Warning: Minor Spoilers
Initially I watched this show in dub and I can say it definitely hindered my enjoyment and immersion in this show. None of the voice acting was that great and the monologuing was almost unbearable. If you ever try to watch this please do it in the sub.
Plot: This anime is essentially one giant tournament arc, and the power system compliments it surprisingly well. The powers, as bizarre as they are, keep you entertained with the unique ways some of the characters use them. The main issue with it I had though was how they kept adding different parts to it seemingly randomly to help Ueki grow stronger. These different parts being the sacred weapons and the level 2 sort of just appear randomly with no foreshadowing or mentioning whatsoever.
Characters: This category i…

Story: 8 (While can sound absurd to some people, i massively appreciate the attempt of being a completely different story for a take in shonen)
Art: 6 (Granted that it is an older series, but animation consistency is still important, while some fights looks great, some looks clunky, but nothing eyebreaking)
Sound: 7 (Some lackluster use of sounds, but overall nothing too distracting, the voice acting is great)
Characters: 9 (Some charaters can be obnoxious sometimes, but the pay off of their characters are always very well excecuted)
Enjoyment: 7 (Some episodes are honestly a drag, but the overall watch through is quite an enjoyable ride)
The Law of Ueki is not for everyone, it is for those who seeks a different type of anime in regards of its execution, even with that, there's still…

Story:
The story is every shounen lover's dream. Story was original and intense. Its about a tournament where 100 heavenly beings each choose a middle school student and gives them an ability where all of them has to battle so they can win the zai ability which you can wish for any power or talent and your master would be the new god in heaven as well. There are three rounds in the tournament.
Art:
Fights are one of the best but the animation is very old and low quality
Sound:
OPS and EDS were amazing. The first opening really suits the anime
Character:
The main character is a laid-back person that believes deeply in his own justice. His ability is the ability to change trash into trees. The abilities are actually changing something onto another thing so don't be expecting canons from…

For me, it's a masterpiece of shounen. I'm not saying that this anime is better than the popular shounen. Since it's already finished and I think it's one of those underrated anime. For those who disagree, I respect your standards. I've been badly wanting to watch this. Okay, so much for my opinions. I like the plot because it already catches my attention how much more if you watch it. Right? I like the way the artist draws the emotions on the face of the characters. That one episode leaves that remarkable emotion for me. Argrhhh! If I say more that it will be spoiled. I really like the character of Ueki and his powers. Even Ai Mori the way she meddles with some things. I really enjoyed watching this anime the comedy acts, the unique powers and the friendship. For those who still did not w…

After finishing some rather big shounen series and looking for something new to pick up, preferably something under 70 episodes, I found The Law of Ueki.
Story(7):
This series is a tournament type anime, and the story is nothing unexpected. You can tell, for the most part, where it is going right off the bat. Now that's not to say it's boring, the series did have a solid story line that kept me interested, plus the series has a definite ending(wrapping up after 51E). Although I do feel your enjoyment has to do with weather you like this type of series and weather you like the characters.
Characters(8):
One thing I love about shows like this is the variety of characters, each with their own personalities and quirks. Which is what The Law of Ueki gives. The show gives us 5(6 if you coun…

[This review will focus on finding out if this anime is worth a shot for YOU]
-----------------------------------------------------
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Basically, The Law of Ueki is nothing like the head-first Shounens out there: the powers included in this one are rather... weird, let's say, but VERY interesting nonetheless!
What if you had the power to transform trash into trees? Or towels into iron? Well, I'm not giving more examples because that would spoil it a bit, but it's pretty easy to see where this is going. -----------------------------------------------------
MAIN PLOT:
The main plot is quite original! High school students get selected by Celestials (people who reside in "Heaven") to represent them in an all-out "tournament" by getting these special and hilarious powers. The…

This anime changed my entire outlook on life, and I live my life as I see in this anime. The main character, Ueki, has this sense of "righteousness," where he helps people and stuff like that, and will go to insane lengths. They also throw in a few more morals to live by. The characters are pretty cool, the story is pulls you in, the ending is mind blowing, and this anime is just too short. Definitely an anime to check out. This might sound super cheesy, and I am serious, but Ueki is going to be an amazing figure to watch throughout all of this. It's amazing to see characters like the ones you'll see here, and like I've said time and time again, it's an anime to live by.

