Holy ass, like genuinely this anime is abysmal. From terrible pacing to the most bland, uninteresting, and sigh-inducing characters and writing. If it isn't just the most confusing plot points and info dumps imaginable, it's the mediocre robotic voice direction and shoe-horned fan service. Nearly every aspect of this show is coated with an irritating corny aftertaste, leaving the viewer with a migraine or fighting not to turn it off.
Nothing I say is hyperbolic or an over exaggeration either; the factors leading to this show's downfall are all shown within the first episode alone. A plot sown together by silly-string, a power system that never gets a proper explanation to let it even make half amount of sense, eye-rolling fan service, terrible voice direction & line delivery, generic mai…

"EDENS ZERO"
Genre- Adventure, Action, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Space, Shounen.
What does it mean to have a heart? Does it mean to be human? Does it mean to be alive and kicking and if so then are these the only things that come with you having a heart? Where do emotions, feelings of fear/anxiety/anger/happiness and sadness stand? Who and when can we consider someone a being with a heart? And if having a heart means being human, what about those AI/androids that develop feelings? Are they merely just tools that are to be used and discarded or are they someone who can become so close to you that your own family feels unfamiliar to you?
These are the foremost questions that strike you with each episode of this anime. While it has a super strong plot of Shiki going on a journey to make 100 friends…

Space One Piece starts off with a great premise but fails to deliver. The Main character Shiki is way too overpowered from the beginning and no one ever feels in danger. This anime could have been amazing but the writing is just Bad. The Bad guys are Bad because they are Bad guys and the good guys are good because they are good. One Piece has villains with motivations that make sense and directly conflict with the main characters. Few of the adventures feel like they actually move the plot along at all other than to introduce us to another new character to befriend because our Main character wants to make more Friends.
I actually think they should have leaned in more to the fact that our protagonista Shiki just wants to make Friends. I think they could have benefited with showing is even…

Edens Zero is very disappointing. Written by Hiro Mashima it channels many of his other works such as Fairy Tail and Rave. It provides an adequate adventure plot with the character stereotypes that Mashima is known for. There are many cameos throughout the series from his previous works and it is rather humorous to see their likenesses in a different work. This is where the good ends however. The level of animation is sub par, and ruins the overall enjoyment of the anime. Many fight scenes are cut into single frames, this is especially evident towards the later half of the series. The pacing is also horrendous. There are many scenes that are unimportant to the plot that have longer run-times than anything that is actually relevant. There is really no reason to watch this over reading the m…

No Spoilers
Looking at Edens Zero from a glance will usually garner one of two reactions. One: It’s Fairy Tail in SPACE!!! Two: Obligatory fanboyism or utter disgust at the mention of Fairy Tail or the artstyle. This is a certainty that no-one in the anime and manga community can reasonably avoid, and what does that mean for the series itself? Is it some sort of magnificent hidden diamond in the rough that only gets a bad rep because its author is the creator of one of the most divisive series in history? Is it just a flaming pile of complete sh%t that was left buning on your doorstep? Well the answer is a bit more complicated than just good or bad, and that all starts with your perception of Mashima’s work.
What do you value in a good anime series? Faithfulness to the source material?…

I'd say the story is decently paced. I always go back for more and can't wait to see what happens in the next episode. Many different and interesting situations happens in this show, and you can feel the emotions behind the scenarios that happen to some characters. It really makes you care for the characters, and feel their pain, happiness, or emotions in general.
Art: As for the art itself it's good. But you can tell the creator just kinda reused some fairy tail characters designs, and that's alright. Some people do that with anime.
As for the animation like fight scenes, while it's good, it has yet to be as good as Fairy Tail, but that's understandable. Don't want to spend alot of the animation budget on just simple plot scenes. Could be saving it for later in the story.
Characters: Ea…

quick review without spoil ( English not my main language and not using google trad, I wish you good luck )
This anime is the typical animé you keep watching because the main plot is attractive, it give you hope it'll be better after and lot of scenarios surprises and story dev but it's better to not take it serious and for many reasons you can't have any emotion or care for the characters on screen because it's full of nonsenses.
you know the hero will win somehow at the end, the scenario drama need a surprises it will always be absurd
Also , It's hard to really love this anime because of endless stupidity of the main character. yes once again, the hero is so dumb it kill lot of the show interest OR he is under serious hard drug to be always ecstatic and so disconnected ... ( and sup…

