Monster Strike is a decent anime series that plays as any adaption of a popular social digital game. The humour was entertaining when it went meta on the first episodes, but it disappeared afterwards. When it the focus was on the humans, only some supporting characters could hold entertainment to some degree. When the focus was on the monster, it was entertaining. The villains are mostly generic as they come. The monster cast is more interesting and they are probably the reason why you come back to this show. Or in other word, a character that is likely to piss off old anime fans. Minami is the equivalent of the 90s kid who kept shooting out catch phrases and pop culture references in any chance she got. The only one that I could think up that does not fit in either side is Minami. Those character that starts interesting lose their touch and those who did not becomes at least entertaining. Maybe it’s because I’m too fond of the original. The cover of Queen’s We Will Rock You is not my favourite. The Ending theme is decent, but it’s every rock ending theme you heard. The voice actors have done a decent job and try to make the character sound less inspired that they already are. The audio department has only two aspects that remotely stands out: The voice actors and ending theme. However, it does not go far than that and the animation only peaks in fights that does not last long. to the design and style, it does render 3D models better than other monster based show with CGI like Berserk. The design and art style is very similar to the game, which can go from decent to great design. Even by ignoring this, the anime does not represent the game well and gives out false impressions of some mechanics. Seeing them play it safe and take the most standard can be rather insulting. This may not be as disappointing if you came to this anime through the original game, which had a very flexible premise that could lead to many different designing principles. The story is not interesting and almost looks like less inspired version of other pocket monsters game anime in that genre. If you're on the hunt for a dorky show that doesn't make any sense at all, then this is the one for you. Had I played the game first, and then watched the anime, I would probably not have anything good to say about this anime (by going off of reviews I saw around the interwebs). I never played the game itself, which can probably account for my enjoyment of the show. I can't remember which one was the coffee shop.) The characters hint at naughtiness, but nothing comes from it. There is some fan service that never really gets put into action. He remembers somethings when he fights (he actually becomes a completely different character) and then immediately forgets them. (This was recommended for me, which is why I say that.) The MC lost all his memories. I'm going to finish the other seasons because I'm a completionist, but I would not recommend this for anyone seeking an OP MC. He is constantly in his head, which is hard to make a great story. The MC is a dork, and then he fluctuates into a "strong man", and back to a dork. The sound is fine, but everything is really dorky. This really got to me.) The only good thing about short episodes is if you are in a time crunch and only have 10 minutes to watch an episode. This anime feels like a mixture between Pokemon, Digimon, and Yugioh, yet the episodes are a 3rd shorter than they should be! (Average is 24 mins long. There is no real story until you hit about episode 12. Due to this, there is little time for character development. And it really doesn't get much better.įirst of all, the episodes are only 8 minutes long (though in all reality the episodes are only 6 minutes long. For the first few episodes, you have absolutely no clue what is going on. 6.This is by far one of the dorkiest shows I have seen. I think yes, but I'm sure I will drop instantly after a few minutes watch, again. And that is all.Ĭan this show bait me to watch the Monster Strike series though? Then some other band tries to recruit her. A talented singer stopped singing because some things happened in the band. I don't see anything related to the game. My following thought was "Hmm, this could be more of a serious work." It has a really safe cover-only its title in a common font on white background. It was meh.īut then this thing came out with Monster Strike 2 in front of its name. I dropped instantly after the fight scene. Episode 1, it's a game adapted kids anime with a lot of 3D modelling. So I've tried to watch Monster Strike 2 because the two girls on the cover look nice.
