Battle Athletes Victory ReSTART! · review
The words to describe this anime is mediocre and messed up. First of all, am I the only one who noticed the very Cardcaptor Sakura like sequence in the OP? The running and wings and flying? And second, this is seriously reminding me of Kanata no Astra. The storyline is confused. Not confusing, CONFUSED. They took the time to put in some major issues, conflict and even all powerful villains, but it's as if they didn't know what to really persue, so they put in a bit of everything, which would wonderfully be solved by the power of FRIENDSHIP. UGH. I'm not saying I don't like friendship. I'm sayingthat Kanata (yes her name is Kanata - AGAIN, Kanata no Astra) is this horribly sunny character with no darkness at all in her. I mean we see the mould all the time - Naruto, Natsu,Emilico - but they work because they have depth and darkness. This girl....by GOD, her only job is to be a goof, be universally loved and save the world. its so sunny it makes you kinda sick of it.
And the whole Cosmo Beauty thing. It had SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! They gave like a 2 minute explanation and that was that!!! Damn that could have redeemed the entire anime. Anything could have redeemed the anime if it had stuck to it, actually.
If you're planning on watching this, go ahead. If you're unsure, give it a miss.There are better stuff out there.
