Tales of, a series that keep us entertained since a very long time until now. This time, the second season of the Zesteria story live to the honor. As the 1st season made clear, you don't need have experienced the game to apreciate this story potential and if you played the game, well, you gonna still seeing a beautiful complement to the story that you know already.

The art is beautiful, Ufotable work with the anime scenes in the game, too, so they know how to paint the Zesteria World. With absolute fidelity to the game, the 3D world comes to the 2D with super powers ... and pretty details in every corner, even the ugly ones.

The OST with the addition of the singles of the anime are very delightful, necessary and well blended in all scenes, so the story can walk with the right tones and the battles can be effectuated with emotion and passion.

If you are at this point you know the characters already, all a team of diversity, all a team of great ones, all together to put the pieces of enjoyment at the right times, anytime.

My last point that made me more convinced to keep the anime at my monitor every week of the season was the point that I already said, this story tells you the Zesteria story with little differences and flows, but what differ in the story, the game can't give it to you and vice-versa.
So, if you haven't played the game already, buy it(at this time it's cheap :D), and experience how the first revision of the story was, and together, how the anime and game endings can give you the monumental finale that your heart hungry of Tales of, need and gonna enjoy.

If you reached this point, thanks for beared my review, and if you was happy of read it, a gigantic thanks, I hope this can motivate you to embrace this story and well, I wish you happy anime and maybe, happy gaming!!

Gundam is a name with history inside in every single letter. This second season was no only a great surprise but the honor this story needs for a finale.

For starters, of course, we came from the 1st season, with our blood boiling in action and mecha's sounds everywhere, so is natural to hope the same in the 2nd, to wish for action, and well, they don't gonna let you down.

The story -- It continues at the point they paused in the 1st season, as I said, the action still present, Tekkadan lives with it, but the quantity of it get in a stalemate in ... some occasions little by little because the hourglass has less and less sand to drop. You gonna see drama, you gonna see problematic situations that maybe in times will be tedious, but if you can hear and see with the right eyes and ears on each chapter, believe me, you will be always saying: "Whoa, 20 minutes already?!".

The characters -- The development they get here is very good, the losses and the gains put all the members of Tekkadan and Gjallarhorn into their proper ways, their own actions and campaigns guide them into a single bridge when we will wish to see the red light that this story shout and whisper to you in each step, thanks to every worthy character.

The Art and sound -- Well, you know Gundam already, even being an old or a recent fan, you know that why artists are needed to tell stories like this one. To stimulate and get out forcefully from you the right emotions, at the right time, without hesitation.

For me, these are the 3 pillars to describe (In a little and inspirational text) what I saw in the 2 seasons this part last. It worth it, it's Gundam, and if you liked the 1st season, then, honor it seeing the 2nd, and remember that the story has a balance, that even in the rightful time looks like it doesn't exist, it is there, and going with all the efforts to the finale with mecha head high and unwavering.

Thanks for reach this point, I hope this review can be of use for you, and even if it not, well, thanks for bear my words, and happy Gundaming!!

From the writer of Steins;Gate, this story is an orphan child of the Science Adventures Series, getting the Occult as its main dish.

This story is for the ones that maybe saw stories like Monogatari series and know how to deal with fast dialogues and animations, and want to test themselves against this challenge or/and of course fans of the Science Adventures Series and Sci-Fi.

Let's start with the problems of the anime, so if this discourage you, well, maybe only the novel it's for you:

1.-Super fast-forward, in terms of dialogue and animation, because of this, the timeline for explanations and plot-flags could be for you a ... harsh time to catch and digest (more than it is alone).
2.-Beacuse the anime is only 12 episodes, it has problems like Chäos;HEAd, and that is holes in the story, holes that would (must) send you right into the novel, or only say at the end: "Ok?".

If you are ready even with that, well, let's get done with a brief view of this story.

This story centers its power in different people and points of view, and connecting them to put the story on march. Using the occult as its core, the characters would be all influenced or connected to different situations, "powers/abilities" and a super case that as we know in the Science Adventures Series, we need the spice of some mega-control corporation behind the case.

Each character have his/her own past, with great memories and influences, some of them, or maybe, most of them, get forgotten at certain point as is needed or not, and only use character alone, but the reason is simple, to forge a story that can finish the more complete as possible.

The BGMs, sounds, and voices are very delightful, you won't get boring, or at least your ears. And with the art, well, part old school, other not too much, but is OK, good, maybe not super cool, but good.

I think with this you can get an idea of what this story is. It's a good one, of course, with its details, but well, nothing is perfect, this is a goooood example, and if you see it, well you don't gonna understand only: "Quality over quantity" but "Quality over timeline".

Thanks for read until this line, if this has been of use for you, I'm happy with it, if not, well, I'm still grateful for bear with my ideas!

I need to play the games to watch this anime? Well, you can go forward from the first Danganronpa anime, that's ok, but if you wanna enjoy the 2 arcs of this last story it's recommended at least, Super Danganronpa 2 to be played.

