Final Fantasy Unlimited
 

Anyone else purchase the fisrt DVD in the box set? i got it a few days ago and watched the first 4 episodes, its pretty good but other than the music and a few characters im having trouble getting a Final Fantasy vibe from it. The animation is great, of course im not much of an anime viewer so i cant compare much. What do you guys think of this first installment of the final fantasy unlimited series?

Hmm never even heard of it.... Time to Google it up. Maybe you could post some info on it?

Yeah please do. My fiance is a FF junky and this might be a good stocking stuffer for her.

It's a terrible series IMO.
It has none of the marks that show up on a true final fantasy work. No good music, no interesting characters, and the episodes follow the exact same boring format everytime. The CG is repetitive and recycled each episode.

If you want to be bored to tears then this series is for you.

Are you talking about that old anime with the girl with the magic ass?

If so it blew chunks.

Never heard of this before but I did find this website. battlemouth is this what you're talking about?

Saw it a few years ago.. VEry cute series, but not terribly in depth. It takes place in the same universe that FF takes place in, but has nothing to do with any of the games per se.

Here is a review for it at animefringe: http://www.animefringe.com/magazine/...e/2/index.php3

It's cute, and good for all ages, but if you dont like cute stuff and think "NGE is the best anime evar!" then you proally wont like this one...........

Still.. it's cute..

yeah thats what i was talking about.

i downloaded the first 10 eps of this the same weekend i downloaded the first 10 eps of Naruto, so guess which one i stuck with...

my biggest complaint is how juvenile it is compared to Naruto

it's aimed at a younger market. of course it's juvenile, because it's for juveniiles!
Naruto is Shounen anime.. not as bad as DB(Z) (though that is 20 years old now) but it's still shounen anime. FFU is more along the lines of Digimon in pacing, plot, complexity, and even art direction. This could be a good, or a bad thing.

well the chocobo is cute..

what does shounen mean d00d?

I looked at it, but had my doubts at the time... I picked up the Y's DVD's instead, but I think I'll get FFU, too.