"Only Anime Can Save the Universe."
From the weirdly genius and perverted mind of Hiro Mashima, the creator of two of my favourite manga Rave and Fairy Tail comes an adaption of his new work Edens Zero. Hiro has left the fantasy world of magic and has gone for a full-blown space opera odyssey filled to the brim with weird and wacky characters for everyone to enjoy/hate/get horny over.
I was slightly worried when I learnt that J C Staff would be handling this adaptation. Their shows tend to be well-drawn and pretty but lack fluidity when in motion and considering the quality of some of their anime outputs in 2021 you can't blame me for my concern. Thankfully, although still choppy in some episodes the animation is overall pretty good. Most of the combat scenes felt good to watch and the…

Its good. It essentially has the exact same feel as Fairy Tail but enhanced where the fights are better, graphics are better, quality is higher all while still being the same. It's got a nice 2014 feel to it but with the technology of 2019 from what it feels like. Starts out slow and whatever but it gets better fast. lots of action, there is a lot of classic anime autism but its relatively easy to get over it. Definitely not a top anime contender but it doesn't need to be. It was enjoyable and fun to watch. If you got nothing else to do its definitely worth trying out.

Honestly edens zero is such an underatted gem.
People keeps on hating on it and refuse to watch it because they think its a fairytale rip-off and as you know fairytail isnt really good and got lots of haters.
But believe me this really good! This is so good and way better than fairytail.
Of course the characters looks almost the same as the characters from fairytail bc their from the same creator. The one who made edens zero is the same guy who made fairytail.
Story: The series isnt really about "the power of friendship like fairytail"
It isnt LOL. It takes place in more futuristic setting. In outer space!
Overall i'd rate it an 8 its so good if you compare it to season 1 of fairytail in my opinion 😅 No hate to fairytail tho!
Characters: Shiki the mc is like a combo of natsu and gray c…

I just want to clarify one thing ,This is not Fairy Tail ripoff and it won't be any more
It is not a fun adventure ,sure starts as casual shounen but differs arc by arc believe me it gonna get bloody and gore dark adventure ,if you don't believe me go and read manga
I see some idiots in comments without even watching watching full 25 episodes started to talk trash, as if they have seen and know everything ,please don't mind them ,
I admit
Season 1 is general start as most shounen ,
but Season 2 will show the true Theme and potential of Edens zero, This show doesn't care about either hero's or Villains everyone has to face consequences you will find it season 2 onwards. People don't mind biased people they can't get happy and won't let other stay happy
Every show has a turning point and…

There are many people who compare FT and EZ. and well it makes sense to do so, since both works are by the same mangaka. one of which was a hit. So one would expect EZ to have better things than FT right?
Well in the following review I will give my opinion on some things:
Story: I have to be honest, I love FT but EZ has a stronger story and a better plot. Although comparing EZ with FT in history does not make sense, since, what work is not better than FT in this regard? but you still have to give EZ an extra point. since in quality, Mashima improved a lot.
7/10
Art: I think it is the most conflictive point among the fans. Since EZ looks like a copy paste of FT. but of course later you see that both series are from the same creator and it makes sense that they have similarities. but it…

Edens Zero (2021)
Well, for what is a copy of Fairy Tale it does appear to be much darker in its story but also different. I appreciate characters look similar but at the same time, an artist can only draw so diversely. If an artist could draw a million different things in different ways then you wouldn't need many of them. Those that call this a rip off of Fairy Tale need to watch Rave Master which came first which shows that Fairy Tale did no different and yet we loved it. It is like Pokemon, rehash the same story in a new generation to keep it fresh. I doubt many hardcore Fairy Tale fans have even watched Rave Master.
Before going in, the best girls:
Hermit is just adorable.
Elsie Crimson is pretty cool.
Xiaomei is also cute.
The story is a good solid adventure that strives with…

The biggest hot topic with Edens Zero is just how similar it is to Mashima's previous works, and since that's been done to death I won't bother to beat the dead horse. Suffice to say I also reckon it's a ripoff.
But what pisses me off more than anything else is the world. This world is not science fiction. It's fantasy in space. And that is just so bland, lazy, and uninspired considering all the fantasy drivel being pumped with isekai and its ilk. Ether is quite honestly the most disgusting BS power system that I've ever seen in a sci-fi world. Magic is not illegal in sci-fi, but basing your entire power system on it without quantifying what it does makes things completely confusing. Ether just does whatever the plot wants it to do. There's no consistency and as a result the world buildin…

