**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS***

I used to love one piece. It had the ability to create some very interesting stories, amazing characters and it delivered some of the best super power action ever. The previous movie, strong world is a great example of the above.

This movie on the other had is a sad reminder of what one piece has been reduced to. One pointless and boring arc after the other, introducing character who are never developed enough to be either liked or hated and going on the very same ideas that started with, but after 10years it simply can not shock or cause the same ... emotions anymore. It got old, outdated and donwrigth dissapointing.

The plot is your typical nowdays onepiece. A "stong guy" (my name is Z...) wants to destroy the world. He encounters the strawhats, he beats them. Many boring scenes later the same happens. Boredom after boredom later they meet again, only this time luffy wins. The end.

I mean,at least try to deliver something original. I know that expect Strong world, one piece movies are 'nt that great, but at least they try. Some even have some interesting plot and good ideas, which never happens here. This movie could end at 20 minutes, after all its not like the enemies are that strong anyway.

The strawhats are the strawhats,no surpise there. But the villains....
are simply horrible. A weak as hell sword lady who zoro takes pity on, an annoying plant ninja who is one of the worst characters ever conceived, and then Z. A guy so underdeveloped that has to repeat his name so the viewres do not forget him. We get nothing on his story except he was an admiral( a really weak one compared to the three monsters we know as admirals, i mean the guy uses haki, big deal, even coby uses it nowdays), no idea on why he does what he does. Nothing. The guy was so boring that even his death caused no reaction on my part. I even speeded it up so the movie could end sooner.

So, Z is a horrible movie. But it represents perfectly the onepiece of the 2013. An anime that half the people who watch it simply wish it was like the one piece of old,and the other half feel like they have to, as a sad obligation.
Really, shame on us who endulge movies like this

What a bunch of @@@@. Maken-ki is one of the worst anime out there. It has absolutely no plot,simply a guy who flirts with several girls. The heroes have no personality,the only way you can tell them apart is by how mucch they want the main character, who by the way is a retard who does nothing but flirting and getting beaten.

The art resembles hentai and i guess this is the real reason why they created it (for those who want to watch soft hentai disguised as a martial arts-ecchi anime). Even the "figth scenes" expose as much flesh as possible.Seriously,this anime is ... one step away from tentacle...

So,no

I first saw Mushibugyou as a manga, and since i love martial arts shonen mangas, i gave it shot. I dropped it after a few chapters because the main idea was just too boring. When i saw it became an anime i decided to try it again, because i thougth the animation could draw out whatever potential it had. Yet again i was wrong.

The show is basicaly all the shonen cliches brougth together. The main character who wants to protect his friends, the strong guy with the dark past,the big brest stupid girl whose only role is to get in danger so the cast can ... save her. Seen it before and it's simply not worth it.

The story is unexisted. An organisation who figths off giant insects.It could not get any duller than this.I know, it is hard to imagine and write an original idea, but please mangaka, if you do not have anyhing interesting, don't bother to write about the first thing that popped in your head, it is like an insult to the manga/anime community.Again, the cliches is here, the dark organisation who figths the good one, the lame backround for the characters, the bonding between them and etc

The most annoying thing are the characters. They have no personality, no originality and no interest. After 5 chapters of the manga and 8 episodes, i barely remember one, Jimbey, and that is only because that is a name we know and love FROM ONE PIECE.

The only decent thing about it is the animation,but that is impossibe for me to enjoy because everything else simply annoy me too much. Nice lines(way better than in manga)and generaly a good work, that is wasted on this "plot" and "characters"

Seriously, i could watch only the first 2 minutes of every episode and i would stil be able to predict accurately everything.Long story short,why bother with this anime?I do not know,way too much free time?But then again, you could watch shingeki no kyojin on rerun.

CRS is a bit strange. It starts as post-apocalyptic military anime,then it becomes a high school one,then a harem,then again military.Throw in some romance,battles,plotholes that remeble ligth devouring singularities and you have an idea of how things work.

The story really is all over the place. It is filled with various sub plots that never come to a conclusion and many,many attempts to explain how things work in its universe that never come to fruition. Seiriously, whats the deal with moving cities?How everything became what like that?Why there is a mini-anime within the anime?I guess we'll never know.

The characters are lost in the plot desert.The only ... intersting one is Layfon,the main character who presents a development and the most interesting scenes in the anime(the figthing scenes).The others are from mediocre to annoying,especially the fiiler characters,whose only job is to adore Layfon.

The animation is truly confusing.The battle scenes are very well made,while the majority of other are dull and poor.The scenery though is quite beautiful,which shows that the studio could draw,but it was too bored to do so.The best part is the mini-anime,which shows the story of an Alucard-look alike and Shaya,the ainigmatic girl with the best weapon in town.The animation is exceptional and i would rather watch this than CRS.

Overall,CRS shows potentails that never meet,is poorly made,with unclear story that you are not sure where it si going(if going at all).Try it only if you are wiiling to do some digging to find out more,or simply you want a super power shonen if you have everything else.

Well,this anime has it all. Lame story(basically nonexistent, its just one boss figth after another),boring characters, with no motivation, no interest and no development and mediocre music thah really wears off after one time. Even the animation, its strongest aspect, its nothing special and you can not even enjoy it because is lost from all the stupidity of the above.

However, that its not this anime's biggest problem.The thing that really bugged me it is the fact the show never escapes from its gaming origin. It keeps remind you that its a game: the hero receives quests from the director, performs them and then returns for ... more. The graphics, the pauses(which by the way are just plain stupid), even the opening, they all feel like i am playing a computer game. Even the title for god's shake!I do not have a problem with animes that come from games, i even love some of them, but it becomes a problem when the staff just want to animate a game and simply do not care about anything else. The Devil Survivor 2 The animation is an anime for those that wanted to see the game animated and NOONE ELSE.Maybe not even them.

overall i give it a 3,a poor choice to watch.
