This is a drop of fresh blood in sea of little stale mecha anime genre. Although is lacking in some aspects, it's overall a rather good watch. This review will be with spoilers, and sorry for my not so good English :)
Story-8
The story is not too complicated, yet not too simple, one could say that it's just there to motivate characters to fight each other. Powerful country/aliens invades the weaker nation/race, something used quite a lot in mecha genre, not so much to talk about there, but as a whole it fits very good in the world of Break blade.
Art- 10
Art is amazing,
...
animation is gorgeous, fights are animated very well, I must point out awesome design of mechas (golems ). Not much more to say here :)
Sound-8
The sound ( especially OST ) was done better in movie adaptation of Break blade, on the other hand seiyuu had done great job again here. I must also add that some of the sound effects sounded muted.
Character -9
Biggest problem is that some characters personalization was done better then the other. Girghe, Zess,Borcuse and Sigyn were done quite good, where the others, not so much. I gave 9 cause Girghe had been quite unique char. which I've liked the most :)
Enjoyment -9
As I've said. it's quite good watch. Battles are awesome, story is fine and easy to follow, animation is great, as is the voice acting (I think of original Japanese VO ).
Overall-9
As I usually say, every form of art can pull some strings in someone, and inspire him/her to do something, so I encourage you to watch as much animes as you can, but your impression is only your own, cause the art is in eye of the observer.As of Break Blade, could have been overall 10, if they've done some things better. I gotta say that I personally like Break blade, for it's originality in mecha genre, for the fact that they put pilot's skills above raw power of MCs mecha, for the fact I was in love with Kokia's Fate song from movie adaptation. You should watch it, it's that kind of anime that u can love or hate, it's on you to decide :)
