Introduction
Maintaining a delicate balance of power, the kingdoms of Amoria, Ishilfen, and Vanrodis rule over the continent of Kuna'anh. Even the slightest hint of trouble in one country could spark a continent-wide war. However, their one common fear is the evil dragon Daganzord, whose only meaning of existence is to devour and destroy all life.
Ten years ago, a group of mages worked together in an effort to seal away the malevolent beast. But the ritual—later known as the "Balbagoa Tragedy"—was a failure, and many lost their lives. Though his parents died in this tragedy, Hiiro was saved by the swordsman Giruu. Under the latter's tutelage, Hiiro learned swordsmanship with the sole purpose of seeking revenge. Now a budding master himself, he sets out in search of Daganzord in order to realize his long-awaited vengeance, or to be consumed by the dragon and meet the same fate as his parents.

I have successfully wasted about 5 hours of my life watching this anime, and I strongly recommend others stay away. What could have been a decent short story was unnecessarily stretched into a 13-episode slog that lacks substance.
The Main Character (Hiiro) is, quite frankly, trash. He is consistently frustrating to watch and lacks any meaningful growth. While the show attempts to give him a tragic backstory involving his parents, it is incredibly thin and fails to make the audience care about his journey. The supporting cast feels equally hollow, reacting to situations in ways that feel forced rather than realistic.
The biggest issue is the pacing. The plot is paper-thin and feels like it should have been a 90-minute movie rather than a full season.
If you value your time, skip this one…

Okay, so I literally just finished watching this anime a few minutes ago and I will just say that it is definitely very average. There's nothing really intriguing about it in my opinion. The creators barely even tried to make the storyline deep at all. I know it seems like I'm just bashing it for no reason, and its kind of hard to explain without spoiling the anime itself, but trust me when I say this anime isn't "horrible", but I can't see it being anyone's favorite either. This anime is what you would watch when you're bored out of your mind and have nothing else to watch.
I will say though, it does have potential to be better. If only the story and the character's backgrounds were given a bit more detail... I think the word I'm looking for to describe this anime is either "rushed" or…

Ok so basically this anime is about this person who has lost his parents in a fight with a dragon, so basically they failed to trap the dragon in eternal sleep or whatever so the boy seeks revenge. I don't really like this but at the same time I enjoyed watching it because of characters.
- Story - 3 - Poor -
This was the wurst part of the anime why did they make it like this I do not know. The guy who has been training the main character hasn't achieved anything for 15 years and you know what he thought? He thought to continue trying to get him to train over and over again this made me a little mad because its stupid of how the main character is acting. This story is based on a person who's trying to get revenge and you don't try to change him over to another class like an mage like come…

Lemme tell you a story to put into perspective how trash this anime really is. I watched the entirety of the 2016 anime while they aired and this show stood out as one the worst produced, and close to the top in the shitty stories department, all this considering 2016 had some horrendous anime (endride and clones and also that blood anime about the people surviving in a lab with monsters idk). 0/10 but recommend watching just to laugh at how bad it is, for sure top 5 comedy of all time. The animation is TERRIBLE and i'm p sure I could have made a better story in about 20 mins and that's stretching how much it would take me to be done with it.

To tell you the truth i have no idea where to start on this but lets try.
Have you ever watched something so bad it was watchable but not more than once or ate food that smelled horrible but was palatable. Well this is like one of those choices.
*The main character for him all i could think was what..no wait...nani kore? Ughhh okay whatever.
*Liked the love interest kind of because her emotions actually changed in a good way.
*Side characters mostly annoyed me (seriously he is so stingy and doesn't teach them just yells all the time) but with a few good parts with certain characters in between, and the "evil" guy was just crazy and not in a good way. (kind of like sao's crazy elf dude whose attitude and face makes you want to slam yours into and through a wall although he did not look ba…

The best I can describe the show in one word is "Mediocre."
The story is rather bland and there is not much character development. Everything the show has going for it has been done before with greater success.
The character development wouldn't be as bad if they focused on the quality of characters and not the quantity. They would introduce and important character for the story in one episode and we would never see them again.
The main character is stuck up and overestimates himself, Though unlike other stuck up anime characters he tries but in the end he is still weak until hes in danger, then the mystical plot armor appears.
Though despite everything I kept watching and coming back to it.
In the end its not trash but i wouldn't recommend it to others.

