scenes. What i don't really liked is...some designs of the gils in the beginning of episode 1. I reallyl liked satellizer's design and some other characters'design aswell, but there some girls that...how i say...had some unnecessary designs like very short pants, short shits, short skirts and etc. As i said, i like ecchi animes, but there things that are really unnecessary, like those designs that i told, it makes the girls looks immoral somehow...idk..is hard to explain.

Sound: 7/10
The Op and ED is good, is not so memorable with that feeling of "want more of it" , but yet the OSTs were very good. It fits every scene(sad, fight, etc) with those piano, violin and orchestral marvelous themes.

Characters: 3/10
Now...the weakest part of the show, the characters. There are very few FEW enjoyable characters in this show, incluing the main characters of the show, Satellizer; Kazuya and Rana. Well since we started about the main charactes how about talking about them? Lets start then

Kazuya Aoi: he is your typical correct and unmotivated shounen hero with those repetitive typic phrases like "i will never leave you side" or "i will protect senpai no matter what", making girls attached to him. Kazuya is neither likeable or dislikeable, he is a OK character but is not a character that will motivate us or catch us somehow. The problem of kazuya is because he don't have anything new that lock us on him. we have see too many of his kind, thats ends being a boring and repetitive character. 1.5/5

Satellize el Bridget: Satellizer is a typical strong female warrior, with great powers that most of the times you will think she is OP XD. Besides of the being a strong and unstoppable woman, she is very shy and have unconfident mood and also she don't like being touched duo the trauma of her past. Satellizer somehow catches me deep, even if the authors used the same formula on her for being a typical strong character(just like erza, clare, teresa and etc), there is something new , that is her background story that was very unexpected and also very dark, causing us to enjoy the character in some terms. The only thing that i don't like about her is because she constantly says "i won't lose to anyone" and she don't have any other interesting phrase. =/ if you repeat this phrase a lot, it will comes a time that you will be sick for always see it, but yet, is a good character. 3.5/5

Rana Linchen:She is that agitated happy and confident character and also rival(of love) of Satellizer about Kazuya(since they both start to have feelings for him as the series goes). She is simple, honest and like kazuya, have the "Correct" will, also she is attached to kazuya and always plan to be his pandora. Rana is a mixed character because you will feel like her only hole is being a rival of love and nothing more. Is not really interesting but yet you somehow will like it her scenes, since she is a funny character and likeable in the same time. Rana should have a better background story, since she is just a fighter that ends having love for a main character and only that, i was kinda expectating more for this character, but yet, is more better than kazuya that somehow entertain us. 2.25/5

Honorable Mentions: Chiffon Fairchild, Cassie Lockheart, Elizabeth Mably, Ticy Phenyl(when i make the review on freezing vibration, i will tell more about them, since is when they characters gain a little more of focus)

Now i have told about the main characters and some honorable mentions. Now i will tell the problem of the characters variety in freezing....they are just simple...not interesting. I will explain, in the first episodes and more to the near of the final(1-9), is satellizer fightning with diffeent pandoras or a random fanservice. After the pandoras fight with satellizer, they basically...leave the anime, they don't appears anymore and if they do, is just in a scene. Most of the characters don't have a good background story, interesting concepts or developing characteristics, and is just there for fight with satellizer and then leave the anime like it doesn't existed =/. Freezing have a very poorly amount of memorable characters, most of them are annoying or egocentric in some terms, and you will end hating or not likeing them, there times that will don't even care if they appears or no in the scene. Characters are not very well developed.

Enjoyment: 6/10
I Pesonally enjoyed Freezing for being a anime with different concepts and environments, set in a future atmosphere. Even with the flaws and mistakes, you somehow will enjoy the fights, character relationships and few stories and events that somehow will lock you even if is not too much.

Overall: 7/10
If you are searching for a deep plot, deep characters, great sounds, great arts and great enjoyment with replay valuable, skip freezing. Freezing is a ecchi anime with, let's say, decent characteristics in terms of Arts, Sounds and few background stories and some interesting events, but this anime have a personal group target, that are the ecchi fans. The story for now is focus in the relationship of Rana, Satella and Kazuya, with a slow pacing plot. If you are fan of boobies, pretty girls, nude, love triangle, fights and some emotional scenes , you will enjoy it, if you don't then don't even watch. Soon i will give my review of freezing vibration...and i have really many things to talk about it.

