Sirius (Anime) add (All reviews)
Aug 12, 2018
Preliminary (5/12 eps)
Let me preface this by saying if you liked the films Van Helsing or Interview with A Vampire, this shows premise will entice you. But be warned that there is an element in this show that, at least for me broke my enjoyment to where it became unwatchable.

Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger has a lot of promise, but at least for me it was bogged down by the one aspect of anime that can make or break a show; the romance element.

Character is the lifeblood of a visual medium as we the audience have no other means to immerse ourselves in the world we are presented in than through the characters presented. For the most part, the main cast look promising with every flavor of character type you usually run into in action anime. However, what goodwill I have for the story stops the minute the designated romance character enters stage left. You will know her when you see her, trust me.

From the minute this character shows up and every scene that follows with her she annoys. She feels like less a character and more a device set up solely for the purpose of being with the main character. You just know the story will bend to the will of the writers insistence on her importance and her being with the main character, and that is the saddest part.

Now of course, I could be wrong about all of this. However, from the 5 episodes I watched, it became increasingly more plausible that the story would suffer with her inclusion.

Just a warning to anyone wishing to actually watch an enjoyable anime and not just self insert like this is a visual novel.

Animation: 5/5
