Also, one thing I'd like to let you know before you read this review, this will contain NO spoilers, so you can feel free to read this if you want a spoiler-free review.
Another thing, this manga is pretty old, and I don't know if anyone is really interested in this manga anymore, but I was bored and I wanted something to do regarding writing lol. Anyway, enough stalling...
First, let's talk about the story. In my opinion, the story for +Anima was pretty unique and refreshing. I do think it was pretty basic, and perhaps could have been fleshed out a little bit more, however, the almost slice of life feeling the story has about actually makes for a very enjoyable story throughout. So, no matter the adventure (or misadventure), I was always having fun reading this manga.
Second of all is the art, now, I myself am and artist, so stories will amazing artwork will often catch my eye, and I personally love the art style of this series. It just feels nice and the +Animas' animal characteristics really fit and feel like they actually belong on the characters. I also find it comedic that a lot of the boy characters kinda look like girls, however that's pretty common in anime/manga.
Next is the characters and their development. And honestly, I do really like the main cast of characters, they're all unique and different and they all have little quirks about them that make them more enjoyable to read about. However, I do think that a lot of the characters didn't really go through any major development throughout the story, they all kind of stayed the same and their personalities barely matured. However, for some reason I don't think that's really a bad thing in their cases, as they're all enjoyable on their own.
Third of all is the overall enjoyment of the manga. Honestly there were parts where I wasn't having the most fun following Cooro and his group of quirky +Anima friends, but for the most part I had a great time no matter what random sub-plot they got roped into. I personally really enjoyed reading all 10 +Anima manga.
Overall, in my opinion, this was a refreshing, fun, and entertaining story to read, and I think you will enjoy it as well, as long as you consider the pros and cons I listed above. But otherwise, thank you for reading all the way through my first ever anime review, and hopefully enjoy reading +Anima.
