This is exactly that case, when everything seems to be and not bad, but something is missing. The first thing that immediately attracts attention, it is quite beautiful and high-quality art, locally flavored 3D graphics. Abundance of fan service scenes really pleases the eyes and delivers the present pleasure. Girls are naked about and without reason, be it destruction clothes during a fight, specially adjusted situations or ridiculous accidents and it is necessary admit, that the young Valkyries, but in a different way the warlike-chans ways could not be called, looks like really erotic and attractive! At the same time, the picture is replete with bloody and even very cruel scenes, which, although not very different sophistication and sadism, but quite fully illustrate the scenes of blood…

VIOLENCE AND DRAMA AND BOOBIES OH MY!
I first started watching this gem when I finished another anime and was confused as all hell at the start. But what I DIDN'T notice is the teeny-weeny text at the start of each episode (I discovered this at episode two) so I went back and everything made sense. *AHEM*
Freezing MAY not be for everyone but for me personally it was my first "ecchi" anime and I nearly fainted at the first scene showing breasts as I was watching it at work and didn't know what ecchi was at the time. That aside the story is essentially about finding a partner, which I believe was well done BUT I could live without the confusion of everything leading up to the end. I had to rewatch a couple episodes and figure out what happened to lead up to the climax of this short series.…

Before I start this review I will say: I will try to keep this review spoiler free, and welcome to titsville.
I have mixed feelings about this anime. There are some good aspects. However, if you decide to watch this, you are in for one hell of a ride, to hell. The combination of tits-for-brains characters and constant meaningless fanservice left me cringing and facepalming on multiple occasions. If you don't feel like reading my jumbled thoughts, skip right to the conclusion.
Story:
Lets start with the good news. The story was actually quite interesting. Although it could have been executed much better, the story intrigued me enough to watch until the end despite all the horse shit (which will be discussed later) that takes place from beginning to end. The season finale looked like it…

If you are reading this because you have not yet seen this anime and are trying to see whether or not this is the right show for you, then please keep in mind that this review is of my own opinion that may differ from you own, so keep your own personal tastes in mind. If you have already seen this anime and are reading this then you're kind of just along for the ride.
Story/Characters:
The story for freezing is set in a semi-futuristic world where humanity is under threat by inter-dementonal aliens called Nova and young girls; augmented with superpowers named Pandora are tasked with fighting them (Read the synopsis).
Freezing from the very get go has a pretty solid concept and story with a few sci-fi things sprinkled here and there and enough lore to flesh things out and in fact the story…

I haven't read the manga yet, so my review will be based solely on how I enjoyed the anime.
Story/6
I shamelessly love the aliens-are-invading-lets-genetically-modify-teens-and-putem-in-a-school plot. I found that the Nova weren't really focused on at all until the last episodes, but the first half of the series was entertaining and flowed nicely. The story line is episode-by-episode for the most part but easy to keep track of.
Art/4
The characters were physically distinguishable - if only by hairstyle for all the redheads but I mean. The breasts were unnatural and vaguely uncomfortable to look at, since they more like resembled balloons that jutted outwards. Ehhh. All in all I didn't find the art particularly unique, pretty average.
Sound/8
I watched the English dubbed version and I…

Not really sure what to say other than I saw what the anime was supposed to be about and got my hopes up only to seem then dashed further against the rocks with each passing episode. After episode 1 I wanted to stop watching, but kept going at the recommendation of a friend.
It wasn't just that the entire anime was fan service galore, I've liked Ecchi anime's before. But it was the fact that the presented plot was a background. This might be spoiler so spoiler warning : While it promised an inter dimensional survival war. The whole series was basically a high school drama. Not even a good one, or even realistic.
Everything was so horrible I barely made it to the end of the series, sound was average as was the art which was the reason for this not getting a one. If all you're into is sof…

How do you like your boobs? Bare? Ample? Frequent?
If you answered yes to any or all of the above, Freezing is perfect for you!
If not, weeeell, you're not going to have such a great time.
I had to mention the boobs at the start because the one of the first thing you'll notice is how much fan-service there is in the show. There is not one single episode where a girl doesn't get her breasts out. Seriously. Not even one. They'll come out during fights after they take a hit on the chest, even if its a punch. I'm not sure how punching somebody makes their clothes explode, but that's what happens. This, and the frequent panty-shots take you out from the experience. While they would be fine if they were littered about occasionally (gotta keep the viewership interested), the sheer volume of them…