Another recommendation if you gonna start the anime, it's see a chapter of this arc and 1 of the despair one, and repeat the process for better understanding.

Let's start, we got to the point to at last see a end of the situations involving hope and despair with its roots at Kibougamine Gakuen painting an end... This anime gonna start at the ... end of Super Danganronpa 2 (They gonna fill you up in some details needed in this story, if you don't play the game) with our very proud and powerful lucky student, Naegi Makoto being putting in scene in a new mutual killing game with less time and more ferocious Ultimate Students, former ones, the Future Foundation itself, and the usual, but maybe less powerful Monokuma.

First, the characters, as always, very rare talents attached to very rare people again, they are cool in a sense, but well, they gonna end dead at the very end, but belive me, they all are ultimates, so they are special, you don't gonna be bored with their actions.

Second, the story, this maybe could get very tedious, because, after hear hope, hope, hope, hope, in a game, and an anime before, you think it's enough, but this is the end, so, bear it again, please... the flow, it's more like a premises of the future with the need of a connection of the past to still keep forward (Zetsubou-hen), even so, the flow of the characters, the situations, the revelations that get connections at this very point to get an end, that is the real flavor of this story, its very meaning, a very cool one, because the new mystery of the killings it's easy but you are here for answers, of course.

And third, the music and CG, have very much connection with the first story, so you gonna still hear the usual BGMs and sounds, with the Psycho Pop style of Danganronpa with more elegance and technology, well, Psycho-Technology, rare, but that make it great.

At the end you need this and the despair one, to end this at the Kibou-Hen, so it's a good anime, a good story, necessary to fill us up with its answers altogether with the other arc, maybe we expect something different, but when you reach the end of each arc, you see the meaning and good synergy of this last track of the path.

If you reach this part of the review, feeling this useful or maybe nothing at all... anyway, thank you so much for your time, and happy anime, may the hope protect you from the despair, pupupupu.

I need to play the game to see the anime? Absolutely, NO! Even if you played, they did the anime so marvelous that players and non-players get a new experience without drop of the plot! Even you gonna have a demo in anime of the next game!

Let's start talking about the story, this is a Tales of story, a story with certain characteristics of RPGs based in a world of magic, swords and warriors, if you are familiar with the games or the animations, you will be like in home, as I said, the anime has another path to follow taking the important parts with ... it, but if you played the game, at the start gonna be like "That really happens like that?", that is bad?, no, full contrary, the animation tell you the story in a smooth, powerful and brilliant pace, so players and no players gonna be enjoyed every second.

The characters are very particular, every one having a role and different stereotypes that give the spice of the story and its flow, the principal, gonna be our hero, a hero full of justice and good will with his comrades, like the old formula, but well, retro is in fashion!

The CG and scenarios are beautiful, based on the game, they did a good work giving a touch of 2D and 3D in all the areas and buildings, gettings you exactly as how the game is, even with bonuses and Visual Novel talking at the end of every chapter just like the game.

Sound is full taken out of its game, even the opening of the game and the future one, so nostalgia for players and good new repertory for the ear for new fans,with heroic and good light music and BGM.

A little part of the anime gonna take you to some story in other time in the same lands, this is part of the next game, and a good part to see if you wanna play it, it only make you wishing its release!

I think I should stop here, really it's a good story so try it out, these guys, if you know them, you know how they put a game/VN in anime with honors and chariots.

If you reach this point of the review and find it useful or maybe nothing at all, anyway thank you so much for take your time reading. I wish you a happy anime and may the malevolence don't obscure your way!

Have a great story and long stories like Key usually get them done, are priceless to see in animation, this one, even with its own factors, it's one of them...

The characters are the basis in all stories, and in this one the characters have a great color because each one tell its own story and with that, the story change itself to its true colors.

The sound and art are nostalgic to the novel, even the 3D sprites, and the usual BGM, so you gonna have a great environment with the luxury of a visual novel material in animation.

The story, good this animated route, it explain ... characters, environments, plot, etc... but for the popular opinion, this is only at the start, when the real problem enter in the play, the anime take a speed of explanation and change of scenes that can make you say: "What I am seeing?! How? What?", so that was the very weak point with this animation, maybe because the length of the visual novel, this story have so much to say, so transfer this to the animation was unsuccessful at certain grade.

Even that it's a story that can be valuated well if you see it with calm, maybe if you get very confused and intrigued, you can awake the feeling to play the visual novel (like me).

I think this is all, so be patient and play the VN, that a solution, if you reach this point and feel this review useful or only time lost, anyway thanks for read it all, happy anime and happy VNs, remember the other routes will be animated in 2017!!

Of you come because you wanna know what was before Danganronpa 1st story...
If you think that the Despair was great an Danganronpa, well this anime it's like the factorial, Despair gets exponentially augmented by the past...

Before start, I really recommend you play at least Super Danganronpa 2, because this anime, although it was created to explain why Kiboumine Gakuen end like it is in the future, at the same time it could explain all more in detail connecting points that Danganronpa and Super Danganronpa 2 left behind, the most important, the class relations and situations.