Pros:
+Good Animation Quality
+Stunning Effects
+Good Atmosphere/Unexpected Events
+Balanced Harem/Ecchi scenes and Fan service

Cons:
- Poorly Developed Characters, not a great variety of interesting characters
-Story have a slowy pacing. Many things left unexplained
-Most Episodes will feel repetitive

Despite being a female, Ecchi and fanservice are two things I don't mind in my anime. That is, if it is done in moderation and is not acting as the crutch of the series. Unfortunately, Freezing is one of those anime, one that rides on its fanservice.

Now for an ecchi/ harem anime, we shouldn't come in with high expectations that you're going to get amazing, dynamic characters, a killer story-line, and perfect pacing. 90% of the time you're going to get the exact opposite. Well I came in with my expectations low and by the end of Freezing I had that feeling I hate having ... when I finish a show: The fact that I just watched something that was either really bad or only decent, when the show could have been so much more.

Story: See, this disappointment mostly came from the story. Its not your typical slice of life harem, its the seemingly less taken supernatural harem, one where it actually seems like its at least trying to have a story. Its got an interesting backstory, where super powered girls called Pandora's are assisted by their male Limiters to eradicate an alien threat in a futuristic world. The original mangaka seemed like they took care in crafting this world and the Pandora's power. But the anime seems to want to focus more on tits and ass. You won't even really see the alien threat (the Nova) until near the end. The anime seemed to only show battles between the Pandora, needlessly squabbling for who knows what and who really gives a shit.And these fights are really there to expose the girls, who's clothes seem to be made out of tissue paper. Long story short: Very interesting concept, not realized to its full potential. 4/10

Characters: Most of the characters in this show are forgettable. They simply exist to either have their ass handed to them by Satelizer or for eye candy. Most of the female side characters are bitchy, violent, and unlikable. I can't even remember the names or faces of any of the male side characters. They are far and few. The 3 notable main characters are a bit more interesting. Satellizer el Bridget is quite the badass. A few minutes into the first episode you see her whooping ass and tearing her opponents apart. We find out later that she is quite the shy girl in reality, and as the series progresses, she unfolds in typical tsundere fashion. Kazuya Aoi, is probably one of the dumbest things ever. He's not totally unlikable, despite being the stereotypical loser who managed to score a hot girl. But I don't know what else to call someone who shoves his face in the chest of a girl (the UNTOUCHABLE queen at that) 5 seconds after meeting her. Seeing his relationship with Satellizer bloom was one of the more interesting parts of the anime. I don't really care for this guy though. Rana Linchen was my favorite character by far. She's nothing revolutionary or dynamic, but she's funny, hyper, and an interesting rival. 5/10

Art and Sound: The insert tracks weren't anything special. The opening and ending themes were good. Now the art...oh the art. This anime doesn't look like it was animated in 2011 at all. It looks like an anime made in the late 90s/early 00's. Characters and backgrounds are bland and flat. You would think that they would have did better in the animation department, seeing as this is an ecchi and the focus is mostly on beautiful busty girls. 3/10

Enjoyment: Well I sat through the whole thing if that means something. I don't mind fanservice at all, but Freezing was a bit much. I enjoyed the fights with the Nova toward the end, and I liked the basis of the story, and even liked the 3 main characters. But I wouldn't say I fully enjoyed this anime. 6/10

Overall: It was interesting enough to keep my attention and root for the main characters but Freezing really doesn't live up to its potential. It has action, it has romance, it has aliens, it has magic, it sounds as if it'd be perfect. If they decided to make a second season with more focus on story and characters with better art, then I'd definetly watch it. But as it stands now, Freezing is just average. 5/10

***THIS IS A POORLY COPIED VERSION OF CLAYMORE'S BASIC PLOT***

The WHOLE DAMN PLOT is copied. Anyone who has seen Claymore can EASILY see this. The ppl behind this copied everything down, even at some points, to character personalities!

So im not going to go in a lot of detail since its easy to see the flaming obvious plagiarism.

Let me break it down.

