Now I have read so many different options on this anime and people seem to love it or trash it. In my option many people go in thinking its gonna be one thing when its not. the story's not really apocalyptic as in zombies and monsters but as in a modern day dystopia. The manga is also pretty every on the si-fi close to where the anime ends.
The problem I see people talk about with Coppelion the most is it's pacing. The first 3-5 episodes focuses are single stories to help create world building and I can understand how you go from that to the main plot and feel kinda weird. But its not as bad as other popular anime's (Tokyo ghoul not a bad show but the pacing for the first season is weird) Now the other problem I find with the show is the 3 main female characters. Aoi is especially I under…

When I read the other reviews for Copellion, I thought this might be bad, but it was actually the opposite.
Story is great, I can't give any other info on that. Too important to spoil.
Art was amazing, but the fact that the characters kinda stand out in comparison to the scenery was a bit of an issue that kept catching my attention.
Sound was wonderful, and the SFX was nice.
Characters were nice, wish they could've elaborated more on the girl's backstories, but I'm content. Enjoyed this enough to give it a 9, don't let the other reviews discourage you.
Overall, a definite 10.

At this point Go Hands has lost all credibility as a new animation studio. They have amazing production values to offer a level of eye candy very few are capable of, and they are always wasting it on subpar titles that offer nothing besides cool premises and lots of fan service (Seitokai Yakuindomo, Mardock Scramble, K Project). Their latest work of bad art is this Coppelion, which is about some schoolgirls looking for survivors in a radioactive area of Japan. Many were mesmerized by the very good animation and artwork, which was creating a most creepy post-apocalyptic setting and thought it would be a very mature and thought-provoking series.
Me? Just looking at the premise I knew right away it will be a big failure. I mean, SCHOOLGIRLS IN THE ROLE OF RESCUE RANGERS! How much more obviou…

Oh yes!!!!!!! This is outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (to me)
This Anime gave me the feels! The OP and ED gave me the feels, and was great!
I loved the art, it is so nice! I loved the story, and the characters a lot! I imagine myself in this Anime, and I was one of those made people, and I just went out and go to the contaminated place without permission hehehehehhe
I have no dislikes about this Anime, and still wish for a second season! There is enough material for a second season, I believe. But, I guess this didn't got much attention, which is sad.
I recommend this a lot! It's so Beautiful!

Coppelion was a science fiction manga written by Inoue Tomonori from 2008 to the beginning of this year. In late 2013, before the manga had actually ended, there was an anime adaptation by GoHands. Now, I've never seen a GoHands anime before, so all I know about Coppelion is what I heard from the young lady who requested that I review it. She called it “hilariously bad.” I don't know if that's going to sum up my own feelings on it. So, let's take a look and see if it is, indeed, hilariously bad.
Story:
After a nuclear accident, Tokyo's been left a smouldering wreck. Twenty years after the incident, a group of students, genetically engineered to resist radiation, are sent into the ruins to find survivors and clean the area. These students are the titular Coppelion.
Let's begin by talking…

I really wanted to like Coppelion, storywise it had a lot of potential, but an onslaught of problems coming from the direction, the writing, the pacing, and the animation from the anime itself really held it back from being anything but "...eh.."
Coppelion is directed by Shingo Suzuki. It's about three high school students who are genetically altered to be immune to radioactivity in Tokyo after it's contaminated by a nuclear accident. The Coppelion are sent in by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force to rescue the people still living in the city after a distress signal from inside Tokyo is received.
The anime started off strong with nice backgrounds, nice colors and a really nice setting... that is until we see the characters. The characters themselves don't mesh well with the background…

Coppelion was part of my summer anime viewing a couple years ago. Alongside BlazBlue: Alter Memory and Kill la KIll I can't quite recall right now, it really had potential to go places in 13 episodes. Unfortunately, it stumbled by episode 3 and crashed before episode 7. What followed were the charred remains scratching and clawing out of the wreckage that was its plot and begging to be put out of its misery. Is the manga better? Unfortunately, I couldn't be bothered after this botched attempt.
Starting where it should be saving itself, the sound is... Meh. The only memorable part of the series was the op despite it having a few okay tracks. You don't feel anything except sheer boredom when watching and the music doesn't alleviate this. Part of what makes an anime work is the musical score…

