This is the most overrated manga.
WARNING: Extremely LONG "review" / (99.9% BAD) rants. SPOILERS.
When I read the first chapter, I already appalled by how boring it is. But as the review are mostly positive, so I pushed myself to finish this. And I should know already from my first instict that this manga is too OVERRATED! Is it because the mangaka famous for something so people praise this idiotic manga? Honestly, I even never heard any of his manga.
Too many unimportant dialogues, unfunny jokes (I just find only one funny joke: Noko wants to mark Yuuhi's room), idiotic reasoning, idiotic boring battle scenes, idiotic characters, unrelateable characters, idiotic plot, plot holes everywhere, ugly arts with perky sagging breasts, extremely IDIOTIC mc. Man, I despise Yuuhi, even his past is stupid just like him and the mangaka.
His grandpa abuses him with idiotic reasons and honestly, I don't see or even think with LOGIC what his grandpa did is OK. I mean, you tell your grandson not to make enemies or friends, then if he disobeys you, you chain him up and put him into a warehouse? How this is OK? And when the grandpa is too old and almost die, he accepts his own family and changes for only half month or so? So, he didn't accept it before or what? How an old fart changes his opinion so quick?? How is it OK not to make friends or enemies? You want him to die alone? And after 10 years of getting the abuse, Yuuhi wants to him to be cured (he wishes from Noi). So, I should feel bad for Yuuhi because he actually cares for his abusive grandpa? I don't.... HMMMMM!! I can't describe all this idiotic plot. There's no child service in Japan? How about his aunt? Nobody care for him? Should I even need to care about Yuuhi if he doesn't even care about anything? He's selfish conceited jack*ss who is weak, lame and whinny. AND A PEDO! And what is worse? Anima and Sami look at him like he’s a hero. He’s the one who doesn’t go to fight the Animus when the knights are struggling. He just watching from the space. The hell…
If Yuuhi is a real person, he needs to be in jail for loving an underage teenage. Also, the mangaka should be in jail too for giving us many panties shot of the idiotic UNDERAGE princess. Yuuhi also opens the door naked and Sami looks at his junk. You think this is funny? Cheap idiotic unfunny joke! And was that supposed to be funny to see Nagumo's partner: Hiwatari to get a nose bleed when she sees a boy with shortpants? She even drooling over a boy photo. You are sick in mind, Mizukami Satoshi! I mean, lewd joke is funny, but this is not appropriate, this is like what? All age manga? The drawing is shitty enough to be called a decent manga, yet to input such lame pedophiliac joke, especially when 10th golem turned into Mari, the mage just lifts up her skirt to see the panty, do you think this is funny????? And when Yuuhi lift up Yaako’s skirt when fight, are you even a man, Yuuhi?? No normal man will do such a thing to woman, especially when the woman has feelings for you!!
I read like 6 volumes but there's nothing happened except: New golem comes, defe
ated, taliking, new golem comes, defeated, more talking, then talking talking talking and talking. Oh, almost forgot to put the ironic unfunny jokes around and some idiotic excuses for miserable pasts so readers can "relate" to them.
After 20-ish chapters, they just have the logic to collect all the knight to defeat the golems and mage. I was thinking that you guys should do it in chapter 1 already. And poof! Just about 2 chapters, all knights gathered around. Oh God... At least, make some adventure of it, like searching for a knight but the knight is too stuborn or any bs so people can feel symphtize of them. Of all knight, I maybe kinda like Shea Moon and Yaako and Inatika Akitani and Zan Amaru only. Oh, and Ludo because he's a dog and funny, though he looks more like sewer rat because of how bad the mangaka's drawing is. Hmmm.... in fact, all the beasts are better than the humans. The beasts have more personalities than the shitty human characters, example: Lee, the Rooster is great, yelling like a rooster, that's what he is. Even the crow who never talk for like eternity has more personality than the humans. Also, do I need to feel sad or bad for them just because a guy who the readers know for about 4-5 chapters died in such idiotic way? Should I maybe, perhaps, cry with the other characters? I don't feel anything when that Hangetsu guy died. And there, people said he's extremely powerful, but died just like that? Oh, I do feel a little sad because LUDO, THE DOG died too (I love dogs), but it's because the dog, not the human. I never take any sad feeling or pity towards the knights who die in battle. Well, I do feel a SUPER EXTREMLY LITTLE sad at the sworfish knight. Why? Because I know what he's been through from his very young age. Though it's only 2 chapters, but at least, his past is not idiotic one like Yuuhi's. And why Master has that abililty? You need to explore it, lazy mangaka. Don’t just give us “Well, they are Esper user, so they are immortal being” CRAP. Just like you did to Anima and Animus. Animus think he’s THE God, because he has Esper power, the earth is too big and populated for you two to be the only Esper user, sweety. I know that you are stupid and immortal, but your stupidity is too idiotic. The sensei only say one thing and you make it to another thing. You know who is immortal and stupid but everybody still likes him? Sephiroth from FF7! Why people drooling over him? Because we know him! We see how he becomes a derange mofo and how he loathed the earth. We know how he’s stupid thinking that Jenova is his mom, so he carries his “mom” desire with him. But with Animus? Huh???? I don’t see anything except a plot trigger. You know who also a derange psychopath? Kefka. Honestly mangaka, play more RPG, you will know how to write a better villain.