Main plot that was copied:
Nova = Youma
... Pandora mode = Yoki release mode
Main heroin got her power the same way
An organization doing experiments to create warriors
only females can become warriors thru implants

Copied characters/personalities:
No. 2, elizabeth mably of Year 3 = No. 2, Irene, from 77th claymore generation
No. 1, Chiffon "The Unmatched Smiling Monster" Fairchild = No. 1 of the 77th generation Teresa of the Faint Smile (called a "monster" as well)

Differences:
Cheap ecchi
immaturity
romantic touch
fail comedy
other slight modifications to characters and plot to make it look more like ur typical cheap ecchi, fail comedy shounen anime.

Highly NOT RECOMMENDED for ppl seeking true action with a seinen plot. the manga tags said its seinen but it AINT.its ur average cheap shounen show.

How do you like your boobs? Bare? Ample? Frequent?
If you answered yes to any or all of the above, Freezing is perfect for you!
If not, weeeell, you're not going to have such a great time.

I had to mention the boobs at the start because the one of the first thing you'll notice is how much fan-service there is in the show. There is not one single episode where a girl doesn't get her breasts out. Seriously. Not even one. They'll come out during fights after they take a hit on the chest, even if its a punch. I'm not sure how punching somebody makes their ... clothes explode, but that's what happens. This, and the frequent panty-shots take you out from the experience. While they would be fine if they were littered about occasionally (gotta keep the viewership interested), the sheer volume of them is just too much, not to mention the timing. There will be numerous serious moments which will be broken because you can see a bunch of panties, or a girl has her boobs hanging out, and this just breaks the atmosphere.

The show also throws in some shower scenes for no real reason other than to show off some more skin. And they even change a story sequence from the manga (which it's adapted from) so that they can show off some more boobs, and the intermissions/half-way points in episodes just display the profiles female characters, while showing them off in skimpy-ass clothing. Because, why not?

The show has a pretty interesting premise (read the synopsis), though it can't exactly be called exactly original. I would therefore have scored this higher, except it doesn't even get onto dealing with the alien Nova until episode 9 (out of 12). That's 3 quarters already into the series. Until then, the Nova are only shown in a couple of flashbacks, and the show just deals with in-school drama, which is far less compelling compared to facing off against towering unknown invaders. Fortunately, when it finally does get to the characters encountering the Nova, Freezing really picks up the pace and it starts to really feel like its going somewhere. The action gets more intense and you finally start to take an interest.
One small gripe about the show is how some important information is revealed by one character just talking to themselves in order to explain and reveal some plot details. While this does a fine job at explaining what's going on and providing a bit more backstory, it doesn't make much sense in terms of why the character is saying that to nobody.

For the most part, the art is pretty good. The characters look good, although the main character's breasts just seemed a couple cup-sizes too large. And while the designs aren't unique or anything, they are well drawn. However, the art does suffer when compared to the manga, especially in the design of the 'Pandora Mode' that some characters can go into. In the manga, their outfit changes almost completely, and they have a more sci-fi/battle-suit look to them, but in the anime, the characters just have this white glow around them, without changing the way they look at all. This just seems lazy.
The Nova look great. They look smooth and elegant, and appropriately alien, while also carrying this sense of power. However, their body parts don't move (although this is probably to create an atmosphere of strangeness around them) and they just hover about. The overall animation for the show is mostly smooth, with only a few occurrences when things look a bit choppy.

The characters were a big weak point in the series for me, and there just weren't any mains who I liked. Kazuya is annoying and needy, Satellizer is just not likeable due to her personality and Arthur (really a side character later on) is one of the one sycophantic anime characters I have ever seen. I initially like Rana, until she turned out to be very petty. In fact, the only characters who I did like (or at least, not hate) only appeared a couple times throughout the series, and even then, only for a few minutes.

Personally, I didn't like the music, but that's just my taste (I generally don't like anime music). I felt that the voice acting in Japanese was good, fitting for most of the characters, and I would have given the sound a higher rank, but then I watched the English dub. Many of the voices didn't fit their characters, and at times, the acting wasn't very good and were hard to take seriously. The English dub is pretty horrible. If you're going to watch it, watch it in Japanese.

Overall, Freezing has pretty good art and animation, but wasn't as good as it's manga source, and an interesting, albeit unoriginal, premise. Unfortunately, the story just didn't get interesting until three quarters into series, and this was too late to completely salvage it. The characters were a weak point as they weren't very likable and while the Japanese language version is fine, the English dub suffers from poor voice-work. The show is brought down from a 6.5, to a 5 because of slow story, poor characters and the overload of fan-service, sometimes even breaking the atmosphere and seriousness of some situations.

