THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS, IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED UP TO THIS POINT, TURN BACK NOW!!!!
Ok, this is only my second ever review on the site and i'm only writing this because this anime just made me that angry, yes, even worse than Meiji Tokyo Renka did!!!!
Ok, let's start this off:
Art: 9/10
Character design is for the most part good, Dazai's eyes might be too big in comparison to how he looks like in the game and Shuusei looks weird to say the least but everyone else is good looking and not far off from their game counterpart.
...
The battles are alright, definitely much better than the embarrassing light show clashes that were in the adaptation of Namu Amida Butsu!: Rendai Utena!
Sound: 7/10
The OP & ED are ok but nothing that amazing, i wish they would have made it like in Touken Ranbu Hanamaru where each episode, the ending song is sung by different character(s) seiyuu, would have been much better and more appreciated by the fans i think, potential wasted here....then again they didn't do this for the adaptation of Namu Amida Butsu!: Rendai Utena! either, which i think is a real shame....
The seiyuu's did a good job vocing the characters, especially Dazai, hilarious as always whatever he's voiced by Mamoru Miyano or Yuuichi Nakamura(here)!
Characters: 9/10
All the writers are great, and of course Odasaku is still the greatest friend anyone could ever hope for, whatever that be in Bungou Stray Dogs, Bungou to Alchemist and i'm sure was in real life as well!
Story: 5/10
I admit, it had potential, the fact that we get to relive the stories writen by the writers by delving inside the books is a great idea, i actually liked that, but.....that's where it stops.
It's pretty poorly executed, you are just thrown inside the episode with absolutely no explanation whatsoever and are expected to just go along with it, even from the very first episode, this can at times be confusing and it won't tell you anything untill near the end of the episode if at all.
One episode took place in the "real" world with some no name characters going about their daily lives and i began to wonder if i accidentally somehow clicked on the wrong anime by that point....this episode felt just like a blatant embarrassing advertizing attempt at making people interested in literature(if they weren't already) a waste of an episode that could have actually been used to move the story further along but nooooo.....
Enjoyment: 2/10
They took huge liberties with this adaptation by making it almost completely different from the original game it originated from, basically pissing on everything that made the game enjoyable, this anime feels as cold and distant as the alchemist in this anime is(player character)
There's no connection of the player character to the writers at all, unlike in Touken Ranbu Hanamaru, here it's like both parties don't give a shit about each other(the writers trying to constantly escape from the library and being unhappy there and the Alchemist not caring for their well being nor happiness at all, even denying them proper food for God's sake!!!!!
That was not the case in the game at all, they had different meals every day(with changes during the summer and winter months) and you could interact with them and give them gifts to raise your relationship with them!!!!! The writers also do NOT think poorly of the player in the game and aren't trying to escape like in the anime!!!!
But this last episode was the last drop that broke the camels back........i never thought that they would actually go there.....but they sure did!!!!!!!
I blame all the people that complained that Katsugeki Touken Ranbu was apparently NOT "dark" enough for them, so DMM games took their "suggestions" more like finger pointing and calling them cowards, weak and whatnot and implemented them into Bungou to Alchemist instead, thinking that this was a "good" idea, fucking no!!!!!! IT WAS NOT!!!!!!!!!
I won't continue watching this and neither any sequels it may have because i absolutely despise the direction this anime is heading and i sure as hell don't want to see THAT again!!!!!
Unless they are making a new Bungou to Alchemist anime handled by a different staff and studio and is more aking to Touken Ranbu Hanamaru, i'm done with the anime!!!!!!!! >:(

Hey, so i just finished watching Servamp and wanted to write a review while it's still fresh in my memory. This is my first review btw, so please bear with me.
Story: The story drags you in from the very first episode, the pacing was perfect, it never felt slow or boring nor rushed like other anime. It has a good plot that it never deviated from and finally culminated into the ending which tied most loose seems together making for a complete and satisfiying ending, with all but a few questions still remaining unclear. Can't wait for it to get a second season! Overall 9/10 Art: The character designs ... |