First things first, the characters that you will see here principally ... are the protagonist of Super Danganronpa 2, the Psycho Tropical squad at their start, each one resembles of course the students at the first anime, but each one has his own abilities and together have a new path so, you gonna feel a fresh class with the help of some another students and persons of interest that would be necessary for some information in the Mirai-Hen.

The scenarios are truly more of a more polished Kiboumine Gakuen, but all conserve the air of the past stories, in essence, more like the first story.

The sound and BGMs are from the 2nd game in almost all the cases, so if you played the game, you gonna feel a great environment and super nostalgic feel that gonna boost all the story and situations.

Connect and explain, those 2 points maybe are this review conclusion but the anime is the idea that give you since the beginning, so if you follow the steps of see 1 Mirai-hen chapter and 1 Zetsubou-Hen chapter, you gonna be full prepared for Kibou-Hen end and of course to say: "At last, all have sense!".

This is all I think, playing the games is not mandatory but recommended, you can't miss those hours on enjoyment, to enjoy this to the 100%, if you feel this review with hope or maybe despair, anyway thank you to reach this point, and happy anime (and maybe gaming) and may the hope light your way to the Happy End!

It's hard finding stories that know its objective and how manage it, more when the objectives are make laughs and entertain with simple things, because sometimes could en bad. This is not the case, Konobi has a great paint (literally) that would make you enjoy all the 12 chapters.

First, the characters, they are very honest and pure with its nature, adults, the normal students or kids, all have a job and the most of their job is circle their problems and jokes on Usami, each one with his/her own color that paint a great episode without you to put effort in understand and connect.

Second, the ... jokes, some so simple, another very carefully hidden, but all, all, come at the right moment to you to laugh or put a great smile on your face, in different weights, colors and sizes, so you don't gonna get bored or overwhelmed.

Third, the story, it's simple, and your guide always will be Usami and her palace the Bijutsubu (including anther scenarios), so, at least, her interaction with the others gonna be the seal of A and B part of the chapters.

With these three parts are enough, this story knows how to do things without getting lost in the process, so the objective of laughs and jokes will be present in all the anime, in my opinion, a little jewel for past the time with enjoyment.

If you felt useful this review or maybe none at all, anyway, thank you to reach this part and read my review, I wish you a good anime and I hope you can enjoy it!

Hello traveler, if you come for magic, girls, death, death, death and dark sou-Gohooon. Well, this could help you to decide for this anime.

From a novel, this anime comes with an a traditional idea for a world of RPGs, magic, animal-people, knights, spirits, etc. But, the protagonist? Oh well, he's more than the average high school student in the wrong world, appearing randomly.

The story is good, of course because you can't transmit at 100% of accuracy a novel, so maybe if you read it, or gonna do it at the same time of seeing the anime, you gonna get notice about it, but White ... Fox compress you in a way that not only you will get packages of cliffhangers, you gonna get a story well distributed and explained in a certain way.

Art, sound and charas are well developed, specially the sounds, you will memorize certain BGMs or sounds that give the anime its own colors. Art will come so well that it is the perfect partner of the sound and Charas, all have their style and time to appear, so each section of the anime can be full of power, and well, all are super special, so the protagonist can have a good time handling them.

Fan of that certain game that give you a pain in the ass dying but you still like it? I can say this give you an air of that game, in a enjoyable and funny way, with the advantage that the protagonist it's free of souls, hehe.

I think that can be all I can give you to give the anime an opportunity, this story is great, so not giving some cliffhanger in advance it's hard but worth it.

If you feel that this review was useful to you or maybe you don't like it at all, well, for reaching this pint either way, thank you so much and I wish you a good time with the anime!

So here it is, another apocalypse getting out of nowhere and pushing down our race. Kabaneri have people that have experience supporting their work, so even using an idea that have us surrounded nowadays, the enjoyment could be reached thanks to that people.

The art and audio stand out by themselves, the art have its own passion corresponding to the era, and you heard familiar voices and songs authors that have you very connected to the story and its flow. And OP and ED have beautiful and passionate voices that make your starts and ends of chapter more inspirited.

The story even with a idea that had ... a mob use these days, has its own romance, having trains at the principal transport and the cities building thinking in that, so it's something great to the sight.

The charas and their interaction have a multiple facets and situations, so in times you have a great action or joy and others only drama and blah blah blah, but overall I think all are very unique, even with their holes in their roles, together are a great unit for the plot.

The plot have a number of holes, the weak points, you going to notice them because normally are filled with extreme drama or MacGyver solutions, but can be tolerated, we need to be some thoughtful about the idea, because their are telling us a apocalypse story, so, sometimes using the Anime Laws for the plot flow, always is an option.

I think overall it is a enjoyable story, even with it's flaws, it shows a good image and a good effort, so if you are searching something to hunt, this could be a great prey.

If you reach this point of the review, thanks for read it all and I hope you can like this anime as much as I.