Story:5 Art:7 Sound:6 Character:4 Enjoyment:5
Overall:5

This is exactly that case, when everything seems to be and not bad, but something is missing. The first thing that immediately attracts attention, it is quite beautiful and high-quality art, locally flavored 3D graphics. Abundance of fan service scenes really pleases the eyes and delivers the present pleasure. Girls are naked about and without reason, be it destruction clothes during a fight, specially adjusted situations or ridiculous accidents and it is necessary admit, that the young Valkyries, but in a different way the warlike-chans ways could not be called, looks like really erotic and attractive! At the same time, the picture is replete with ... bloody and even very cruel scenes, which, although not very different sophistication and sadism, but quite fully illustrate the scenes of bloody violence and even a frank cut. And that's all it would be good, if not a couple of frankly annoying moments. First and foremost unbearable in this picture, this frank enchantment of all the heroes of the male. While the chan is shown not only from the erotic and bloodthirsty sides, but also with a very nice, you can even say kawaii points of view, guys and especially the main character, exhibited full amoeba and nonentities. It looks so disgusting and annoyingly, that spoils all the pleasant impression of frequent and colorful explosions and mass naked female bodies. The second obvious omission is the romantic component of the anime. Her or generally should not have been or it was necessary to continue and concretize relations of the heroes. It is not possible without a shudder to look at the mutual antics of the characters and the nascent harem, when everything is openly standing still and is not going to move at all in any direction. In history, too many dramatic moments concerning the fate heroes and it is quite understandable why their relationship develops so slowly, but that's why I would like specifics and completeness, rather than a frankly cheap fanservice ending in style main character blunt brake, and all the women undress before his eyes. In general, these moments pretty spoiled impressions, but due to ART and bloodthirstiness still deserves the 9/10.
Bonus anime ending song just 10/10 erotic masterpiece and EARGASM!

VIOLENCE AND DRAMA AND BOOBIES OH MY!

I first started watching this gem when I finished another anime and was confused as all hell at the start. But what I DIDN'T notice is the teeny-weeny text at the start of each episode (I discovered this at episode two) so I went back and everything made sense. *AHEM*

Freezing MAY not be for everyone but for me personally it was my first "ecchi" anime and I nearly fainted at the first scene showing breasts as I was watching it at work and didn't know what ecchi was at the time. That aside the story is essentially about finding ... a partner, which I believe was well done BUT I could live without the confusion of everything leading up to the end. I had to rewatch a couple episodes and figure out what happened to lead up to the climax of this short series. The character development and how they interact with each other was the bread and butter of this show and you would be insane to not give credit to how well it was brought together. You start with a young woman who is extremely endowed with a HUGE detest of being touched and you slowly get to see who she really is with the help of her partner who she reluctantly chose at the last minute. The love triangle is there as well which I enjoyed, it added a few laughs and comic relief which I believe for a very intense anime such as this one needed

Overall if you're into action-packed anime girls kicking ass and asking questions later this is the anime for you and TRUST ME, you will love it just as much as I did

It was a very good anime. I have not read the manga (as I am not a huge manga reader), but I quite enjoyed the anime counterpart. The characters were well developed, the storyline was well thought out, and the fight scenes... were good and bad. I liked the Pandora vs Pandora fighting, but then when they fought the Novas, it became a little boring and monotonous. (You kill them this one way, in this one process, every time, oh look people died, new skill!) One of my only drawbacks, (aside from some of the fights) was the art. It just seemed a little outdated, ... in my opinion. But, otherwise, a very good anime!

