07 Ghost

Post by The French Biscuit »

So, I've been watching this anime for a while as a supplement to my continued dosages of Bleach and so far it's alright.

Image

Plot summary: Teito Klein (lead character and little brunette in the above picture) is a former sklave (slave) and currently training for the military. He had forgotten everything about his past, but when Ayanami (blue haired guy in above picture) starts waving around the necklace that held the eye of Mikhail (a super-weapon type artifact that the military is looking for), Teito goes balistic and attacks him. Can't say why cause that would be a spoiler. :D

Anyway, this is not good for Teito. He's emprisonned and suspected of being linked with the defeated Ragg's Kingdom (which is where the Eye of Mikail comes from). He escapes and ends up in the hands of the Seven Ghosts Church, who have been protecting him ever since.

Specifically, his guardians are threee bishops; Castor, Labrador (I'm not kidding, that's his name) and Frau. Castor makes puppets, Labrador is kinda psychic and Frau is the badass.

Pro's: Animation is quite well done, with a bit of computer generated effects mixed in with the traditional animation.

Good fight scenes.

The main villain is pretty good, very dark and crafty.

Con's: Story is interesting enough, though I'm getting a little tired of the whole Teito's a sad, tragic figure thing. I get already geez, pick a new emotion.

There are little annoying things that pop up occasionally. For example, Teito arrives at the Church in chains, and no one cuts him out of them! I would think that would be step one. He stays chained up for something like four episodes. Poor guy.

Maybe's: This has yaoi written all over it, but it hasn't gotten there yet. My yaoi sense is never wrong.

Is it a hidden rule that anyone named "Ayanami" must have blue hair?

I checked the 100 Rules of Anime and couldn't find a "All characters named Ayanami must have blue hair" rule. But maybe we should make one. :D