3/5 People tend to downplay Mashima and in a way I can understand that, it has same the art style as Fairy Tail ,some characters are straight up copypasted, the amount of fanservice is just downright awfull, and my god is the story is just a poor excuse to highlight the female body. Here suprisingly it's not the case, it has fanservice but very few instinces, and the story personally can be a bit iffy some places but compensates with bombastic action ,and his third adapted work finally has decent animation ,so if you like Fairy tail you will like this and if you don't well....just give it a few episodes

Utter Trash
I have no idea what I thought when picking up this show but it has been 6 months of pure fuckin pain. I have not found anything funny except the entire character named Nino who not only thinks anime will save the universe but he also thinks the manga was better. Both are correct statements
Let's hop on to some other shit. The characters are honestly bland who have no reason to even exist. Shiki is very generic shounen MC with bullshit powers in his case it is gravity manipulation. He just wants to sail the universe and find this cosmic being called "Mother" Rebecca is your average E-Girl who will thot her way to B-cube Stardom. She hangs around with her partner and her gun named Happy, who is just the fairy tail character. We have Homura who is quite advanced samurai. She is…

To start out my review, I haven't seen/or touch any Hiro Mashima works. Edens Zero is my first.
Story(8/10): Shiki is your usual shounen protagonist who like going on a adventure. Throughout the whole shows we stop at planets that have their own uniqueness. Even though it not groundbreaking, this shows offer nonstop hype moment & tearjerker. Imo, I preferred the 2nd half over the 1st cour.
Characters(8/10): The characters are the best aspect of Edens Zero. Longtime anime fans will try to undermine their significance, but, they give me a vibe of early 2000s shows. Shiki is fun to watch on screen. Rebecca(B-cuber) is the best heroine from what I seen so far. Homura is very adorable when she sprouted her inner-monologue. Weisz is a awesome professor.
Four Shining Stars is a whole other st…

This anime has the potential to become even better than Fairy Tail. Edens Zero is known as the "Fairy Tail" ripoff, but just because the art is too similar doesn't mean the series itself won't be good. Going through a space setting for this anime, Edens Zero contains aspects that differentiate from Fairy Tail in terms of how it's created by Mashima that gives the series its individuality. There are tons of differences in the Edens Zero anime adaptation that pales in comparison to Mashima's previous works.
The plot itself is simple, with a goal that may take forever. But along the way has the main cast visit various planets in hopes of accomplishing that goal. The world-building is an improvement from previous works from Mashima. Not only did it show what each planet was like, but it furth…

I may not have seen or been the biggest fan of Rave Master nor Fairy Tail (the latter being a lot more referenced), but it's clear that what Hiro Mashima is doing, he's doing it well. And Edens Zero may just be the culmination of the best of the best of his works, that say whatever you want about it being a Fairy Tail rip-off (which is true). In hindsight, Edens Zero's lore overall is much more interesting than the cluster-eff of botched executions that was Fairy Tail, and I'm glad I gave it a chance because while I'm not so much a Shonen fan, since Yuki Tabata's Black Clover made me think otherwise, I guess I've gotta go for it, and came out pleasantly surprised. BTW, it's not a perfect "10" score like any fandom giving scores of that just to prove their point (I know I did for Black Clov…

Anyone criticizing this show for being a Fairy Tail rip-off is totally missing the point.
ALL of Hiro Mashima’s manga are a rip-off of the one which came before. This man has only ever told one story, but that story isn’t called Fairy Tail, it’s called Rave. Rave is a generic, hot-blooded shounen action series about a guy with spiky hair and a blonde bimbo with big tits who go on a magical adventure to fight evil with the power of friendship. Rave was a massive, long-running success, and after it concluded, Mashima quickly launched a new series called Literally Who Gives a Shit, but seeing as this manga was not successful by any metric, it only ran for about a year. But Mashima didn’t give up, and in a matter of months, he came out with Fairly Tail. Fairy Tail is a generic, hot-blooded sh…