I loved this show because i thought it was enjoyable,funny,romantic and a lot of tits.i first saw freezing on youtube where there was ova episodes and they were short but i liked it-me gustaaaaaaa.i thought the whole show was gonna be like that as well which i would have loved but i thought the plot and story were as good.i loved the characters so much and i loved the relationship between satalliete and aoi kazuha.after i watched freezing first season i then watched freezing vibration which is the second season and i loved both of them and it also had a good ending which i ... loved.10/10 for me.I hope they make a season 3 because its great

Freezing is one of those shows where it had a lot of potential, to a certain extent, and it didn't use it as well as it could have. Then again, it's also one of those shows that would be better if it didn't use an excessive amount of nudity even during the most serious moments. (Looking at you HOTD)
This review will be spoiler free.
I do admit, the show was entertaining, though, and there were quite a few moments that stood out to me. I find that the romance was one of the best aspects, although there's an annoying love triangle involved. (Don't get me wrong, ... love triangles are alright as long as they're not outright fighting over the main character and shoving themselves on top of him all the time.)
Either way, I'll try to keep this review nice and simple.
Story: 7
The story is somewhat similar to shows like Attack on Titan, whereas it's a large group of Teens/Adults who are trained specifically to fight off a race of superior beings, defending the planet from it's demise. Despite this, there's actually only one real fight (Well, it's against four of the beings at once, so I suppose it's four fights) against said beings that they're defending Earth against. I give it a 7 because of this, and, due to the fact that they spent more time showing the teens fight each other instead of the creatures, the story wasn't really brought out until the last few episodes. It was somewhat explained in the beginning, but it really all comes out in the end. I just found it ridiculous that the students were killing off each other instead of, you know, the giant alien race that's trying to destroy the planet.
Art: 8
The animation is a bit above average. Intense and fairly well animated fight scenes, good amounts of blood and gore, and of course... boobs. Though, when it comes to the boobs, I say they're overdoing it. Now you may ask; "How can you overdo boobs? They're BOOBS." Well, when the show is trying to be serious, like for example, a sad and emotional death, but a large pair of melons is covering the screen (I say this because whenever the girls fought each other, literally the first part to rip off their clothes was their chest, and their boobs would hang out, nipples and all, throughout each fight.) it's hard to take it seriously. Other than that, the character designs are... interesting, I suppose, and overall animation is great, again, above average.
Sound: 10
I give the sound a 10 because of this show's outstanding soundtrack. Seriously, the soundtrack is just marvelous and made each and every scene better than it actually was. Nice, sad and atmospheric piano tracks during emotional scenes or intense and fast paced full out orchestras during fight scenes. I myself and looking somewhere to get the soundtrack, because it's very well composed.
Characters: 6
The characters were alright. Some typical and annoying characters, such as the proud and arrogant school girl who's rich and calls herself a princess, (including the annoying laugh they do.) and a sort of bland main character in which all he really wants is to protect the ones he cares about. Pardon my French, but most of the girls are this school are straight out bitches. Seriously. I wanted to slap almost every single one in the damned face. All they wanted was to beat up the main characters, to the point of near death, and laugh in their face. They wouldn't leave them alone and it was aggravating. My favorite character, honestly, was the main love interest; Satellizer L. Bridget. At first glance, she seems to be the typical "Most powerful girl in the school, who is a bitch and tells the character to leave her alone", somewhere along those lines. This is actually wrong. She's strong, and tends to not talk to anyone, but when the main character, Kazuya is near, the she becomes girly, shy and flat out adorable. Especially with those glasses. Unf.
Enjoyment: 8
Overall it was a fun series to watch. Great action scenes, amazing soundtrack, adorable main love interest and fairly good stand out emotional scenes. The story is average, but enjoyable when it finally reaches it's climax. Apparently it doesn't finish until season 2, which I haven't seen yet, and I've seen that season 2 isn't even better. But, I'll judge that for when I see it.
Anyway, I recommend this for anyone who likes see boobs and butts during intense fight scenes and even emotional ones. Basically if you like shows like Highschool of the Dead for the boobs and action then this show is for you.

Alright, so I immediately compare this anime to a sexed up Sci-Fi (non mechs) version of Claymore. It IS SOO RARE THAT YOU FIND A BLOODY, GORY, SEXY, FIGHTING ANIME that doesn't take place in a stupid high school. Technically it's a "battle academy" and they are trained as elite warriors, but unfortunately they still have the lame overused school uniforms (I have no idea why japan is so obsessed with making anime related about school/dress code)

When you first start watching this anime, the first thing you'll keep finding yourself saying is "Kick his Ass, Kick his ass!" This regarding the annoying little kid following ... the dangerous heroin around abruptly grabbing her when they first meet. But for some reason she doesn't do it!

I had to put that in before I told you guys about the pros and cons about this series lol!