Following a recommendation on hunter x hunter 2011, I ended up at The law of ueki, and after watching all the 52 eps, this is what I felt : it has a cliche plot, cliche side characters, cliche mc, cliche setting of a tournament, cliche concept,.......and yet.........non cliche powers, different style of fighting, outright comedy, and cool character roles.(i shall clear the difference between characters, and their role in character part)
The story is based on a knock out tournament (a popular tag which few even classify as a genre of its own) and a final prize for the winner. This concept has been overused like the chunin exam of naruto, or hunter exam of hxh, or a recent example mirai nikki. Yet the execution is entirely different and unique in its own way. The story goes on like this- t…

Ok, this is my first review so don't expect a detailed review and also I do not look for reviews so I've got no preference and so it's very different from a normal review by a lot of users here. I've only heard this from a friend and said I should go check this out cause this is his favorite anime.
First of all, The Law of Ueki is a very fun and exciting anime to watch even if you do not watched it while it is still progressing in Japan.
Story (8/10)
I think the story is simply linear. TRUE it is amazing but to me it is just a simple story about a high school boy(which to me is very common and I fully understand why) who was given power to compete which have the best power. I give it a 8 because of how the story progresses. It's hard to find an anime with an excellent story progression w…

I swear i will never forget about this anime.
It is one of my favorite animes ever, i really enjoyed the story, it has a great comedy & action.
I liked basically all of the characters, especially the main one (Ueki Kosuke) I think people can learn alot from him.
& to mention that the story from this anime tells how important friendship is.

The law of ueki is a great anime. It's not revolutionary or anything and the story is basic but i enjoyed it. To say the truth i was sceptical at first because of it's length. I know 51 episodes isn't a huge number of episodes but i only watched anime with 12-26 episodes so the law of ueki wasn't in my top interests. Now i am happy that i watched it.
(story) The story is about a kid called Ueki Kousuke. An normal high schooler that is picked by a god candicate? What is that? Well as the name says it's a candicate for a god and each candicate has to pick a highschool kid to fight for them. Ueki is one of those kids. Thankfully he is given a power to defend himself. What is that power you ask? Well he can change garbage to.........trees. Not and the most helpful power but ok. It's still bet…

The Law of Ueki is the story of several young teenagers with super powers who are fighting in a competition to gain great power. The competition starts with one on one battles but shifts to group battles for the second round, but there's a problem. There's a competitor who wants the power to wipe out humanity. You know, this plot sounds very familiar, almost like I've seen something with an identical story, but where was that...
I remember, it was Shaman King.
Be honest, you all saw that coming. The underlying plots really are almost identical. The only major differences are that Shaman King's tournament had competitors of all ages and the competitors in The Law of Ueki can lose their abilities but those aren't really significant changes. Hell, even the plot twist toward the end, which…

The law of Ueki is an interesting anime that carries with it entertaining characters and Is worth checking out.
STORY
Overall the story maintained a great balance between being fun and being serious when the time called. Perhaps not the most original in creation, it still managed to keep my attention throughout the lengthy 51 episode.
7/10
ART
The Art was average at best. There was nothing particularly riveting in the style that managed to separate itself from the crowd but, at the same, time there was nothing to hold against it. A tad childish, I venture to describe it as ‘typically shounen’.
6/10 SOUND
The voices were well cast and the sound effects and music fit in nicely with the flow. I found it easy to listen to and not stressful to my hearing, I especially entertained myself by r…

The Law of Ueki... I would probably say this is the first anime I watch regarding about amazing powers/abilities... (Now even more show expand on it such as To aru Series, Book of Bantora etc)
First impression... Not good... Thanks to the title... I mean, who would wanna watch something with the title "The Law of Ueki"... I would suggest find a better name.
But after recomended by a few people, I'm enter the world of Ueki. But once I start watching... It is absolutely AWESOME!!! Come on... Pretty original on the storyline... But like all fighting anime, you can guess the outcome... Hero (Ueki) meets a bad ass player... Fight... Loses... Fight again with insane power... win. However, you would never even imagine the fight can turn out this way... Plot is kinda predictable, yet unpredictab…

