Review of Absolute Duo

A new guy is a school for talented people (X-Men, Harry Potter) has some unique ability amongst his peers. He has to team up with an attractive girl to beat his classmates, schoolmates, a shadowy organization... Does this sound familiar? I described to you three anime series I saw. "Absolute Duo", "The Asterisk War" and "Chivalry of a Failed Knight". If you think it's weird, I'd agree. 20015 and 2016 were when these titles appeared, all with the same basic plot. In the case of "Absolute Duo" where their magical weapons are called Blaze and "Chivalry of a Failed Knight" where people call upon similarabilities are called Blazers, the similarities have seemingly no end! Don't believe me? The main character shares a room with his female partner who by some chance is a beauty from a nonexisting foreign country... in both titles, this exact same thing happens! I have reached the bottom of the creativity barrel with these anime, is how I feel.
So the story is one that I have already seen done and yet I didn't rate it as 2 or anything. Weird. So I do have some good to tell you about this title.
The OP is amazing. It really is. Well, animated, thematic and the music is quite good. Another thing I liked is the 2D animated heroes beating the living shit out of 3D CGI models - felt good after watching 20016's Berserk. Of course, since CGI looks distracting and out of place that positive I mentioned quickly becomes negative, but what can you do?
Honestly, that's it. I don't feel like writing a proper review, just as the creators of the anime didn't feel like making a good show and the writers of the novels didn't feel like being creative. It's good to kill a few minutes, but with a forgettable cast of characters, cliched plot and at most serviceable animation this one's a bust.
