Neo Angelique Abyss

I watched this series and during the entire thing, I could predict each and every single one of the events that occurred. The ending was something that's quite shocking (but not completely, since it's relatively predictable) and disappointing. It's something that makes you say, "What. On. Earth. Just. Happened." Hmm... Overall, it was quite a trivial anime; Good for passing time, but not much more than that. Reverse harem is one of my favorite genres (e.g. Ouran HSHC, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge) and I started the series because of that. However, the romance in this was quite shallow. The entire anime was much too sugary.If you are looking for anime with a good plot and romance, I do NOT recommend this. If you are looking for an overly-cute anime with many yummy bishies or to pass time, you might want to give this a try. Personally, I wasn't pleased with the anime.

I watched this anime only because it is one of my favorite types of anime....reverse harem or shoujo. It also said it had action and romance. Too bad the romance, and action failed big time. The only signs of romance is when the girl blushes when talking to one of the hot guys. I have to say the story and enjoyment was worse than anything. The only reason I watched it until the end was to see if the main female protaganist was going to actually find love between one of her companions and that also let me down. The action wasn't all that great either.The fights was a little boring. The enemies all looked like jelly monsters and the powers the main characters had were too lame. To sum the story up, it was a let down. Art and sound was OK. As far as characters, I wanted to say I had at least one favorite but the only one I could think of was the cat. The characters really didn't develop enough for me to get to like them. Overall this series gets a 5/10 because it is one of my favorite genres but too bad it didn't meet my expectations.

I had high hopes for this series. Right away I thought the plot was amazing and i was very excited because i haven't watched any similiar ones. I believe it had great storys and amzing characters. My only problem with the anime was that it could have had a lot more action. Having such a great plot is hard to maintain and it would have been so much better if they had alot more action going on. Even in the last 3 episodes the action was lacking The last 10 minutes of the final episode was probably my favorite. I can't wait to start nextseason which I am about to do. Hopefully they have more action. I also felt that it had good characters and that the ones that needed to grow did. Rayne started out distant but soon become a close friend to Angie. It could be more specific with the romantic parts aswell. I have higher hopes for season two! =]

This is my first review, so bear with me! :) Here we go... Story (8) Personally, I'm a big fantasy fan, so I was really excited to try Neo Angelique Abyss, and I don't feel let down at all. Of course, the whole "demonic monsters" thing isn't new, but I found their approach to it rather unique, because of the multiple new aspects that I noticed while watching. The character development in the show (as far as background story goes) is very good. All of the main characters get some sort of look back into their past, and some of them get a detailed explanation. The progression ofthe story is something I find intersting because it sometimes doesn't seem to be moving, but in the end you realize that it's all connected, so that seems like a success to me. Many people find the story predictable, and I have to agree. Neo Angelique is indeed predictable, but not the whole time. There are, as in most shows, moments where you go "Duh! I saw that coming!" but also times when you can't help but be surprised. All in all, I liked the story of NAA. Art (8) Ok, so I'm definitely no expert when it comes to this area, but I liked the art. It's not really a unique art style if you ask me, but there are many things that I think are quite unique to this show, like the Thanatos and the detailed scenery. Like I said, I'm certainly not an expert, but I think the art in NAA deserves the score I gave. Sound (7) Again, no expert, but I gave this score because I find any of the sound aspects unique at all. Nothing was really undesirable or anything, but I just didn't think there was really anything special about it. Character(10) I love the character aspects of NAA! I love all the characters themselves (not just for the bishounen aspect, mind you...), and I love some of the unique stories that come with them. As I said before, the character development for some of the characters is just great, and all of the characters have something that makes them different from all the rest, be it backstories, style, or just flat-out personality. Not to mention, the way all the characters interact with one another truly shows their differences as well as similarites. Honestly, I really did love the characters and like aspects of this show. Enjoyment(10) I really loved watching this anime! It was fun, light-hearted, and at the same time, rather deep and emotional. No, the romantic side didn't progress as much as the fangirl side of me wanted it to, but that honestly didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. I, of course, have my own specific tastes that differ from many, but NAA fit my tastes better than I actually thought it would. So, I'll say it again, I loved this anime! Overall(8) I think NAA deserves this score because, despite some of the things that I saw as flaws, I still couldn't stop watching. I may see it differently from someone else, but I think that this is a good show. No, probably not one of the ones to go down in history as a top anime or anything, but still, it's a good watch that I would recommend to anyone. :) Thank you for reading (AKA suffering through...) my first (rather long...) review! I hope it helps point you to a really great show! :)