Tbh, after the start i just don't wanted to watch this anime anymore, because the main character is just so annoying. The only way the Anime could bring me on, were the story and the other characters. Especially "Saraato" <3 I love her character and i loved how she always motivated hiiro. I would have gave this Anime a 9/10, because of Saraato as character and the story, but Hiiro as main character was just too annoying.
It would have been more interesting, if Hiiro would be usefull in the normal fights and not when he gets angry and the dragon awakes in him. That's the only point i liked. When i started, i thought Hiiro was a bad ass guy who can win vs everyone, but after the first fight i saw that he is useless.

And here I thought I could not find any anime worse than konosuba. Boy, was I wrong.
Let's start with the title. "Seisen" means holy war in japanese, and I assume that they call it cerberus because it's a war between 3 countries. But seriously, there's nothing holy about this war. The reason the armies were about to fight each other is because all of them heard a RUMOR that the other two countries are exploiting the power of an evil dragon. Naturally, this rumor was spread by our antagonist the weapon dealer so that he could squeeze out their money. Seriously? You should have bothered to verify the rumor first before you do something this detrimental. And oh, the stupidest one is the king of the elves. Her lackeys said she was praying in her altar for 3 days straight, and their god didn't…

One-word-review: Garbage.
Are you a fan of adventure anime?
Do you want to be entranced by a fantasy?
Are you looking for that cool and strong main character with interesting side characters?
Hate to break it to you, but you're in the wrong place. The more I watched, the more I thought that it was complete trash. That is, until about episode 8. Then it picks up and becomes a slightly below average series with a bunch plot conveniences EVERYWHERE for the last 5 episodes. I have seen numerous anime and usually give high ratings. I think that this is actually not worth wasting your time on. Adventure and Fantasy tend to be my favorite genres, but this...
To emphasize to you how bad this show is: Take a typical cool and strong main character of your choice, remove all of his coolness,…

Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalites...yeah "Fatalites" is right as in it's fatally BORING.
Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalites is by far one of most boring by the numbers anime LA has seen in a while. Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalites follows a typical "revenge" anime under a fantasy world...sounds similar to another horrible anime with that setting *cough* Chaos Dragon *cough*
With characters who are extremely stereotypical and a hot-blooded main protagonist with NO combat skills in swordsmanship yet gloats about his "combat skills", well the main protagonist Hiiro is an annoying, whining main protagonist and to go with him is Saraato a mysterious girl who has NO personality, Giruu, the guardian for Hiiro who although he gets a backstory doesn't get developed enough and has y…

Have you ever watched a show that was just so bad that it was actually enjoyable? Has there ever been a time that the entire runtime of the show, the series just simply did not give any fucks as to how or what it was actually doing? Well, let me tell you the tale of Cerberus, a Spring 2016 anime that looks like it was made in the early 2000's with a plotline so bad that it can't decide whether or not it wants to rush to the end, or drag shit out longer.
Story: The continent of Kuna'ahn is a place ruled by the evil dragon Dagan Zot. After the Balbagoa Disaster that happened many years ago, the world is left in fear, terrified if the evil dragon will return. We follow the story of Hiiro (Translates to Hero. Yes, that is ACTUALLY his name.) on his journey as a wandering swordsman to kill the…

If you don't want spoilers, I would stop reading this now, as a very minor one lies in this review. However, I would argue that the spoiler helps greatly with the enjoyment you'd get out of this show.
TL;DR: If you like unintentionally funny and have a good knowledge of tropes, you can probably enjoy this a fair bit. The characters have some incredible stupidity going on, which can actually end up being charming. Eventually, it can grow on you as well. If you don't like that stuff? It won't have much to offer you.
Cerberus is not a great show, it's not even a good show.
It is, however, a hilarious show.
Now I'll be up front. If you're looking for a good story, with good production values, excellent characters, world building, deep meaning, and original twists then....
None of that…
