WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

ai_no_kareshi The creators of Final Fantasy: Unlimited made only one mistake, in my opinion, and that is not completing the all 52 episodes.I must say that it is laughable that, when people hear "Final Fantasy", they expect to see characters from the games. Every installment of the Final Fantasy game series has its own unique plot and characters, and so does the anime series. FF:U does feature all the usuals – including chocobos, moogles and summon creatures – although it doesn't need these elements to make it a great series.Although the series starts slowly and falls into something of a monster-of-the-day pattern early on, its every character is given special attention and will never cease to entertain you (especially Ai). Every episode packs its fair share of drama, comedy and action. As another reviewer has commented before me, it is when you get to the later episodes that you realize how great FF:U actually was. The plot is imaginative and detailed, and the further you advance into the story, the more exciting it becomes.It is a shame that FF:U was cut down to 25 episodes, as this stands even more true for the rest of the story that was never told. I speak as one who has read the Japanese books in which the untold parts of the story have been published when I say that the best was yet to come. I think no one has the right to bash Final Fantasy: Unlimited until they know the whole story. Unfortunately, it does not seem as if an English adaption of the After series will ever be made.Still, though FF:U might not be for everyone, anyone who is willing to watch this series with an open mind is likely to find himself pleasantly surprised.

andreasvillarreal Although the lines of the characters are awful most of the time (kuroi kaze is so full of himself!!), I must say that some of the characters are unforgettable, for instance Earl Tyrant, the death lords of Gaudium and, of course, Makenshi. But, what truly makes FFU a great anime is the soundtrack. The music is sumptuous and sometimes epic (the theme illustrating Makenshi's fighting scenes is truly incredible) and also provides some comic relief or accompanies battle scenes, for instance the one where Kaze loads the Demon Gun, with fast-stripped beats. Honestly, it is the main reason for the high grade that I am giving to the show because, in my point of view, the action is too repetitive and the same scenes are reused far too much. Despite that, I think the fans will be delighted to discover that an anime has managed to recreate the unique atmosphere of Final Fantasy.

BalineseKittyn What do you get when you mix a pair of fraternal twins, a magical subway train, a girl with control over most types of energy, a man with a mystical gun, a puppet-master, and a chocobo with a taste for human hair? FINAL FANTASY UNLIMITED!!!A cute show, and if you're a big fan of Final Fantasy you'll either love it or be saying "WTF?" by the end of the first episode. Fans of the game series will also recognize several things within the show (chocobos, sylkis greens, malboros, summons) that come straight from the games.The story itself is rather simple: twins Ai and Yu Hayakawa have lost their mother and father. They own a book written by their dad which tells of a mystical land that you can only reach by riding a magical train at a certain time. As they begin to explore, they meet Lisa Pacifist, a young woman who uses a type of martial arts to control energy; and Kuroki Kaze (translated: Black Wind), a man with very little recollection of his past, an ability to die and reappear in the oddest places, and a very large gun.i rate this anime a 7/10. Love it or hate it, you can't deny it's fun.

nzilla I am an otaku and a fan of the Final Fantasy games. I liked the Final Fantasy movie, but hated the old OVA series. This is in many ways worse than the old series. From the begining this series looks like it might be a somewhat decent and entertaining fantasy, but after a few episodes you will see that this is not much better than Pokemon. The digital cell animation is cutesy and digital-looking. The 3D is blocky and out of place; much worse than the awful 3D in Candidate for Goddess. The characters are one-dimensional, whiney, and annoying. The voice acting, while pretty good, isn't anything particularly special. The story is cliched, much more "like a videogame" than the video games. Deffinately geared towards children. The only redeeming qualities are some surreal landscapes and semi-interesting homages to the games. 3/10
