I know many people would not consider E's Otherwise as a great anime, yet it kinda got me into the thing and I certainly can recomand it to any beginner. The story ist pretty decend and there are many unexpected things in it. Of course I watched it when I was still pretty young so I can't be objective about it. I really like it, tho.
It ist about a calm boy, discovering his true powers and finding his own identity. Some choices he makes are not very reasenable to the person watching and the powers he and his mates have are pretty much the "average" superhero powers. There is very good changes in charakter, not everything is as it seems.

Yeah. I miss that "before the moe boom anime era" when people cared more about plot and character as much as they cared about art and fanservice.
Whlst E's Otherwise riffs off of the themes presented in X-men, it also follows the theme of "spending your time up in here (in a self-established effort to change your mind)." A theme used in anime like No. 6 and 07-Ghost.
The plot is all over the place; the characters are all over the place. (Not to diss ADV's English voice-acting people, but even their localization sounds like it's all over the place.) But the goals, and who to root for, never stray too far.
I gave it a "9" on my list but I gave it a "7" overall. (I'm also outside of the "gullible crowd;" the under-age-35 people). Oh well.

E's Otherwise is most definitely one of the many thousands of animes that's just out there to be.....out there. I've started calling these types of shows “fast food” animes. Animes churned out by these big production companies out more for capital gain with no regard for product integrity. E's Otherwise is a series that really makes no sense and you'll almost, right from the get-go, need to modify your outlook [....and lower your expectations] on this show or you'll switch it off. If you are going to watch this show, you can't take it too seriously....even when the show itself is asking you to take it seriously, you can't and shouldn't cuz you'd be better off not doing so.

Not a very good anime.
E's Otherwise is a below average anime.
In the near future, following a war, corporations have come into control of the world. Ashurum is one such coorporation, specializing in handling a new class of psychics that have arisen. Feared by the general population, they have a home at Ashurum, where they develop their abilities and work for Ashurum in helping other psychics or dealing with those who've become a threat.
The story revolves around one such psychics named Kai Kudou, who lived in Ashurum all his life with his sister who is sick. He joins AESES, the operation branch of Ashurum in gratitude for helping his sister. In doing so he comes to discover the real world, where humans hate psychics and doesn't understand why members of AESES are so ruthless to people…

E's Otherwise
Kai Kudo is a powerful psychic. People would describe him as an Esper or E, though he doesn't seem to know it. Following his sister Hikaru who is gravely ill to an organization called Ashurum that promises to make her well, Kai is recruited by Eiji into another branch of Ashurum called Aeses where he undergoes exstensive military and psychic training.
A year later, on his second mission out to stop the guerilla army in Gald City from using psychics, Kai and another Aeses student, Shenron Belvedere, fight each other and Kai ends up hurt. He washes up ashore outside Gald City and is rescued by Aska and her brother Yuki.
Once awake, Kai decides to view Ashurum from the outside to see what is really going on.
My Thoughts
E's Otherwise is really good. It follows Kai's life a…
