I decided to venture into an anime that’s been popping up on my watchlist for a while, hoping to find an underrated gem… which is not quite what I got.
Plot: The first few episodes actually pulled me into the story and I quite enjoyed the world setting that was being laid out, however while I hoped this would lead to further world development, a deeper understanding of the the characters’ abilities and their reason for being, we ended up getting none of that. What we did get is a “lets leave it up to the viewer’s imagination” ending that made me scratch my head and a number of lack luster episodes during the middle that could have been used for much needed world building and character development.
Characters: While the story centres around Sumire and Lucia, we never see real development…

You know those videos with the title ''wait for it.'' Where there is a funny, unexpected surprise waiting for you at the end of the video. Well think of this anime as one of those videos. Totally unexpected, the only difference was that it wasn't funny it was disappointing. I was left thinking is this really the last episode, there just has to be more to it than just this cliffhanger but when I say those final credits roll I couldn't help but fell robbed of my precious time and energy I put in to finish this twelve episode show. Other than that it was a pretty good show.

Story: 3/10
Art: 5/10
Sound: 5/10
Character: 3/10
Enjoyment: 2/10
Overall: 3/10
The art was all right especially the sound. I don't mind cute voices however, the fact is I find that the cast is entirely forgettable. Nothing worth mentioning here. It is all about the ghosts who are viruses attacking the world and it is up to Lucia and Sumire to destroy them. But Sumire ends up being the damsel in distress just like Rin from Chaos Head.
The editing of the episode were very messed up with no fluidity between the transitions of the episodes. The ending was a bit too rushed when they cut off the scene of Lucia turning Sumire into normal human being and the final boss defeated. We actually dunno what is happening after that.

Venus Versus Virus was written by Suzumi Atsushi from 2005-2008. In 2007 it got an anime adaptation from Studio Hibari. You may know them from their work on... Kashimashi. What do you want from me, they haven't done a lot of well known stuff, at least not solo. They've co-produced some better known anime like A Little Snow Fairy Sugar and Street Fighter II: V though. In any case, this anime has been on my "plan to watch" list for quite a while and, as my only current request I can find is Monster and I'll never finish it in time for this week's review, I might as well take a look.
This is a series with a lot of potential right from the start. The story opens with a scene of our main protagonists about to face off against each other and then it moves into the past. To the anime's credit, t…

I have noticed that many of the VVV reviews have been largely negative but I feel that this show deserve more credit.
The story is possibly the weakest point of the whole show-not to say that its bad. As a 12 episode show the writer don't have long to introduce the characters and the plot. There are two or three episodes which don't tie directly into the main plot and though the episodes are good, the episodes would have likely been better used in addressing the main story which feels like it needs one or two more episodes to finish properly.
The character backgrounds are interesting but are not fully explored which is disappointing as it could have helped a lot with understanding the main plot. The show's ending left a lot to be desired for. It feels as if it is only part one of a series…

The anime had two major issues. One, it was overdramatic. Towards the beginning and end in particular there were a lot of cheesy and overdone scenes. While I felt the middle was at least decent, I can't deny some pretty big trouble with the way it started and ended.
More than that, though, was the simple fact that it started in the middle. If we had started this anime by following the girl into the world of monsters, and learning about it as she did, it might have proved a rather enjoyable tail. Instead, we are shown a scene from the ENDING, and then thrust into a world where the girl already knows half the things she needs too. Forced to learn on the run, with no real understanding of the girls confusion or other feelings, we don't even get a flashback until a fourth of the way in.
Desp…

Personally, I think it is actually quite good. Though the ending isn't as good as it could have been. I don't have much of an issue with the ending because it's point was to leave it open to the viewer. It is much like the big mystery at the end of Code Geass. For those of you who have seen that, you will know what I am talking about. All 'round, it was a good series and it may have the tag Yuri, but there is absolutely no Yuri in there, like at all, so sorry to disappoint all those Yuri fans

Venus Versus Virus is sadly a failed creation. It's quite interesting and has a lot of potential in being a good action-fantasy anime, but it just wasn't made well. It's like a potentially great cake that was burnt in the oven. Pick this up only if you have an intention of remaking it. This is definitely a NOT WATCH for normal viewers. Everyone will just be completely disappointed in the end.
The story is pretty good. It's just not presented well in this show. It's about two girls, Lucia and Sumire, who work in a group called Venus Vanguard that exterminates evil spirits called "viruses". Viruses were originally humans, whose souls were snatched away and then became monsters that devour other humans' souls. Viruses only attack humans who can see them. Humans who see them have souls called…

Important Notice: For all of you yuri fans that picked this up because it had the tag YURI on it might as well drop it because there is basically no yuri.
Story: The story starts with a scene of both girls fighting, then it goes backwards. VVV is basically about two friends that ended up in a wrong way... simply put. The series consists of several flashbacks, then the last episode picks up from the first scene in ep 1.
To tell you the truth, I expected a lot more from the ending.. the ending was quite disappointing. The story builds up to the final scene, and then... end. Nothing. It was that sudden that i thought there was a next episode to it, and there probably would be another season, but that was one terrible way of ending things. Thus i have to give it a 6.
Art: I guess the art i…