Pros:
*Awesome fighting
*blood/semi gore
*Sexy Echi
*Not in a high school/middle school setting
*When fighting, armor/clothes get torn
*Good character development
*Sci-fi not involving mechs
*Good graphics
*Good music

Cons:
*Semi school girl outfits
*At times Echi goes a little too far
*Could use more gore
*Needs more seasons!!!

This is a total disgrace.

I thought this would be some-sort of admirable anime, but I was disgusted by the ecchi nature of exploited girls and the depressing point of view towards girls/women.

But, its a disease in today's anime world! Goodness Murphy Almighty! Its flooding the minds of mangakas like a raging atomic mudbutt with severe backlash.

So, to be a really popular mangaka noadays all you need to do is minus nintynine percent of the clothes on girls, make them dumb and ridiculously enlarged their breasts to the extreme, and you'll be on your way to riches in no time!

Conclusion: This anime/manga is a Dissapointing, ... Vulgar, Unacceptable, Talentless, Waste of my time.

COURT ADJOURNED.

I honestly have mixed feelings about this anime. The nerdy part of me, who loves action-packed animes with constant blood and gore, whole heartedly enjoyed this anime. The romantic/over-analytical part of me, could not be more annoyed with certain aspects of this anime that seemed to disgust me.

Let's start with the nerdy side. The action was good. Very good in fact. There was a lot of gore and blood, as well as some ridiculous moves and action sequences I couldn't even possibly imagine. It was very well done, and the plot was definitely interesting and unique. However, I will say that there wasn't as much ... action as I predicted, and some of the battles were all hyped up and somewhat of a letdown. But still, nonetheless, enjoyable.

The analytical romantic part of me, hated many parts of this anime. If you don't like boobs, naked anime women, a few scenes that could be even considered soft core hentai, then you will not enjoy this anime. It seems every chance the anime gets, there are naked boobs, as though it's just to keep the attention of the 12 year old boys (no offense). But if you're like me, and can handle the ridiculous amount of unenessary nudity because the action mostly makes up for it, then you should still like it. Though, this anime is meant to create a second season, and once again, the huge hype of the ending battle was just a huge disappointment, and there's a good chance that all of these negative factors add up to an anime that you may not want to watch. And as for me always enjoying the romantic parts of animes, this one drove me insane. In the end, I wanted to punch all of the main characters for their ignorance.

To conclude, it was a solid anime. A lot of moments I absolutely loved, other moments not so much. I'm interested to see where the second season goes. This anime could be your friend, or your enemy, it just depends on personal preference.

Evangelion with tits.
Both anime's have an MC with a mad scientist, distant dad engineering their youngest son who seems to be a bit of a pussy into the ultimate weapon against a giant enemy that comes from basically nowhere.
Replace giant fighting robots made by parts the enemy for super powered bitches made by parts of the enemy and you have evang. v2 Ft. Tits galore.

So, finally, I was worried for a moment there, got all the way to ep.11 and then no ep.12, but fortunately after a couple weeks ep.12 was there, so now that it's complete I can give my take, ok nothing really out of the ordinary plot-wise, aliens from another dimension invade in order to destroy humanity, old hat as far as anime plots go, but what's new and exciting is the Pandora concept, a school for warrior girls and their male assistants, " Limiters", very cool, so you have a school-age drama set on the backdrop of fighting evil aliens bent on human destruction, I ... very much liked the way the girl rivalries were brutally played out in act of combat, *and I warn you, it gets pretty violent at times, there's no holding back on blood, maybe not as extreme as Elfen Lied or Afro Samurai, but rough enough, not for the squeamish, and ironically, the fiercest battles are between the girls themselves, the action and pace are pretty good and the actors are excellent in giving the characters life and making the audience care about them, actually my only criticism is that there's a little too much "ecchi", don't get me wrong, I'm a guy, and yes I do watch "hentai", but sometimes I think that ecchi is over done in modern day anime, it's ok to throw it in now and again during a story, just like you would a little comic relief, so as to temper the action, but in Freezing there's a panty and boob shot for every couple of frames, even when the girls are trying to cut each other to shreds, a little over done I'd say; otherwise an excellent series with lots of action and drama, the animation is 1st class, and as I said before the acting is excellent, so I major recommend for RONin

Im honet I really like this anime because has many SCI FI and is not a common anime...