In this post-apocalyptic nuclear melt own scenario there are bunch of special kids who are resistant to any amount of radiation. They are made to help and rescue people (anyone who is still alive) in this radiation contaminated area. How these kids feel and how they work to save people forms the story. Now the plot is not bad initially but it does not develop from there. Characters are not at all developed from the first to the last episode. It seems they have some issue with them, all these special kids i.e., Coppelions, but its never told out. Only one thing is revealed. The main dissatisfaction is the incompleteness of the story. Even when the series finishes in the thirteenth episode you see that the story has not progressed even an inch from the first episode.
Story: 3/10
Art: 8/10…

Coppelion can be summed up as disappointing.
This is because it has an alluring premise: a derelict city scarred by nuclear disaster, overrun by wilderness with a few human survivors scattered about. There's plenty interesting about a setting like this, and Go Hands does such a great job on the scenery porn that I am currently using a rotating cycle of background shots from the show as my wallpaper.
Unfortunately the characters who populate that setting are not interesting, nor is anything they do. The writing for this show is crap, plain and simple. Setting aside the issue of the Coppelion being teenage girls (standard anime conceit), the whole Coppelion project seems half-assed and directionless with no clear goals despite the apparently huge amount of time and money spent on developi…

Coppelion follows the rescue unit on their journey through post apocalyptic Tokyo. Are main characters are Ibara Naruse, Aoi Fukasaku and Taeko Nomura. These three girls are not exactly ordinary as they are artificial clones created to withstand massive doses of nuclear radiation and they possess their own special perks such as speed, super strength and even the ability to create electricity. Ibara has super strength, enhanced athletic abilities and she’s very accurate with a gun. (Though rarely uses it to harm others) Aoi… Can’t do a thing as she has no special perks or abilities and I just presumed that she was a prototype until latter episodes. Finally we have Taeko who has heightened senses such as eyesight and hearing and has the ability to communicate with animals. The rescue unit’s…

So I first heard about Coppelion through Kotaku's anime preview list, and the premise intrigued me. Then, as the series went on, on CrunchyRoll there were a lot of people who thought this was one the most disappointing anime they've ever seen, and how it's pretty darn bad. Note: I have never read the original manga material, so I do not know how the anime compares to that, so I'll be reviewing the anime on its own.
Well, I disagree. First, let's talk about the goods.
1) The artwork and style is truly fantastic. The characters pop, details are easily visualized on screen, and it has that grey-ish filter that makes everything look post-apocalyptic. When we get to a change of green scenery, the viewer can definitely see a drastic difference between what's been damaged by the nuclear incident…

Alright so I haven't read manga so I can't compare it . But Coppelion for me had a beautiful idea. The main characters were girls which were saving people around the world. What was the problem? They weren't human. I really enjoyed watching how their characters were growing. This anime showed me beautiful power of friendship and also that it is possible to do anything if you want to. I'm not a big fan of this genre but Coppelion really made me cry.

After watching the first episode of this series, i had high hopes for it, it looked promising and like it would be good. By the end of it, it was like seeing an attractive person and liking them until they open their mouth and start talking. In my opinion, this anime had a lot of potential to be good but a few plot holes and the characters ruined it. Dont get me wrong, while i may complain about it, im generous in the rating because certain people can watch this and enjoy it to some extent. It isnt bad if you can get over some details and focus on the events.
Plot: 6/10
The plot of the story is original and good. Three genetically engineered girls go into the wasteland known as the old capital to find survivors and help them. I would find it hard to argue that this isnt somewhat interesti…

