Hey everyone! This is my first review; but don’t let that discourage you, let me tell you a tale of an amazing anime! ( ^ . ^ )/
Story: 9
The story in this was amazing, to quickly sum up in a few lines; it’s about a kid named Sasha Alexander who wields alchemical powers and hunts down other “Qwasers” who also can use this power and choose to for evil purposes; everyone with these powers has a specific element that they can control, in literally every way possible. This isn’t the kind of alchemy from Full Metal Alchemist; this is in so much detail that I was fascinated by how much the writer actually researched, if you’re fed up of boring Chemistry then watch this!
However I would like to note that this anime is in fact an ecchi however has next to no fan service which is a good thing, it contains some nudity but that’s more for plot reasons than actual fan service. For a “Qwaser” to gain energy that they lose from using their abilities, they have to drink the breast milk of a woman, for it contains a magical power referred to as “Soma”, this is for biblical purposes as it is said that breast milk is one form of sustenance that has unparalleled purity as it comes directly from the female body.
Art: 9
The art in this anime is truly great and the characters are drawn very well, the epic feel of the characters wielding these powers does not decrease throughout. Special effects are very well done which goes perfectly with the detail put into the abilities.
Sound: 10
The openings for this anime were awesome, neither of the two did I dislike, I always looked forwards to them at the start of each episode, they both go in well with the theme of the anime. The ending songs were just as great, and to be honest I would easily say that the first ending song would be one of my top 10 endings I’ve seen in an anime. The soundtracks were also very nice, especially so for scenes with action in.
Character: 9
The main character in this is a complete badass, if you’ve seen D Gray Man then you will know he looks exactly like Alan Walker. All of the characters in this are well made, especially so for the antagonists as they all have such diverse personalities and motives. It’s great when you see an anime where the villains don’t have cliché ambitions and personalities.
Enjoyment: 10
I found this anime to be very amusing, what made it so enjoyable was that it was able to switch between making you laugh your ass off and blowing your mind with intricate chemistry and badassery. Despite some of the nudity in this being unnecessary, it did not interfere with the storyline, and in some cases only added to the comedy. One of my favourite things to find in a anime that contains a lot of fighting is where the main character unlocks a new power or uses some skill that make his previous fights look like he wasn’t taking them seriously, this has that effect which made it even more fun to watch.
Overall: 9
To sum it up; if you’re looking for an anime that has comedy, epic fights, awesome powers, and a unique storyline then this is one I would recommend, there’s not a single anime I’ve seen that I can compare this to, as it’s completely different to ones that have similar powers and genres. If you dislike the idea of the anime having nudity then there is an alternate version that doesn’t show any nudity, it being cut out has no effect on the story so you can get near enough the same enjoyment as everyone else.
Hope this was good enough ^ ^
If not then any feedback would be greatly appreciated, cya next time!
