Alright so I am just gonna keep this short, sweet, and to the point
Story: 6/10
- the storyline had potential, but in the end, there were too many unanswered questions. In addition to that, it is quite easy to get confused at times because some things were not well explained.
Art: 6/10
- this anime was aired in 2009, you can't really expect it to have amazing animation. I say it was sub-par.
Sound: 7/10
- sound was alright, average at best. I really did enjoy the theme song though. Character: 7/10
- I found that the anime did present some characters that you could really feel for and connect with. However, the anime introduced too many characters that were irrelevant to the story.
Enjoyment: 7/10
- even with a lot of evident flaws, i still enjoyed it. Unlike some anime, i become disi…

Okay so this will be my first formal review for an anime in this website and it is because of how disappointed I am after watching it.
Story 4/10
- I thought that the plot was pretty interesting as it was set in a post apocalyptic world with monsters known as contaminoids and that the you protect your moving fortress, battle with other fortresses for resources and also platoons competing against each other within the fortresses but then it starts get confusing for me, especially those scenes with really really bad English voiced scenes that was shown as a TV show in some scenes but in other episodes just appeared as if it was related but all the way till the end it had no relation at all except the fact the the female character "Saya" has the same name and character design of a girl name…

When I watched this anime I kept getting reminded of Kaze no Stigma. I personally enjoyed Kaze no Stigma, but I know not all people share my sentiments.
I felt that both KnS and CSR were both good but not amazing, I would give them both 8's across the board in all categories.
Some other reasons why I was reminded of KnS
-Very overpowered MC
-Producer died, leaving the show somewhat incomplete
I've heard some way that the anime adaptation of CSR felt complete at the end, but I felt like there could have been more. My friend who read the manga said that the anime does not encompass the entire manga. I would have liked to see more, but I don't think there is any hope for this anime to be continued, so if you finish the show wanting more, then you have to switch to the manga.
Story 8/10…

It was inevitable for me to get a little excited to start this series. The hostile post-apocalyptic scenario, the presentation of the premise, its aesthetics and the mystery surrounding it generated expectations just during the first 10 minutes of episode one, expectations that wouldn't be (by far) reached by Chrome Shelled Regios during the rest of the show, as the development of the real plot was quickly replaced for non-contributory, mostly-boring side stories with a coarse harem inbetween.
The turn-off caused by that was comparable to that of our simpleton Layfon who is more accompanied by an insipid crew of females than by revelations about the world he lives in and serious battles, thanks to him being disproportionately powerful because of the simple fact he's the main character. So…

I'm really torn when writing this review. I feel like this anime could be absolutely amazing, because it is, and yet it isn't. For starters it needs to have about 50 more episodes. I feel like the creators intended a very long series and had to wrap everything up very quickly.
Story 6/10
The story is pretty interesting and has a lot of potential, however there were just too many plot lines brought up and left hanging. There are concepts that are simply short-lived and there are incidents that happen on the basis that it will be explained later...but they never get around to it. The whole idea of this badass kid trying to fit in like a normal person and not being able to because he's so badass is just great. But there are about fifty other things going on that tend to take away from the "…

Chrome Shelled Regios is one of those animes that I watched without real interest. The art is good, animation is fluid, this point is ok.
The main thing I disliked about it, was that it was too centered around the main character. Layfon is strong, Layfon appears when others are in danger, Layfon beats everyone. Close to every women character are blushing when seeing him, even if there is no romance. Even the cold one ends up being all over the hero. The other characters feel like they were added just to have some kind of background but there's no real work on them.
During 24 episodes the story isn't fantastic, nothing that surprises us suddenly, well they played the safe card. In the end, many questions are unanswered. It seems that no second season will be released so they will stay as…

