Anime Review: The Big O

I know some might disagree with me, but honestly I felt the first season was a 10/10.

I still recommend the first season to anybody who will listen. I was mesmerized by the dark mystery that was Big O, and when I heard Cartoon Network was going to fund a second season I was ecstatic.

Unfortunately, I hated the second season. I felt like everything changed, aside from the characters. It had a different feel, and I felt like it had a completely different story line than the first season. The ending seemed as if it were a cop-out ending as well. I failed to anticipate or appreciate its direction.

I left Big O irritatingly confused. Perhaps I'll re-watch it with some friends and we'll pick it apart. Until then, 5/5. I would love to see a remake of the series.

Anime Review: Eden of the East

To me, this series felt very slow at times, including the very first episode. If I weren't watching this series with my friends, I would have possibly discontinued watching it.

The story line was very mysterious, and that was the most compelling part of this whole series. Unfortunately, when the truth is finally revealed the answers are very anti-climactic and boring.

This series had a lot going for it, and just dropped the ball. Maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did, but I definitely won't be re-watching this series. I will, however, continue by watching the two movies that follow, and continue my review.

6/10
