Power Stone (パワーストーン) is a good example of an awesome Fighting video game on the Sega Dreamcast transitioned well into an Anime adaptation. Since this fighting game was released on a console that did not sell well, it's understandable why this gem from the past has mostly faded into obscurity for the English speaking world and Japan too. If you're a person like me who is lucky enough to have experienced playing Power Stone, you will definitely appreciate what this anime has to offer. Let's Start with the Story: (7/10) The Story of Power Stone is very interesting to say the least. We see this man namedEdward Falcon from Britain who receives a gift from his long lost (and somewhat rude) father and now Edward must go on this massive Adventure all over the Power Stone world to stop the Evil Organization. Along the way, Edward meets other friends like Ryoma the Samurai, Ayame the Kunoichi, and Wang-Tang the Warrior! Most of the time, Each Episode ends with one of the main Characters using there Power Stone abilities. While I think the story is considered Repetitive or Annoying, I think this show does a pretty good job for the story and throughout the 26 total Episodes, there are many enjoyable ones out there! For me as a "G-Rated" Anime, (I am 16-years old as I am writing this) I'm not calling it the best plot ever, but I do believe the show generally carries a good anime if you want to waste your time.

Now It's time for the Characters (9/10)

These are not the best Characters I have seen in an Anime! Far from it, but for it's job, It's very well done. Almost every single (If not every) Character from the Power Stone game on Dreamcast is here! We have Edward Falcon who starts a bit like a jerk in the Beginning but becomes a true hero, we have the Samurai Ryoma who's backstory is kinda like Zoro's Backstory in One Piece with continuous Training hoping to be the very best. Then we got Ayame the Kunoichi who is personally my favorite Character Design wise. SHE IS JUST SO CUTE! The other Characters being Jack, Galuda, Wang-Tang, Rouge and the others are also very good in their own ways.

Now for Animation and Enjoyment (8/10)

Since this anime came out in 1999 in Japan, some people would call the Animation 'old'. But as a fan of Power Stone on the Dreamcast, I think the Animation fits them quite well and they lived up to what I expected in a Game-based Anime. I love the English Opening Theme! It's very fire and I highly Recommend listening to it! The Voice Acting is very good too especially the English Dub Voice Actors which most of them come from Canada (My Country). After watching it both in English Dub and Japanese Audio with English Subs, I think the English Voice Actors fits the roles PERFECTLY and truly reflect to the character's Personalities. If you are looking for an anime with a good English dub, Power Stone does not Disappoint here.

As a Show reflecting on Adventure, Connections, and Stunning Transformations, as well as being a Tribute to an Underrated and Excellent game on a lesser-known Video Game Console (The Dreamcast), Power Stone is a perfect Anime for those who had Nostalgia with this show and for those who are being introduced to Power Stone for the First Time! If you have never played the Power Stone games, I highly Recommend you do and it's never too late to get Started.
