It should be noted that this is my first review on this site, and I never played any of the Devil Survivor games.
Devil Survivor 2 The Animation: A perfect example of an anime that'll draw you in with a great sounding synopsis and fantastic looking art. But looks can be deceiving, and that's certainly the case with this anime in particular. It's a show that bubbles with potential but only ends up fizzling out in the end.
Story: 5/10
Believe me, the plot of this anime is in no way original or ground breaking. It's pretty predicable if you ask me. But I found that even
...
with it's flaws, it was just good enough to make me want to complete the series. It starts out slow, but eventually begins to pick up about halfway through.
Art: 8/10
The art is probably the strongest aspect of this anime. I thought the art was pleasing to the eye, and the battles against the Septentrions were always very entertaining and looked fantastic.
Sound: 7/10
I really like the music they used for the opening and the ending. The soundtrack for the anime really fit the anime and fit with what was going on.
Characters: 3/10
This is where the anime really crashes and burns. The biggest problem with Devil Survivor is that you feel nothing towards the characters. There's pretty much no character development, no back story. You don't really care what happens to them. If one dies you don't cry or feel much of anything but, "Aw, they died, that's too bad." I feel like this anime could have been a lot better if they had given us some insight into these characters and what they were really like.
Enjoyment: 4/10
This anime had it's enjoyable moments, but for the most part it wasn't anything that I was super excited to watch. I wasn't addicted, I wasn't hooked. Really I just watched it because I had too much time on my hands.
Overall I give this anime a 6. It's characters and story were pretty bland, but it's art and sound saved it from being a complete train wreck. I'd say unless you are completely bored out of your mind or have nothing else better to watch, try to avoid wasting your time on this show.
