C³ (CubexCursedxCurious) has a lot of potential despite being an ecchi. The anime as a whole definitely could have been much better if it wasn't limited to being only 12 episodes.
STORY: 6.5/10
The story is based around the main male protagonist, Yachi Haruaki. He lives alone and away from his father who goes around the world searching for cursed weapons that have been used to kill. His father sends these cursed weapons back home to where Haruaki lives in which his role is to remove that curse and lead those cursed weapons who takes the form of a human onto a different path. He does this
...
by being optimistic, positive, and supportive of these characters in how they want to change who they previously were while putting his life on the line.
Fear Kubrick is main female protagonist that is first introduced as a cursed weapon. She has two personalities; one being her past killer self and the other being her regretful, self-conscious self. She is timid, but also aggressive most of the time. While she may not show it, she is really concerned about her friends especially Haruaki.
As the story progresses, more characters are introduced, and relationships develop between them and Haruaki.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ story/plot viewpoint ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I may have not seen the all the episodes of C³ so my opinion might change, but I do know where the anime is heading. The exposition of the story started off really well in the first episode, but then it completely changed its course in the second episode. The change was so drastic that I felt it was really difficult to actually grasp the idea and concept of the storyline. The setting and characters were barely introduced and yet we have already arrived into the rising action of the plot in the second episode. The problem could have been easily remedied if the producers had extended the amount of episodes for better development to the plot.
ART: 10/10
The art is stunningly beautiful. My jaw dropped as I was watching the first episode; the ocean currents sparkled and the sky glimmered. The graphics in all the scenery, battles, opening and ending (EVERYTHING) are of the highest quality. Although I am not a fan of ecchi, the art makes it acceptable and respectable.
SOUND: 9/10
The voices of the voice actors fit the characters really well. The opening and ending songs are accompanied by the dazzling art. BGM and sound effects were all used effectively and at the right time.
CHARACTER: 7.5/10
The main potential of C³ lied behind the characters, but with the short amount of episodes, we were limited in character development. Most of the main characters' background that was portrayed in the anime were shown in one episode or less. The changes that they all undergo happens far too quick in which it leaves the viewer filled with unanswered questions. This contributes to a lack of a good plot which narrows down to poor overall development between the story and characters.
ENJOYMENT: 7/10
I didn't quite enjoy the plot, but most of the other aspects of this anime were satisfying. I would recommend it to a friend who has time to run through an ecchi anime that has a few holes in its plot and semi-poor development.
