I don't know how there are so many reviews giving this anime a ten it honestly sucks lol. This is like, the Spiderman (the original trilogy) of anime. Let's jump into some pros.
So the story is kind of creative. Obviously the coolest thing about the anime is the merch. Those little balls that open up on cards are super cool and are a blast to play with. This show is very funny in the way that Spiderman is. As in, the cringe, the nonsensical lines and scenes that you get from the characters are so ridiculously cheesy that they're funny. I guess? This anime is still really confusing.
Everything else is really bad. Just watch the OP and you'll understand why the story is so trashy. The animation is awful, the characters don't move naturally, the design is way too loud, and sometimes their faces look like pancakes. I mean I know this is 2007 but COME ON PEOPLE. Cardcaptor Sakura came out 10 years before this and its animation is still better. The sound is bad. The soundtrack is just meh and the opening themes and ending themes are... well... the same. AND THEY'RE BOTH BAD. I don't know about the original audio but the dubbing sucks. No offense to the Canadians but they DO NOT know how to dub anime. I'm not going to dock points for bad dubbing though (if I did that AoT would have like a 4). When it comes to characters the protagonist is annoying. All the characters get on my nerves and their behavior is pretty strange and inconsistent. Also the Preyas evolution scene was weird.
Overall this anime exists? Feel free to not watch it. I only watched it for the nostalgia factor and if you haven't already seen it as a kid you probably won't enjoy it. I'm not really taking this review seriously so it's not as thought-out and refined as some of my other ones. I just wasn't really planning on reviewing this anime lol. But whatever, if you want some better reviews check out my review page. That's all for now, bye guys!
