Venus Versus Virus
Not going to write a long one here as it's quite late over here.
Anyway i sat down to this Anime after thinking it looked quite interesting and made my way thru the entirety of it and i have to say it was quite a disappointment. It's not bad but it's dead in the middle average and i always feel that's something worse than being terrible (at the very least making a bad anime can be seen as something of an accomplishment but being average is nothing worth noting).
The story has a lot of potential in it but unfortunately the writing is just not up to snuff. It get's bogged down with a lot of clichés and you can see the main plot twists coming from, pretty much, the very beginning. While the main cast is likeable there's nothing terribly impressive about them and they could easily disappear into the background if transplanted into a better Anime. There's also the main character's development which doesn't really go anywhere. She's set up to have this major power which she can't control and hasn't fully awakened and she doesn't develop any control and when it does fully awaken nothings done with it.
The worst by far however is the ending, which is just... well there isn't really much of an ending. The big bad is defeated so easily it's just like he's thrown away, which is ridiculous after how much build up he got. Also the epic battle that is foreshadowed from the very first seen of the very first episode is no battle what-so-ever really.
All in all it is, as i said, nothing but a square in the middle average Anime and if you've got nothing better to watch then give it a go, you won't lose your time, but ONLY if you've got nothing better to watch!
