Review of Luck & Logic
Warning possible Spoilers My time watching anime's has certainly made me find some really amazing ones, but there is that point where I do find some really bad or Godawful ones and this is definitely one of them. The story is set on the human world of Septpia and they are being invaded by creatures called Majin's so a boy named Yoshichika Tsurugi and his other Logicalist teammates along with their Goddesses are sent in to handle and stop the threat. Now I've seen these type of stories quite a few times and every time they get less and less enjoyable, this was just a great big boreto get through the only interesting thing I got from this show was how their suits worked which was by using a Goddess from the world the Majin's are from with a logic card and combing them with a human that to me sounded pretty interesting, but the rest of the show was just awful I couldn't get excited at all and I mainly either groaned or shouted when something predictable or cliched happened and you know an anime is bad when it calls out it's own cliches.
It gladly only 12 episodes, but for 12 episodes it certainly dragged on however despite being a bore fest there were some or one element that kept me going well just about.
The characters are possibly the only reason I didn't quit the show because they were at least half-decent well most of them.
The main character Yoshichika is not really a great example of a character and I even watched this in dub and it was surprising to see that he was voiced by Nathan Sharp AKA Natewantstobattle now Nathan's acting wasn't the problem it was Yoshi himself, he was a very bland person and didn't even try to set himself apart from many harem protagonists that I have seen before and funny enough this isn't even a harem so how did the show mess this up.
Then there are the 3 main human female characters Chloe, Mana and Tamaki, now each of these girls had their quirk Chloe was actually pretty likeable from her upbeat and active personality, even Mana was likeable too since she was shy and had a bit of a dark backstory, then there is Tamaki she annoyed the hell out of me I just wanted her to shut up whenever she got into an argument with someone luckily that didn't last the whole series and she was pretty much settled down by the final episodes.
The Godesse's are actually pretty bland since you don't really get to see them do much other than powering the suits the other's have to use and the names of the Godesse's are Atena, Venus, Valkyrie, Altemis and Nemesis there was really nothing to make these characters stand out apart from their appearances and their slight personality differences so they didn't really do much for me.
There is some other supporting characters too like Yukari who felt like the lovable mascot of the team who gets everyone back on their feet and there is also Chief Veronica who is pretty much like every other female chief I have seen in these type of anime's.
Finally there is the villains who are Olga Breakchild who is pretty much a douchebag longing to become a proper Logicalist who of course gets the evil bad guy Lucifer as his Logicalist and both of these guys didn't feel menacing they just felt like an irritation really.
Now the artstyle was poor I didn't like the combination of 2D and 3D when there were battle sequences it just didn't fit and the same can be said for the monsters too they just looked awful and some of them looked like they belonged in Pokemon which felt very weird and wrong.
The action was poor and didn't last very long which to be honest is a good thing since the suits abilities didn't feel incredible compared to many other anime's I've seen that use special powers or magic whichever you class this as plus the suit's themselves didn't look that great either, what also really caught me off guard and actually annoyed me in some way was the surprising amount of fanservice in the anime and it made me think why there wasn't an Ecchi tag hell there was a scene with Tamaki and Atena who are fully nude and they even show Tamaki's bare nips now I like my fanservice, but this just felt wrong and uncomfortable, I could also say the same for the transformations it was like the animators wanted to woo the Yuri and Yaoi fans with the way those transformations went.
Overall this was a poor anime and I wouldn't recommend it unless you are that much of a fan of cute girls in mecha like suits then be my guest, but for those casual viewers avoid this.