Is a good story and has many characters with many differents personalities.

But I think that has many characteristic of Neon Genesis Evangelion, in the 10th chapter show a corpose.... like Lilith in NGE.... pretty similar.

The main building of the school is divided in sectors... like Centrla Dogma.
And enemys (Novas)... are like the "angels".

I think that they decided use the succesful concept of evangelion.
...
In conclusion good anime.
Thanks

i enjoyed watching these first four episodes, they have been great and very fast pace

Story- it is ranked at a good 8 that seems correct because so far all i have seen is the story begin to build up. In each episode it seems something new is revealed in this story that makes it all the more exciting such as the powers each character has.

Art- The art is very good it seems like they put a lot of effort in for the art and it seems very well done.

Sound- The music is good each part fits well and the opening and closing theme music is ... good and really gets you going.

Character- The characters each have a background story and each small background story ties into the main character's background story.

Enjoyment- i seem to enjoy this anime and it is well worth the time to watch, butalso be warned that it has blood, gore and violence along with other ecchi elements that makes it a good balance
Overall- it is a great anime and has that "boy with powers saves girl" thing going while it also gives a twist and doesnt not make one lose interest

Okay so this show is pretty bad. It's not the worst anime that I have ever seen but its still pretty lame. On a positive note it has good art and music not to mention there are a lot of fight scenes. On a negative note I'm on episode 9 and I'm not seeing where this anime is going. There are aliens called Nova but none have actually appeared except in flash backs. So far it has just been the "good guys", Pandoras fighting each other every episode. And there is Kazuya who is a puny little boy who is a very powerful limiter who ... is obsessed with a powerful pandora named Bridget "The Untouchable Queen". Bridget goes on a rampage when ever someone touches her and practically kills them. Except for Kazuya for some reason who accidentally "motor-boats" her the first time he meets her in the first episode . Bridget is cold, antisocial, and over all not a pleasant person to be around but Kazuya loves her for no other reason than that she looks like his dead sister from behind? Also the whole motor-boatting incident maybe. Did I mention there are a lot of fight scenes? Well there is about double that number in ecchi scenes. There is a lot of full frontal nudity. Usually showing breasts and nipples. In fact most of the fight scenes are ecchi. It appears all Pandora weapons seem to have the uncanny ability to tear off women's clothes and expose their breasts. Every fight scene in every episode eventually leads to all the pandora battling with bare breasts, almost completely naked. It's like a lame hentai but without sex, genitals, or octopus tentacles. Though I am interested to see when a Nova does finally appear whether or not the Pandora weapons will have much the same effect on them. Nova monster titties. LOL. Another thing I don't like about this anime is every episode Bridget is getting in a fight with another "bad" pandora or three instead of sticking with one antagonist a couple of episodes she is fighting a new "bad" pandora each episode. Anyways. If you like chicks fighting and lots and lots and lots. and LOTS of breasts. This is your anime. Looking forward to reviewing Freezing Vibrations.

Freezing...a manga that brings up being controversy and mostly shaking heads to anime fans as the amount of fanservicei you will find her, is quite frankly ridicoulous , despite it being an actually good story - if you leave all of the fanservice aside.

Hello and Welcome, my name is Ryoki and welcome to my Review of Freezing.

First of all lets talk about the setting and story in general ( may contain spoiler so scroll down if you dont want to read this)
Freezing is set in a post-apocalyptic world where supernatural beings called the ,,Nova'' reign terror in the lands of humanity. Nova are ... somewhat like aliens, this at least is what the anime says. You then immediately see a jump backward so the Pandora can be explained. The Pandora are, you could have guessed, Humanitys answer to the Nova.
Basically by giving them fragments of a nova body, they are able to become a weapon against the nova, like in the good old tale ,, lets beat fire with fire.'' These women are having male companions which they call a Limiter, in which also Nova fragment have been implanted, granting the ability to create a forcefield which immediately immobilises the target - that is what they call ,,Freezing.''.
The story focuses on a certain pair or on as a primary point on Satelizzer ,,the Untouchable queen.'' given the name by the fact that no one on the whole campus dares to fight or touch her. Until then the faithful day when the brother of the last pandora heroine comes to the facility. Aoi Kazuya, which still doesnt know anything what is happening on said schoolground until he comes inbetween a fight in which Satelizzer and a second student clash, he mistakens Satelizer for his sister and then holds her back from fighting , making her loose though by the attack of her enemy. He feels bad afterwards, and wants to apologize to Satelizer, even after being warned by the class president Chiffon. And even when being taken into a fight and then even facing a real third year pandora , he doesnt want to leave her side and then eventually becomes her Limiter.

