Review of MÄR
Now before i get started this anime was base on the story and art of Nobuyuki Abzai and was licensed by Viz media and with that in mind i throughly enjoyed this anime it was the first one i watched and even though only (i think) 52...maybe 53 of the episodes are dubbed i did watch untill the end. -ARTWORK- If you know that mar was created by the same person as 'flame of recca" then you may or may not be disappointed with the change of style; i actually liked the change -it's almost chibi but it keeps the same realistic side as flameof recca - i also enjoyed the mix of cgi; such as babbo's transformations.
-STORY- Now i have watched quite a few anime with people being sent in to other worlds but this one does have a certain charm to it- while saying that it can be a little predictable at times.
-SOUND (music and dub)- Now i'am no way a purist; yes i admit, when i have a choice i will always chose dub and because of that i can't really say on how well or bad it was subbed but i did enjoy the dub; it was a little old fashioned in a way that it reminded me of all those anime characters in the 90's with the real high pinched voices (not saying there not still dubbing like that because they are) so it made it have an older feel which may or may not be you cup of tea.
-CHARACTER- What can i say? spiky hair, big boobs and lots of love. the characters are well drawn - typical for an anime but very colour and fun.
-ENJOYMENT- Now i got real enjoyment out of this for whatever reason, it's pretty simple minded just like Ginta; if your watching this because your a fan of the manga i should warn you that the beginning follows pretty close but around the time the dub ends so does the closeness.
-OVERALL- i enjoyed it beginning to end it can make you laugh, think and it can be depressing but a great anime all the same i recommend it.
Happy watching
