Zora-Twilight
Half of this show feels like (and probably is) filler. A few filler characters are important to the plot in the end, but many aren't. While some of the it is fun and interesting (episode 11), the rest is tedious (anything with the guys who wear pots on their heads).
Filler aside, the show isn't really anything special. Aside from some of the colorful characters, it's just another fantasy-adventure anime where our band of heroes must go somewhere to find something. The show is often goofy, so if you're looking for a serious fantasy series, I'd look elsewhere.
Other thoughts:
-The animation often looks stiff and only a handful of character designs actually stick out.
-Jeda the priest needed more screentime.
-I did get some laughs out of the frequent slapstick.
-There was a chibi folk tale…

This anime is a hidden jem: it's not perfect nor the best anime ever made, but it is worth your time.
First things first: this anime's plot is generic and a bit bad; and it's a shame that the first half of the fist episode is dedicated to set up the plot and introducing characters that are not important until later in the series.
But the shows knows this, so instead of boring you with the same generic plot of "let's travel and save the world", the show focuses on traveling though the fantasy world and the character interactions; and only specific episodes are plot "heavy", and even in those episodes there are more than enough gags to keep you entertained. Althou, my problem with this approach is that you'll forget why they were travelling in the first place (but you'll have so much fun…

Being a player of DFO from the old Nexon days, I was excited when finding this overlooked anime during middle school (2009). I have watched a few episodes back then and often skipped one or two episodes because I was impatient to see the whole thing but I went back and watched everything in 2015. The story was pretty generic with the whole traditional character class roles in an RPG like a warrior , fighter, mage, gunner, and priest (a healer that can kick ass). As for the characters, I enjoyed watching them going on about their quest while creating a laid-back atmosphere (except until the mid to late episodes where everything got serious). Since I was in love with playing DFO (even now I still do), my love for the anime is pretty high up on the charts despite what most people say about it…

I watched this show years ago and it was the first “real anime” I ever saw. It holds a special place in my heart and I decided to come back and write a review because of the DFO re-release.
Ill go ahead and say I gave the show a 8/10 based purely on just how much I enjoyed watching watching it. I wont sit here and defend the flaws that are very much present in this show.
4/10 Story
There really isn’t a story behind this show besides Baron trying to get rid of his Demon arm and the ridiculous characters he gets to join his cause. The characters that join him on his journey get a short little arc before joining up and continuing on with Baron. The characters have very little back story but I wanna say they redeem themselves by not being boring and making Barons “party” a very nice mixtur…

I'm probably being too generous giving this 8/10 overall, but I quite liked it. Before watching it, I heard many complaints. The priest's certain "habit", some "Gonzo" company made it, people said it was boring, and just made negative comments in general. Throughout watching it, I heard several comments about how people hated "party call" and a lot of other things. Some of the positive/negative comments people made led me to believe they didn't really understand the show.
This show loosely follows the storyline in Dungeon Fighter Online. The show has many of your favourite NPCs from the game, which is just something fun to see if you've played DFO. GSD definitely looks like he's able to see, Bwanga wasn't in here at all, and there are a bunch of other inaccurate things.
Anyhow... I'd hav…

"WE ARE PARTY!"
There's a curious phenomenon occuring in the entertainment industry, one that blurs the line between what you read, watch and play, and while we may all be familiar with the weird, wonderful, and sometimes downright appalling world of the adaptation, in truth the dividing line between the mediums is beginning to fade.
Where am I going with this? Well, in recent years games and gaming, especially on consoles, has moved to the forefront of the entertainment industry, and in order to capitalise on the popularity of a given title various production companies and writers have begun to produce adaptations of games that have proven themselves cash cows. One recent example of this is the latest Hollywood release, "Prince of Persia", a movie which clearly signifies Hollywood's de…
