Preliminary (11/13 eps)
I don't think I have ever written a negative review for an anime...ever. But this is one time where I have to speak my mind. Neo Angelique Abyss has got to be the most awful anime I have ever forced myself to watch.

Where do i even begin. Story? Fine. Plain and simple. World of unknown origin is under constant assault by monsters. Only a select handful of people in the wide world can fight these things. Some cookie cutter ditz is sought out by four of the most standard "heroes" I have ever seen to be there healer thing and she turns out to be some queen. All the while, they are trying to stop so association from building some kind of machine that destroys the monsters, but also destroys the cities. The plot had very little twists, and any it did have were 100% predictable. I literally saw everything coming.

Characters. Oh boy. Angelique made me want to throw my fist through a very sturdy brick wall. I don't think they could have put a more average girl as a plot center. She dressed like a Lolita, acted all...whats that word everyone uses? Tsundere? Well she liked to play hard to get, but want EVERY MAN. Rayne. He didn't even play the bad boy role correctly for heaven sake! He was rather generic until he suddenly realized he liked Angelique and then it was all jealousy from there. I don't know what JD is unless he's supposed to be some sort of Vash clone. Thats what he felt like to me anyway. Oh yah, and he's a robot, did I mention that? More personality then the former, but still lacking. Hyuuga was fairly average, but is the only one not trying to get into Angelique's pants, er rather, under her skirt. He is the devoted servant type. Again, typical. Nyx was probably the main with the most character and somewhat of a mystery. Although hes the Rich Heart Throb with the Mysterious Past type, he was the only one I hadn't quite grasped. But all and all, awful.

The art was probably the only redeeming quality in the show. The style was rather average but the coloration and animation were very well done. Its a shame it was wasted on this story.

Overall, I would not AT ALL recommend this anime. EVER.