CRS is a bit strange. It starts as post-apocalyptic military anime,then it becomes a high school one,then a harem,then again military.Throw in some romance,battles,plotholes that remeble ligth devouring singularities and you have an idea of how things work.
The story really is all over the place. It is filled with various sub plots that never come to a conclusion and many,many attempts to explain how things work in its universe that never come to fruition. Seiriously, whats the deal with moving cities?How everything became what like that?Why there is a mini-anime within the anime?I guess we'll never know.
The characters are lost in the plot desert.The only intersting one is Layfon,the main character who presents a development and the most interesting scenes in the anime(the figthing scen…

In a search for a good action anime, Chrome Shelled Regios (CSR in remaining review) popped up out of nowhere. The synopsis gave out a solid indication about the series so I decided to go for it. I’m somewhat glad to have encountered CSR this early in my anime viewing experience because I was able to appreciate it more despite all of its flaws.
STORY: 6
There’s only one thing you truly need to know about the story: it has no direction and it’s confusing on occasions. By “it has no direction” I mean that it’s basically a “monster of the week” with the addition of a bunch of flashbacks, some harem thrown in and somewhat hilarious twists. The story follows Layfon, mysterious young man who arrived in a city called Zuellin to do … something. However, by the odd turn of events, he’s enrolled i…

Chrome Shelled Regios is one of those animes where it isn't rated low because of what was bad about it, its rated low because of what wasn't good about it. In nearly all categories Chrome Shelled Regios is what I would call a mediocre anime.
Quick Pros and Cons
Pros:
Decent back story to main character
The setting and idea of the story was pretty cool even if it wasn't executed very well.
It was good enough that I actually finished it and didn't completely drop it lol.
Cons:
The action in the anime is scarce and what it is seen its okay at best.
The characters are either unlikeable or feel as though they have no personality to them what so ever.
The animation is meh (best way I can describe it)
The last battle of the anime is the simply put a disappointment.
There were so many opportu…

Set in a future where the air is toxic (or modern day china), where giant bugs known as contaminoids roam, cities walk the desert.
These cities are known as regios.
Our hero came to a new city for a fresh start after being banished from his old city.
While looking for an ordinary life he is quickly swept up into a military academy.
This anime may come off as a bit harem. However, this is justifiable as the main character actually has skills (few other harem characters do). His skill is that he could outswordfight Ichigo from bleach- he is that good.
The only problem is that it was a bit short. The last episode was kind of a letdown for the sole reason it felt like they could have spread it into 6 more episodes. The final ten minutes felt crushed together with no breathing room.

Why is it that those who seek power will go any length to become strong, and why is it that those who have power never want to use it?
This is an anime I would love to compliment on how it started, instead of just using those boring character introductions and beginnings that take forever to start right from episode 1 and 2 it just jumped in the show, which I absolutely loved. As you can see, this is a very fast paced anime that doesn’t waste time.
This is a post apocalyptic anime (in short the end of the world type of anime) and for the most part follows the 17th platoon on the journey they embark.
To be frank, the characters in this anime are very very unoriginal. It is almost like what you see in most anime, you have Mr. Hero, you have a bunch of girls who tend to fall in love with…

Okay My first Impression on this anime Chrome Shelled Regios. Was accidental yet a good accident why you may ask? I started wacthing this anime on episode 13. Alreday hooked to the story though,really,really entertaining. Other than the fact that Netflix had me going wrong parts.
DON'T GET CONFUSED AS SUCH NAMES AS "the Fallen ones" it's just a better way of saying the spirit of the city has gone mad.Don't let it get to your head.
Also I love this anime because it made me think and kind of put the subject in my shoes What would I have done?
Glad I saw episode 13 though or else I would of not understood episode 1.Which episode 1 I really love it wasn't confusing to me, than what other people said about the first episode"really confusing" not to me that is.
Anyways the Story 9/10

An average show from the beginning to the end.
Whether it's the story, the characters or the soundtrack Chrome Shelled Regios wasn't able to surprise in no moment at all.
The story is quite simple and it could have actually surprised if it was well managed.
In a future where the world is destroyed, humans live in dome-looking cities that move around the wasted Earth's surface. The only beings that can survive outside the cities are Filth monsters which quite often attack the cities, making it necessary a military force formed mostly by students. The most powerful city, Grendan is where the main character, Layfon Alseif is from. After being involved in a troublesome situation Layfon moves to Zuellni where he expects to start a new life and forget about his past. He meets the Student Coun…

