Review of Strike the Blood

What happened? This anime's story started out very strong and kept my interest for at least the first 3 episodes. Around the 5th I started having misgivings about it though. A solid story turned to bland and by the end your only watching the last 2 episodes to say "I Finished It". It feels the ending was rushed out the door, there's some really bad animation sequences in the last 2 episodes, and the timing seemed really "off". Characters appeared from nowhere with neither fanfare or explanation too. It's not until the end you get their introduction and by then it'sfar too late. The story line was just garbled up with no saving in sight.

So if you want to waste your time on this anime then go ahead. While it's not complete rubbish it's also nothing to write home to mom about either. If given the option to do it all again... I'd say "No thank you."