The post-apocalyptic genre has been quite popular due to new mediums pulling their spin. So very few manage to do the genre justice with how vast the genre generally has to go for it, and most writers don’t have the most competence to write out a competent narrative. Whether or not they are about a nuclear holocaust, zombie invasion, ecological disaster, divine judgment, or pandemic reasons, there are so many possibilities for story writers to come up with brilliant ideas for the genre with some great results and ones that are not so great. Our little anime Coppelion falls into this category that fails to provide a meaningful narrative and a dull melodramatic story that severely cripples it from being an intricate show during Japan’s nuclear fallout disaster into one that completely mocks…

Coppelion follows a group of high school age girls, known by the same name as the title, as they wander around the abandoned and contaminated former capital of Japan, Tokyo. After an accident several decades ago caused the entire city to be filled with radiation and become unfit for human life, a project was started to create genetically enhanced humans who could survive in the toxic conditions.
The story of the anime follows about a handful of arcs ranging from around one to five episodes each. The arcs all involve the protagonists meeting some stranded people they have to save them by protecting them until a helicopter can arrive (which always seems to come as late as possible). The people who manage to survive have special hazmat suits that can keep out radiation to a certain extent, b…

Coppelion is what I would describe as a beautiful anime gone straight to hell. I’m not referring to the artwork here because that’s glamorous. What originally started out as an alluring premise with promise turned into an abomination that becomes almost intolerable to watch thanks to its style and overall portrayal of the post-apocalyptic genre. This anime itself is an apocalyptic failure that illustrates just how not to adapt its manga. Not that the manga is any better but Coppelion comes to me as a show that should of never been resurrected.
The series itself is based off of the manga of the same name written by Tomonori Inoue. The term “Coppelion” refers to an unit of trained specialists with special abilities that tries to find survivors after a faithful event that happened in the yea…

I am back for another review on the anime Coppelion. And what do I think of it? It wasn't that good.
STORY (3):
The story takes place in an abandoned city near Odaibi nuclear power plant when there was a nuclear explosion and the 3 girls who call themselves Coppelion, have their duty to evacuate the remaining survivors of the abandoned city. Coppelion is a team of students who are trained to perform different tasks and they are immune to radiation.
Now, I was looking forward to the post-traumatic anime both perspectives, but sadly I was let down by the careless writing and plot holes. Also not to mention annoying characters.
I will list down all the technical problems that this anime is suffering from.
Technical problem #1:
B2 bomber is a Black Crow. The writers really think that B2 B…

Ok, so another anime has ended, somehow I get the feeling that the writer of this anime's manga version, Tomonori Inoue seems to be a clairvoyant, though the Fukushima nuclear disaster did happen 3 years since the writer conceptualize the possibility of where the scenarios were similar, except of course in his version the nuke contamination was widespread that it covers the so called old capital, while the one that happen in Fukushima Prefecture was only limited in its area. But, anyways, I still give this anime a benefit of a doubt, surly there is something in this anime that basically annoys me, so leave it to them Japanese to think of something possible and make a lot fancy, co'z frankly this anime has a lot of fancy in it. So I hereby present my ratings for this anime:
Story- good 7.…

Coppelion is an anime about a girl crying, more crying, getting kidnapped, even more crying and then later break down and do nothing.
Seriously! All is there to the anime is hearing some lame ass character whine and bitch about everything.
Besides having a girl who cry throughout the whole anime, the action scenes are all replaced by a single art showing either the characters getting punched in the face or jumping.
To sum it up, It's Shit.

Coppelion is an anime about these radiation immune Charlie's Angels who cry all the time and whatnot.
It's a melodramatic sci-fi story about these girls who won't die on radiation unlike all the other people in the world. These people are of course saints, and we get to see missions where our three radiation immune saints save people from radiation while crying. By three radiation immune saints saving people, I mean our main girl, Ibarawhatever, saving people while the other two watch. Alternatively watch and cry.
The character are pretty useless and stupid and for some reason there is three of them instead of one. There was a seemingly interesting settings; normal people getting saved by radiation immune people. The catch being that normal people don't think these immune people as peo…