Post apocalyptic worlds in anime are a bit of a strange area to visit as you're never quite sure what you'll find. It could be a world of amnesiacs, a princess who loves to fly, a lone warrior searching for his lost love, an outcast hunting his own kind, a boy from another world trying to stop a warmongering dictator, or something else entirely.
Imagine my surprise then, to find a high school.
That's right. Here at the end of the world the best that some bright spark could come up with was another high school. That said, Koukaku no Regios (Chrome Shelled Regios), does use the setting rather well, and approaches the whole concept in a manner that is somewhat entertaining.
Originally, Chrome Shelled Regios began life as a series of light novels by Amagi Shusuke, with a manga adaptation b…

With an intriguing plot, a great cast of characters easy to love,a main character with the coolest hair style imaginable, a harem with an action packed plot with a touch of funny, Chrome Shelled Regios was able to deliver a great watch and a wanting for more. I highly recommend this one to any fan that enjoys there action driven animes, without compromising other key components. what are you wanting for, go watch it!
PS, the girl that i always want the main character to end with always losses...

Chrome Shelled Regios is a very confusing anime, considering that they tried to rush and cram everything they could from the story line of the manga into twenty four episodes. Theres alot of things that were left out in the anime that leave you very confused. But don't let that turn you away from it! If your looking for endless battles, disgusting monsters, sprinkles of romance, and post-apocolypse type animes this is definately one to look into. I for one couldn't help but go through the anime in only three days time.
The reason I loved this anime was because of how beautiful the animation, effects, sound, and character development was. Overall I give this anime:
Story: 7 Good
Art: 10 Outstanding
Sound: 9 Great
Character: 8 Very Good
Enjoyment: 9 Great
Overall: 9 Great

Story/Plot – 6.7
The Overall plot is about Layfon Alseif, a person who has potential for being in Military Arts, but is reluctant because of his past. However, he still becomes part of the military academy, and finds himself in the 17th platoon fighting in Platoon matches, or against filth monsters and slowly revealing his past as he fights along.
Yes this deserves a low score of 6.7, why you ask? First of all R…

i would say this anime is somewhat like "Blue Gender"(an old anime)
chrome shelled regios is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where people live in giant dome cities that are powered by "electric fairies" because the world became too poluted to live in and there are giant man-eating creatures[filth monsters/limbeekoon] outside of the domes. the cities are classified differently depending on their military power: academy, lance shelled[one of the most powerfull in the world]...and so forth...
its abt a guy that gave up his past of fighting in the military[one of the strongest] but it caught up with him.his name is layfon azelfe and he probably is the most powerful character and has alot of girls falling for him....
to me the characters are great and funny
well thats all im gonna say...u w…

Ever since i saw the first couple of episodes i was expecting quite a lot out of this show. It seemed like it had everything it needed to become a top-notch show. Interesting alternate universe, diversity in characters, spectacular action, romance and comedy. However, when i had completed the show and looked back at these expectations it was kind of dissapointing.
First of all the universe. what could have become an epic battlefield became a rather weak setting. history and other facts come rushing at you, but never really worked out. More than once you'll find yourself wondering 'what the f*** ju…

Overall ~ 7
This show could have been really good , but suffered from severe pacing problems and one dimensional characters. The overall action in the show wasn't very good because Layfon never showed his true abilities so you never felt that feeling of excitement in a battle. The comedy was pretty good and mostly revolved around Feli kicking Layfon. I wish they had straightened out the pacing problems and made the filth monsters or people stronger so Layfon would show what he could really do.
Story ~ 6
The story for Chrome Shelled Regios is nothing out of the ordinary. People live in traveling domes and fight filth monsters, you have a summary. There are some major problems with how everything unfolds in the pacing department. (No spoilers don't worry). The beginning of the story was…
