Asura Cryin' 2

Ever have to watch an anticipated (or somewhat anticipated) sequel because the first of the series just made absolutely no sense? Well this would be one of them. I was skeptical at first about continuing the series and even after I started watching, it was kept on hold at episode 1 for the longest time. Assuming you have watched the first season, you should know why. Simply put, the first season was full of ambiguity and there was only a rough grasp of the current plot. Now, to end the first season off with nothing but questions about everything we had witnessed, anyone would assume thatthe explanations would follow in the season season. Well time to be disappointed ladies and gentlemen because what we are going to get, is far from explanations. As for the explanations, without getting too in depth and ruining the fun for all of you(if you so happen to be the masochist to find out yourself), what the end result is, is that not only does the story get more ambiguous because of the new stuff that gets thrown at you, you basically get no explanations on anything from season one. Not One(good one at least). As if it couldn't get any worse, it does. By the end of the series your going to have so much contradictory information in your head, that you have no way of making sense out of this huge mess of poor planning. Asura Cryin' as a whole, is a perfect example of the "try too hard to put in everything and fail miserably" type anime. It tries to appeal to, too wide of an audience, that it stretched itself so thin, that it snapped. To put it simply, try taking a small rubber band about 3-5 cm in diameter and try to wrap that around your family sized box of cereal. What is the end result? The rubber band breaks and whips you in your hand. Not only will it leave you in pain and pissed off, but u got an opened box of cereal in the end to add insult to injury. As for the rest of the anime, it was alright. Some characters were great, some blew, and some will even confuse you more. The second season incorporates more sound tracks into the series, but none too inspiring. I found myself liking the first seasons OP more than anything else from the series and a bit disappointed in the rest of the sound tracks. There was no way I could enjoy this to its fullest because I personally was too focused on the terrible plot. However, because Asura Cryin' tried so hard to appeal to everyone, I got to see some of the character development I had wish to see. To conclude, Asura Cryin' sucked. Watch it if you really want to see the conclusion (believe it or not there is a very conclusive one), but if you really wanted to see a well knit plot, don't bother.

As many of you have seen the first season, let me just say that season 2 is much better. I'm only saying this because I watched season 1 and I had watched it 1 episode a week just because I didn't get into it enough to watch it nonstop. THIS season however is different. I had to sit through school and keep looking at the clock wondering when school would get out so I could go home and watch the rest of season 2. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time due to how action packed it was, and thestory was a big improvement from season 1. The story in this season had a much bigger plot, and it was a really interesting one too. The entire season is basically talking about different dimensions and alternate worlds. That intrigued me to start thinking about what it would be like to have another me somewhere. The entire story didn't have to deal with alternate dimensions alone, it continued the plot line involving the Asura Cryin' and Takatsuki vanishing and Misao and Tomo remembering their past. The story is totally crazy and it'll have some "Didn't see that one coming" moments. Art was as good as the first season. The fight scenes were animated beautifully and the character art was impressive. I'm saying this because the characters are portrayed differently in some of the episodes, which was cool because at some point in animes you want to see the characters wear something other then what they usually wear. That and the visual effects were also quite impressive. I like the voice actors and stuff, but when I watched it, it was one of those "Turn the Vol. up because it's too low, then turn it down again because it got too loud" animes. That's the only thing that I noticed they could have improved when making the show. Other then that, the sound effects were good, voice acting was good, it was all good. I personally liked the characters a lot. They weren't really annoying, they looked good, voice actors did a good job bringing a good picture to what they would sound like in real life. It was well done. Ania remains my favorite. She can't be replaced in my opinion. I enjoyed this season a lot. Personally, out of all the animes that haven't been dubbed yet, this is one of my favorites. I recommend this to all those who liked Asura Cryin' season 1, and to all the people who didn't like the first season. It's a big improvement, trust me. You're bound to like this one. Hope this review helped.

Story In my opinion, Asura Cryin' 2 was a lot better than the first season, some flaws were amended and made better. Basically, the twists in plot still remains and is good, you wouldn't know when friends turn into foes or whether foes turn into friends. New characters were introduced and a new storyline was formed, making the anime more interesting than the first season. This season got better and better towards the end as the characters turn more serious as time goes by and trusts one another in order to cooperate. The ending was pretty good although some of the characters who failed in achievingsomething they wanted in the anime had a pretty sad ending but good thing was that the main character ended up with the main heroine I wanted. Another part of the ending that I want to point out is that they used the first season's opening theme song once again which gives me a exciting feeling when I watch the main character fighting against the 'final boss'. This anime turned out great and I do not have any complains for it. Art The art and effects still remains intact, explosions were still awesome which I like a lot when I watch an action anime. Characters' facial expressions are still well made and the environments are well detailed. Sound The sound effects and voice acting are still good, and the opening theme is still great but it kind of loses to the first season's opening. Character New characters and old ones still remain, all of them have their specialties and I have different taste likings for each and every one of them. Enjoyment I enjoyed the whole season thoroughly, every single time I watch it, I'm always keen to know what is going to happen next which always leave me in a position to wanting to finish the anime. Overall, it's a nice and good anime in my opinion. Has touching moments and also happy moments which makes it interesting.