Most action shows gives a group of people some of the coolest most destructive powers ever imagined. Cutting huge boulders with a sword, blowing stuff up with their mind, shooting laserbeams from their eyes, and so on. “The Law of Ueki” decided to go in a different direction. It decided to give a bunch of people some useless powers, throw them together and see what happens.
It took me about 5 minutes into the first episode to figure out this show wasn't going to have the greatest plot ever. The whole show is just a glorified tournament. The way the show explains all the rules is a girl arbitrarily stumbles across some one using their power and so someone decides to just explain everything in depth to her for what really comes down to no good reason. In short the new king for the celestia…

This is my first time writing a review,so if I make any mistake,I'm sorry.
Anyway I want to make a review of this anime,because The Law of Ueki is one of my favorites anime and I want more people to watch it.
Story (10/10):
I know this is too much to give an anime 10 out of 10,but I love this anime!It's not the best anime around,but I know it's far from the worst.The Law of ueki got comedy,action,adventure,romance(a little).There's not a lot of anime like The Law of Ueki that has the justice Ueki has.Ueki is a boy that has a strong sense of justice that not many people have.He was involve into a fight where God and powers involve.Ueki have the power to change trash to tree,and then he got a lot of friends in the fight.

The arts was great,the quality was good and I love the…

I've come to realize that with all the newest animes coming out recently, there are still others that people seem to have forgotten, that or they've never heard of any of these shows. I'm talking about the kind of animes that are really good and underrated, but seem to have slipped under the radar.
The Law of Ueki, is one of those shows.
Plot:
God has created a tournament, called the battle of the supernatural powers, to decide who will take his place as the ruler of heaven. All 100 god candidates must pick a middle school student, give him/her a strange, yet unique power, and act as their fighter. The winning candidate will become the new god and the fighter will receive the talent of blank, which will give him/her whatever talent he/she wants. However, there are people who want the tal…

The Law of Ueki
This anime starts pretty weak. When you first walk into The Law of Ueki, there's not really anything to pull you in. It's a shounen anime. Ok, sweet, shounen I can get in the mood for shounen. So what's the main character able to do? Turn trash into trees. Awesome! wait what. He can turn trash into..... trees...
That's pretty much what The Law of Ueki will hit you with. However, that's what turns this anime into something so brilliant.
--Story--
You've read the synopsis so let's cut to the chase. The story in The Law of Ueki is definitely not its strongest point. As far as shounens go, The Law of Ueki is ahead of its competitors. Ueki strives towards his goals one step at a time, while meeting characters who ultimately he befriends. Stick in some backstory for the charac…

The law of ueki is a very unique anime. The general story is that in order to choose the next god, the god candidates select their preferred human and grants them very strange powers. Ex, the power to turn trash into tress, the power to turn your hair into a bat, the power change a ring into a rocket....etc. The anime starts out very basic with no depth to it, although as you get deeper into the anime, the story takes some really interesting turns. It truly does get better. And please note that watching the SUBBED or DUBBED version makes a very big difference. Meaning that i watched the DUBBED episode till about 35 and it was really horrible, the SUBBED version made me enjoy the anime better believe it or not.If it helps any the main character is voiced by the same person that voices Hitsu…

Chihuahua Review(short&sweet): This is a good shounen(bunch of guys and action) to watch. There are alot of unique characters. Let me rephrase that there are a lot of UNIQUE powers here.
------------------------------>In Depth Review: _< The powers even get stronger.
ENJOIMENT: I couldn't stop watching this when i started it was so addicting I always wanted to find out wat happend next. Everything blended so well! Very close to being a nine overall. Ending was nice and really hope there is a second season(heard rumors).
OVERALL: No matter how generic this anime sounds it is good and definately worth a watch. Even though everything about it is not that great, the execution was amazing.
Recommendation: If you like shounens wit…
