Reviews

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
ai_no_kareshi The creators of Final Fantasy: Unlimited made only one mistake, in my opinion, and that is not completing the all 52 episodes.I must say that it is laughable that, when people hear "Final Fantasy", they expect to see characters from the games. Every installment of the Final Fantasy game series has its own unique plot and characters, and so does the anime series. FF:U does feature all the usuals – including chocobos, moogles and summon creatures – although it doesn't need these elements to make it a great series.Although the series starts slowly and falls into something of a monster-of-the-day pattern early on, its every character is given special attention and will never cease to entertain you (especially Ai). Every episode packs its fair share of drama, comedy and action. As another reviewer has commented before me, it is when you get to the later episodes that you realize how great FF:U actually was. The plot is imaginative and detailed, and the further you advance into the story, the more exciting it becomes.It is a shame that FF:U was cut down to 25 episodes, as this stands even more true for the rest of the story that was never told. I speak as one who has read the Japanese books in which the untold parts of the story have been published when I say that the best was yet to come. I think no one has the right to bash Final Fantasy: Unlimited until they know the whole story. Unfortunately, it does not seem as if an English adaption of the After series will ever be made.Still, though FF:U might not be for everyone, anyone who is willing to watch this series with an open mind is likely to find himself pleasantly surprised.
dinobrya I saw the previous review and found it laughable. Okay... so it does not have DBZ or Samurai X fighting sequences. That does not make it deplorable as that fellow suggests. I find it to be an interesting cross between Batman the AnimatedSeries, Trigun, He Man, Pokemon, and Alice in Wonderland. I will have to admit it seems to be geared for children 7-12 than for teens. It almost has the quality of bed time story. Even at 29, though, I still found enjoyable. I would say that is somewhere between 4 to 5 out of 5 stars. I love how the writers blend the struggles of the lost children and Lisa with that of the Black Wind.
OUKnight99 *I'll try and keep the spoilers to a minimum* Being a huge fan of the Final Fantasy Series and Anime, when I found out a Final Fantasy Anime was coming out, there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to watch it. Needless to say I was disapointed. Those of you who are looking for the deep moving stories usually found in Final Fantasy games, or the intense well animated battles usually found in other animes like Rurouni Kenshin, then don't look here.What we have here is a promising start, a few interesting Ideas (well one actually, and his name is Kaze, and even he gets old) and a bunch of boring villains, and then about twenty six episodes of sheer boredom. The animation is similar in quality to that of Pokemon, or Digimon (etc.) , and probably aimed at a similar audience. Every once in a while, usually when one of the bad guys shows up, a computer graphic type animation will occur, but instead of looking stylish, it just looks stupid.The story is, as I already said, very shallow and you really don't care about what's going on. It's not quite as bad as the last Final Fantasy Anime...but it's close.There is one cool thing about this show though, whenever Kaze, the black robed gunman "summons," I could feel the hair on my arms rise. Of course that's only three seconds out of a twenty minute episode, so it hardly makes the series worth watching.I watched it because I love final fantasy...but I can't recomend it to others.I'd give it * out of 5 (and it gets the star because it's final fantasy)
melzas_ The story about Lisa, Ai and Yu who are searching for Ai and Yu´s parents in the inner world. In the inner world they meet Kaze who is equipped with a demon gun which summons creatures. In the inner world they also meet up with Chobi who is of course a chocobo. Omega is taking over the inner world and someone has to stop him...
