Not in it's subject matter or characterization, but in judging it.
ES is a introspective thriller on the nature of humans and despite its great care in sculpturing the characters, none of their questions seem to be answered satisfyingly as they are killed before they ever gain anything. The abrupt demise of the characters before their salvation is rather startling considering how close they were to a satisfying conclusion.
Yet their deaths don't add any characterizations to the remaining, instead one feels cheated by the author who could have done more with the plot. I'm not advocating for a necessary good end without deaths however I'm sad that characters that were built so strongly got discarded so haphazardly in a ending that could have been so much more.

| So sad by John21 on December 16th, 2009, 1:12am |

Spoiler (highlight to view) Man dis manga is deep. The mangaka really put a lot of thought in it. However i don't really like tragedy dat much so after reading dis one fet pretty damn sad. Nobody was saved. even the kid died. The most useless character eva Sakaki survived, and I just wish the female character was stronger. Ending shud have been happier but still it was k i guess. Art is amazing, and story iss really thought provoking |

This manga has an original premise and interesting storyline. It works in a lot of deep emotions like love, pain, and guilt. It also brings up a lot of questions about the value of life.
However, it never really answered those questions. I'm not sure if the series was prematurely canceled but instead of the villain slowly finding the answers and becoming a normal human, the story just forced a quick ending.
Overall, this manga is definitely worth a read if you like psychological stories that aren't too deep.

Even though I enjoyed this story, it, kind of, wasn't enough. Well, it wasn't too melodramatic, gotta thank for that. But I feel like magaka should've kept rythm of the story as it was, and didn't hurry to end it all in the last volume. I don't know, I 'm not a writer, but cooking up the story took time, and everything had to end in a blink of an eye?
Good manga, but I don't think I'll be interested in reading it again.

A very good manga. The ending was a bit too predictable, and I didn´t like it much, but the story was very interesting, and with a small number of cliches, which is a very good thing. All in all, a 9, mostly because of the ending.

| A compeling story by lozanogo on May 15th, 2009, 3:01am |

Overall I liked a lo the manga since it explores some aspects of human nature in a very twisted way. So the story is good as well as the plot development. The only drawback is that I did not like the drawing style... seemed a little weird for me, but that is just personal taste.

| Great complex story by chulian1819 on April 10th, 2009, 10:12am |

A bit of love, lots of psychological and sporadic intense action YE!AH!
the bits of love (and scenes) where pint point missile gide action is d acurate mature love, this i liked a lot
The action is sometimes gore like realistic, intense and short, great mental fights
The art just GGGGGGGGGRRRRREAT the menta ilusions superb!! what a great imaginaiton of the mangaka.
The story very complex and u have to think a lot, love how the mangaka digs on hte scharactercs minds and u find out why they are who they are.
The ending, just magnificent, a great way to close a wonderfull story
I didnt give it a 10 because of a bit pull-push excess at the ending but for th rest MARVELOUS STORY MUST READ!

Eternal Sabbath was a good manga. I liked the plot and the idea, but many things could have been improved.
For one, I absolutely despised Mine Kujyou and Sakkaki. Both of them are extremely rash and idiotic in their approach to things. While Mine is SUPPOSED to be very analytical and observant; in truth, she never thinks through any of her actions and causes a lot of unnecessary consequences and deaths. Like she has said herself, she "really cannot do anything right", and often exacerbates a situation. While her intentions are good, she really needs to think through her actions and their ramifications. She is also very ugly. I do not know why the mangaka gave her this ugly, middle age hair cut.
I believe the manga would have been better if there had been a stronger female character and the approach to resolve the conflict was smarter. There was none of the "outsmarting" the enemy but just pure ESP and violence used to "win" a battle. All in all, it was a good manga but definitely nothing stellar.

| In my opinion this manga could turn into a movie. It has a unique plot that just grabs you in. It also has plenty of psychology which makes you understand the characters more. As for the ending, it shocked me. I know it may be a cliche to some, but I never read another manga that has an ending like that. Overall, people should read it. |
