La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia Reveiw
La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia for short it’s called Arcana Famiglia.
This anime
started airing on July 2nd 2012. Showcasing twelve episode it falls
under the genre of Romance, Shuojo. It’s rated PG13. Producers J.C staff.
The story takes place on the Island of Regalo.
The Arcana Famiglia, act as the vigilante committee. The Famiglia have psychic
power called secret ritual.
Story 6/10
The
anime has a feel good to it especially for people into the supernatural stuff.
The first few episodes start off as side-stories like cat chasing, babysitting for
crying out loud to the main story the tournament Arcana Duello, between the
psychic users (arcana-users) which totally caught me off guard seeing as it was
allotted a total of 12 episodes. It has it good laughs here and there, but the
fights happen off the stage.it is certain lacking as compared to it game
version.
Art 6/10
The
art blew me away with the first episodes; it was well done not as good as the
game. The art getting worse as the episode progressed, with recycled
backgrounds. That really disappointed me. They would have delivered like they
did in the first episodes.
Sound 8/10
With
the lacking storyline, the voice actors (seiyuus) did well, the same ones from
the game were used .The OP and the ED were a good listen. Wish they could have mixed
them up, but it was okay hence the rating of 8.
Character 5/10
This
is where the fan cries tears of sadness. The problem is Felicita. They tried
making her badass where they failed when her inability to speak was
discovered.it wasn’t such a big problem in the game. Why does she even need a
seiyuu? The side characters are more interesting with their rivalry, especially
the Luca, Pace and Debito. Honestly J.C staff would have done better.
Overall 6/10
I
can’t say that J.C staff did a good job. They have good adaptations but also
have bad ones, and this is one of them; we expected more like what the game
(otoge) has. The anime had its moments. If you haven’t played the game its
about a thousand times better than this so play it.
Sword Art Online Eps 1-10 Review
In the near future, a computer game called Sword Art Online is released where the players control their avatars using headsets called Nerve Gear. Everyone who logs in is unable to log out; the game creator has made it such that the only two ways of leaving the game are by dying or reaching the 100th floor and beating it. Dying in the game means dying for real, and millions of players die within the first few days.
The anime
initially focuses on how different players react to their predicament, through
the eyes of the protagonist Kirito. Some embrace the world and even get
married, while others relentlessly try to beat it to go back to the real world.
Others still turn into psychopathic killers. It’s a little bit like Battle Royale in this case.
The anime’s
themes subtly shift, and by the tenth episode, it turns into a love story. This
shift means that most of the previous episodes were side stories, which might
infuriate some viewers.
The anime’s
art is breathtaking. From spectacular sunsets to dark dungeons, the art and
color are nearly unmatched. Sword Art
Online is one of the most beautiful anime to come out this year.
The first
ten episodes are a mixed bag. They don’t all follow the primary plot, and some
are boring while others are captivating. However, wondering when the players
will beat the game—if ever—is what sucks you in. It’s not the best anime in
recent times, but Sword Art Online is
still worth a watch.
Rating 7/10
