The whole entire premise that would make it interesting is almost instantly dropped. It becomes a simple "confused feelings" anime and this main character manages to literally ruin several lives in the process. I have never EVER seen a main character who I hated more due to his thoughtless and selfish nature that they wanted to come across as innocent. It was hard to stomach. I wont say who he ends up with but needless to say that the whole "Becoming king of the gods or king of the demons" is almost never mentioned again and the kings are rarely seen past the opening episodes. What a damn waste.
If this anime wanted to be what it ended up being, then fine... but why introduce the element king of the god or demon world at all? I have no problem with the main character ending up with whoever but it could have been done much better.
This anime tries very hard to be as ridiculous as possible with the character personalities. You have characters who start to go insane, literally, out of the blue... and degenerate into a completely different character, doing things uncharacteristic of their pre-established personalities and then by the end going back as if nothing had happened.
There is also a lot of pointless drama. I don't mind drama, hell I like it if its done right... but here it is not... at least not towards the second half. I guess that is what it comes down to thought. The series gets progressively worse, to the point where it seems like one director was fired halfway though and another took their place and wanted to re-write the entire story.
You can find better.
And if you liked Shuffle! fantastic. I didn't. My review is based on that basis.
STORY: Great concept. Unforgivable execution.
ART: The animation was pretty good. Nothing to write home about but overall it was fluid and nice. I don't have any complaints but it didn't blow me away or anything. The thing that stood out were the eyes... in a good way.
SOUND::The opening theme is awesome. I liked it a lot. The rest though isnt memorable. you will forget it in T-minus 30 seconds.
CHARACTER: Uhgg... no. Just no. I have never seen characters that are more all over the place in terms of personality.
ENJOYMENT: Very little but what little I did enjoy, I enjoyed quite a bit.
OVERALL: I personally found little enjoyment out of this title, but the stuff I did enjoy was pretty good. I couldnt get passed the fact that they managed to be so all over the place with the story. Virtus Signum gives this a 4/10. Below Average.
