Review of Big Order (TV)
Ah Big Order...An anime I didn't even knew existed up until it ended. Really not kidding when I say that. I didn't. Hello people. I'm Josh and today I am reviewing the first half of Big Order, probably the defintion of a spring anime bomb (atleast to most people) Now for those that don't know, Big Order is from the same creator of the ever popular Future Diary. Apparently this was an anticipated anime because of this guys work with Furure Diary but I be lying if I said I was excited. Not because I hate Future Diary. It cause I haven't seen it and I can'thate something I haven't seen. So I really had no high expectations cause I couldn't tell you what Future Diary was even about. Only thing I know is about it is some crazy pink hair chick that is the face of the yandere community. That's all. I couldn't tell you jack sh*t about the story if I tried, the characters even if I wanted to try and so on. But I guess people were excited cause of that.
Anyway on to the review
Story- It interesting. Like I said I had no expectations for it because I didn't know it even existed until it was a thing. But anyway the story is about Eiji, a guy that gives Kirito and Saitama a run for their money in the OP department. He along with other people referred with orders made a wish and his wish was to rule the world. This resulted in the world getting destroyed and the Orders being viewed as villans and major threats.
All I can say it is interesting, but the pace is awful. It just feels extremely rushed and I am just bored watching it. I came in with average expectations since I didn't know what I was stepping into really. They major issues with this are the timing and the pacing. The fact it is only 10 episodes doesn't really help it either. If things were explained better and the timing was so god awful in this anime, this would probably be one of the OK anime of the spring. It would have helped to if the plot made more sense to be honest
Art- The arts pretty good. I got no major complaints with it or anything. Definetly not the best I have seen but certainly not the worst. The fight scenes can be good and the cgi is good to.
Sound- Sound is alright. The OP is good but not something I'd really listen to repeatedly or anything. The ending is...ok to me. I got no major complaints with the voice actors, there fine.
Characters- And the problems lie here. Definetly not enough expalining of things and not enough development for me to even remotely care about. I don't really care about the MC but I don't hate him. He is just that cliche 'Oh if you touch my sister I'll kick your f*cking a** b*tch' and basically some averages guy with some over the top OP power that lets him control pretty much everything and anyone. NotYuno (Guessing that's the crazy pink hair chick that is suppose to be Yuno. Not a hundred percent sure I'm just seeing people repeatedly calling her that so I am guessing it's the pink hair chick from Future Diary???) Is crazy and wants to kill him but can't. And then there are the rest of the supporting cast. Boy do they bore the living day lights out of me. I don't care about any of them. I mean Iyo is alright I guess but the rest I keep barely remembering.
Enjoyment- This just bored me. Arguably the worst anime of the spring I guess with the way people have gone on about it but I don't find it bad. Just extremely boring. It is just not interesting me. At all. If you like it fine, but I just can't get into this.
Overall- This is mediocre at best. To me atleast. The story may be interesting but pacing and timing are bad and it is rushed. The art and sound are alright if not good. The characters are forgettable to me but it isn't as god awful as most people make it out to be, but it really isn't that good. Mediocre at it best. This anime gets a 5/10 from me. I just got bored the entire time but this had potential that just fell flat somehow