Well, this is my first review in this site since i just logged here and i feel like giving reviews in animes that i personally like or don't like. I'm a great fan of ecchi animes XD so i decided to make this review for freezing that is personally one of the few good ecchi animes around with a decent characteristics. Well, lets no waste time and start!
Story: 6/10
The story is set in a futuristic wold where the earth is being attacked by aliens called novas that comes from a other dimension. In order to stop it, modified genetically girls are created using some nova fragments on them called stigmas in order to fight novas using new abilities, those girls are called Pandoras. The story starts with a young japanese boy called Kazuya Aoi, that enters in a special school that trains both pand…

PMS the Series... I mean, Freezing... is a show about busty teenage girls with super powers getting into petty fights with each other because they got their fragile egos bruised. Then a bunch of aliens show up and try to destroy the world.
In short, if you like sci-fi magic combat anime and are willing to turn off that part of your brain that insists that the good guys actually have some redeeming qualities, you might enjoy this one.
Story: 3
I score it this low because of the setting, which drives the plot. WORST MAGICAL COMBAT SCHOOL EVER!
Let me explain. The school claims to be run with military discipline. But this is the school's idea of discipline: Upperclassmen can beat up on lowerclassmen all they want, and if the lowerclassmen do anything about it, they get punished. That's ri…

Entertainment is a fickle thing. Everyone has different tastes and different opinions, so making a series that satisfies the tastes of every single individual who may come across the series is a fundamental impossibility. Although, the entertainment industry keeps tabs on what has been deemed popular all throughout the course of history, and if nothing else, they use it to their advantage. While certain aspects of entertainment may be popular, that does not always guarantee those aspects can improve the quality of a title. These things could be criticized as the intentional use of said aspects in order to draw in viewers and have them pay for something they may not really be interested in. And what is debatably the most recognized aspect of this kind in the anime industry? Sex. Enter Freez…

I'll have to say, the reason I started this series is because the introduction summary reminded me of Ash and Pikachu XD. But besides that, Freezing is a definite different from anime i have watched so far.
Please remember that this is my own personal opinion, whether you find it distasteful or outright wrong in your viewpoint, is your own valued perspective.
Story: The story is original, although it has the overused theme of aliens coming to earth for reasons unknown other than destruction, a typical fanservice-harem anime was easily revealed when the main roles were given to sexy teenage girls with giant racks and fetishes for younger boys. They attempted, and accomplished well to have a good amount of action and shounen aspects which I found the most blatant factor of why this anime w…

First of all I have to say this, this series is really underrated!
It should be at minimum #500, and not #1794.
The story is pretty exciting, you wont get bored for sure.
Its actually about a Pandora girl "el Bridget, Satellizer" who doesn't want to be touched by anyone because of the trauma she had in her past. But then she gets to see a boy called "Aoi, Kazuya". She starts to get feelings for Kazuya and let him touch her body, normally she nearly killed people who touched her. After that Kazuya wants to be her Limiter but she is too shy to accept and confront Kazuya, that's actually how the story starts...
So every Pandora girl has an Limiter, except for Satellizer due to her trauma. Normally to fight the enemy Nova, the girls need Limiters who can Freeze the enemy movement. That is on…

I'll be completely honest here; I'm utterly and completely biased in favor of this series. Ever since I've seen the first episode, I fell in love. The series has some amazing characters, with unique traits, fears, dreams and aspirations that made the characters easily lovable and connectable. The series also includes some great humorous scenes and acts, some great romance sub-plots and plenty of action.
A little warning though, despite all the said above in favor of the series, the series' storyline tends to get somewhat confusing if you don't pay enough attention to the details, and there's some new and nifty terminology to it that you must pick up early, or you'll miss a lot.