Satelizer on her own is a bit a damaged character , damaged in the way of that she hides her insecureness. She had a very cruel childhood and had to sustain many things and thus searched the resolve to fight on while trying to never loose a fight.
Kazuya on the other Hand is like the mirror to her , they resemble a very good pair together. Kazuya on his own is a justice-loving character as naturally after his sisters death he wants to make him self useful and join West Genetics.

Art, i dont really know what to say at this point, the animation on itself is not bad but also not fantastic, what im personally disappointed is at the design choices that the makers took , instead of choosing the way that the manga took. A big example of that is the Pandora Mode, in the manga, you have real suits in which they look final fantasy styled and really cool. Like here for Ingrid:(please fill the links into your browser , both are directly the pictures i want to show)

And now her look in the Anime:

Keep in mind, that is my personal opinion - maybe you will like but I personally shake my head at that. You have absolutely cool and sturdy looking suits for each pandora , which is unique and instead what they chose is a simple glowing...
So also the sound isnt really that well done. Themes are supposed to catch your attention and make you pumped up for what is about to come but those from freezing arent really gripping - not for me at least. Neither the opening or ending are really that epic - which should have been necessary for an apocalyptic anime.
Even so , at the end of this review - i'd like to recommend to try this anime at least - at least one episode to see how it goes. I have calculated the overall score depending on my ratings for story, art, sound & and character and naturally also my enjoyment and have given Freezing a solid 6.6 - which would be 7.
I hope this review could help you with your choice if you want or do not want to give this anime a try. Im grateful for you reading all the way through and hope to see you guys in the next review!

Freezing is a cautionary tale of an anime with solid production values and story, which is dragged down by its absolutely excessive fan service and awkward characters.

I'm not going to bother with a full review since I had to drop the show short. I simply cannot bear to watch yet another anime that forces a stupid love triangle into the mix for absolutely no reason. And the fan service was getting obnoxious to boot.

Having recently watched Cross Ange, seeing fan service isn't out of place for me, but the way Freezing does it, is just obnoxious. Literally every other camera angle is a panty shot, ... and every single fight starts off with all girls having their tops slashed off or ripped off, so that their tits go falling out. And every other scene is a girl naked in the shower having some deep philosophical moment with themselves.

It's the absolute worst type of fan service. Even raw hentai makes it more subtle. And it's more than distracting when combat with hefty gore, flying bodyparts and such, gets constantly interrupted by panty shots and tits. It's dumb.

The main characters are also UTTERLY intolerable. The female lead is 50% badass and 50% a 12 year old girl discovering for the first time in her life that boys exist. No, she's not 12, but she acts like it. Which is annoying. The male lead is your average "I know nothing about nothing, except this pretty girl I'm attracted to, so now I'm gonna stake my life on protecting her for no particular reason other than I have literally nothing else in my life and have no other personality to fall back on."

And don't start me on a random addition to the cast, some girl that just shows up halfway through the season only to immediately choose to become a third wheel in the MC's barely blossoming mutual interest. Absolutely disgusting storytelling that is the bane of every other romance these days. Main characters go their entire lives without even meeting anyone they like, but in the scope of a few episodes the story needs them all to develop multiple deeply in love, love interests? Nonsense. Get out of here with that crap.

The story seems interesting and the visuals are enjoyable. But I cannot tolerate another minute of these teenage failures that are supposed to be protagonists, nor those endless panty shots with those double G cup tits flying all over the place non stop.

Also why is so much of the content in every episode about the girls bullying each other non-stop? "Last hope of humankind in fighting off the evil invaders", and the ones in charge of the fighting are just fighting each-other to the point of gladly going for kills. Another show that tries to portray that teenage girls are literal psychopaths who would cut off the heads of their classmates for no reason other than petty jealousy and social hierarchy.

Watch this stuff only if you're a sucker for fan service and forced, awkward teenage romance, because as fun as the combat and story is, that romance and fan service is hard to overlook.