Near the end, we learn about Anima and Animus' past for ONE chapter (chapter 54). Animus is a psychopath already. He killed a lot of people in space shuttle or something? Which no one can relatable. EVEN psychopaths themselves! What makes him a psychopath? Why they have this ESP power? Do their parents have it? Why does Anima need other people to help, but Animus doesn't? (Except for the sake that there will be human knights, so for the sake for this manga being created) Oh, btw, their ancestral thingy is messed up and it’s one of the biggest plot holes in the manga. Another plot hole: Shouldn’t there 4 mystical beasts? But why only 3 shown? Anima is a hypocrite too, “don’t want to use humans as pawns”, well, seems like you are the one who use them as pawns. Animus destroyed them in one hit, but Anima use them like pawns. Poor Hangetsu, Master and Tarou, they are pawns for the “good side”.
BTW, time paradox is real. Use some logic, pedo mangaka, if you kill your ancestor in the past, you will never have been born. Who will create you inside her belly? You probably will be born as a dog if your ancestors died. You are too freaking lazy as an author. WTF is “you wouldn’t understand even if I explained. That’s just how fate flowed” BS you give us from Anima’s mouth? Just say that you are too lazy to explain or maybe mangaka is too confuse by his own creation.
Originally, I want to give this manga 3/10, but I will reduce it to 1/10 stars because of what Sami wishes for. She wants to destroy the earth because of her illness. She loves the earth, but because of her sickness, she needs to destroy it. I was appalled by this cheap reason. Many people with health problem too, selfish dipshit brat! Some even crueler than yours, and they still keep fighting till the end. They don’t desire the world to be destroyed, instead they pray so there’s no one need to go through this circumstance. And what worse? Sami should wish for her health or a cure. Come on! She's a kid, but a kid should be smart too, mangaka.
To tell you the truth, I cry a little tiny bit when the beasts go home with Anima. I can relate to that, because I have pets (read: FAMILY). They’ve been with me for a long time, then suddenly they need to go to the rainbow bridge because of old ages. In other word, they say their farewell to me, same like the beasts and their knights. Only this is a redeeming point of this manga. Then, like someone who doesn’t want his gold mine ended, mangaka make a veryyyyyyyy draggy ending. Jesus, just ends it already. It makes the ending where the beasts say their farewell seems nothing because of this dragging ending.
The mangaka wants to proof how knowledgeable he is but failed to prove to the audince that actually it is a "knowledge". Ten volumes for wishi-washi chat without doing nothing? Even the Mage aka the final boss is flying around here and there. How lazy you could it be? Oh yeah, naming an ultimate weapon a BISCUIT HAMMER is already lazy enough! Oh, btw, mangaka, which part is the Lucifer now? Lucifer is the princess? Do you really know who Lucifer is?
Mangaka should do comical animal mangas like Hamtaro, instead pretend to be serious about this bs manga. I like how Noi and the beasts react to each other, more than to see the humans doing unnecessary boring shits. Why even put beasts on them if the beasts themselves NEVER fight? Also, a terrible (unrelatable) past is NOT a way to make people sympathize the characters. Seeing them struggling while trying to achieve their goals are more relatable than bs past where they get abuse because of stupid reasons. And do you think making most of the characters with psychopath behavior is a good manga? Mangaka should learn from Death Note if he wants to make real psychopath. Like that Hanako, praying mantis knight, she wants a bad person die. If I have one wish, maybe I will wish for peace in mind for everyone in this word, instead wanting people die. You can't abolish badness with just killing one people, that’s a psychopathic behavior.
I don't get it, why do people give so high ratings? I mean, it's not that bad, but it's not very good either. It's below BELOW so-so. Defend this all you want, I just find this boring, why I keep reading then? I don't want to judge something that I never read till the end. Besides, it's only 10 volumes.
If I want to nitpick every single chapters on this idiotic manga, it’ll be like 100 pages of a report.
Overall:1/10
