Review of Absolute Duo

(Dubbed version) Story (4/10): The story began with great potential, it had glimpses of back story for the main characters, and what seemed like the beginning of a great plot. However it veered away from this and absolute duo became the stereotypical predictable harem/ecchi anime which lacked a good plot and good ending. Art (6/10): Not much to say here, the art itself was okay, nothing exceptional but it wasn't bad.Sound (5/10):

Sound is basically the same story as the art, it was okay, nothing exceptional but it wasn't bad. Absolute Duo had 1 opening song and 3 different songs for the ending.

Character (4/10):

At the beginning each character especially the MC's had great potential to be interesting characters with hidden secrets and different pasts, which I assumed would be explored as the story and plot developed but this was not the case (it did explore to a certain degree) as the story itself was rushed there wasn't really enough time for each character to develop, so by the end of the last episode each character was the same as they were when they first appeared with just more power.

Specific genre overview:

As an ecchi/harem anime it wasn't anything special it was just the standard.

As and action anime it did okay it had its fair share of fight scenes, (with good fluidity) and power developments.

As a supernatural anime I thought it did quite poorly, mainly because of the story however... I say this because I think if the story had more chance to develop it could of been quite interesting, the concept behind the abilities of the characters (blazes) but as the story fell short so did the supernatural element of the anime.

Enjoyment (6/10):

As my expectations were high going into this anime, I was quite disappointed when I was watching it, however it wasn't completely terrible, and it had some redeeming qualities, that kept me watching till then end.

Overall (5/10):

I had high hopes going into the anime so when it fell short it fell really short of my expectations. If your going to watch this anime I would lower your initial expectations, as the anime wasn't unbearable, but I would only watch this anime as pass time if there was nothing else you have to watch or other options.