Despite being a female, Ecchi and fanservice are two things I don't mind in my anime. That is, if it is done in moderation and is not acting as the crutch of the series. Unfortunately, Freezing is one of those anime, one that rides on its fanservice.
Now for an ecchi/ harem anime, we shouldn't come in with high expectations that you're going to get amazing, dynamic characters, a killer story-line, and perfect pacing. 90% of the time you're going to get the exact opposite. Well I came in with my expectations low and by the end of Freezing I had that feeling I hate having when I finish a show: The fact that I just watched something that was either really bad or only decent, when the show could have been so much more.
Story: See, this disappointment mostly came from the story. Its not your…

I think it goes without saying that the ecchi genre has a reputation for putting out shows that are of a lower caliber. The reason the Anime are associated with being such a low caliber comes from the fact that most of the ecchi genre places what possibly amounts to to much emphasis on the fan service. That doesn't mean though, there aren't shows in the ecchi genre that actually have quality to them.
Freezing, despite sharing similar attributes to Claymore, happens to be one of those Anime that stands out as having quality to the storyline despite being of the ecchi genre. Sure, the series has plenty of fan service, but none of it is forced and every shot is actually believable within the context of the story. There is no pushing “the willing suspense of disbelief for this story.” Every s…

***THIS IS A POORLY COPIED VERSION OF CLAYMORE'S BASIC PLOT***
The WHOLE DAMN PLOT is copied. Anyone who has seen Claymore can EASILY see this. The ppl behind this copied everything down, even at some points, to character personalities!
So im not going to go in a lot of detail since its easy to see the flaming obvious plagiarism.
Let me break it down.
Main plot that was copied:
Nova = Youma Pandora mode = Yoki release mode
Main heroin got her power the same way
An organization doing experiments to create warriors
only females can become warriors thru implants
Copied characters/personalities:
No. 2, elizabeth mably of Year 3 = No. 2, Irene, from 77th claymore generation
No. 1, Chiffon "The Unmatched Smiling Monster" Fairchild = No. 1 of the 77th generation Teresa of the Faint Smile (…

'Freezing' is an anime that people will approach from several different angles. There are the people that will be watching for the outrageous fight scenes, and others will watch for the ample fan service. What surprised me at the conclusion of the show was that I thought back on the series as, first and formost, a futuristic apocalyptic tale in the same realm of subject matter as Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is a return to the subjects of a show that created a surge of more adult-themed stories and content in anime. Every rose has its thorns, as the show itself says, so let's delve into the components of 'Freezing.'
Story: I will try not to give away the best bits! Basically, the story revolves around a highschool-aged group of female superstrong Genetics soldiers and their slightly younge…

Freezing is a true embodiment of what makes shounen, well shounen. A butt load of action, and a lot of naked butts to go with it. Of course, that is a very simplistic and 'large in identity' assumption of me, but that is the type of eye candy we usually get. I have to say, despite my open distaste for fanservice, I have to admit that Freezing is pretty good at hitting the sweet tooth it aims for.
There are a lot of things that work against this show; firstly the plot is very slow and somewhat shallow as every girl, in this academy pandora, decide they want to pick a fight with Satella. Despite it being faithful to the manga, the ending arc which has actual relevance to the setting seems as if they just wanted to have some actual plot. While it is nice it has a lot of action, this is what…

*Fan-service aside, this anime did a great job at adapting the manga material.*
It breaks my heart to see such horrible overall ratings and reviews on this anime that, for all intents and purposes, was fairly accurate and stayed faithful to the manga if one were to ignore the anime original contents (eg. mostly fan service and one useless episode). While it is fair to say there are multiple flaws in the anime series that could have been improved on (or unnecessary contents that could have been done without), the anime as a whole has served itself quite nicely considering it is only a one-cour series. Covering nearly 60% of the available manga materials at the time the anime finished airing, there really isn’t any way for the production staffs to wrap up the story without ruining any chanc…

I freely admit that I have a guilty pleasure when it comes to silly ecchi action anime just like Freezing. So initially at least I was quite intrigued with this series and for the first few episodes I was amused. However that amusement soon waned as it was buried under it's dozens of characters, inane nonsensical plot, and confusing terminology and technobabble.
The premise for Freezing seems like it might have had an enormous amount of potential. Mysterious entities called Nova are invading earth intent on wiping out mankind. All that stands in their way are special soldiers known as Pandora and their Limiter partners. Our setting is a school/laboratory called West Genetics which trains future Pandora and their Limiters. This is where that potential I was speaking of starts to get lost.…
