Granblue Fantasy: The Animation

Yes the story and characters are a little fluffy, but it's still better than most other shows these days. It really doesn't take much to surpass shows like Tails of Arcadia or Star Wars resistance.

I have to agree with JoelNova that the story line in this is weak. Purely coincidental to his experience, I also found myself fading halfway through the 4th episode and by the middle of the 5th episode gave up on it entirely.

The characters are super-cliche. The story is action-packed but borders on boring plot-wise. I am not an easy person to bore, but found myself totally bored by the middle of the 4th episode, where I found myself thinking, "When is this episode going to end?" That's never good for an anime.

While this is not rated for children, undoubtedly younger ones will watch it for the cute characters (such as a chibi dragon). Some parents may find objectionable the strong promotion of fantasy "gods" and even repeated recommendations in at least one episode to pray to and worship such gods. This could have influence on the impressionable.

The graphics are moderately acceptable (nothing special). The dubbed sound syncs nicely and the background effects/music don't override the voices. So technically it's done well enough... if just barely enough to slide by. I did like some of the designs on the skyships. The dragons were sadly droll. And just to say: Tiamat has worse ranged targeting than Star Wars Storm Troopers-- unbelievably bad. You want one of the worst magical powers in the cosmos, here it is: highly powerful beam and explosive bursts that never hit their intended target. That would be a bummer. Worst. Dragon. Power. Ever.

I don't think there is a unique, original character in the series. In short, it might appeal to action junkies but for those who appreciate skillful story-telling, this falls far short.

Very unique visual aesthetic and great use of light and colors, especially during sword fighting. The anime is also very well directed.

However, the plot is really basic, and the enemies are so goofy, I suppose it's targeted for a younger audience.

I gave this show a shot and watched four episodes, but with so many other anime, it just didn't have enough to make me stay.

I would have enjoyed it more if Gran had actually died in the first episode, or he met Lyria much later, so we could've had more time to know everyone's back stories and know exactly what the Empire is about. But they met too soon. Everything feels rushed, and I don't feel like any of the characters are that strong or unique.

One of biggest traveling anime Really interesting charector Feel good anime I con't wait for 3rd season Charector development of main character is okay not super but really nice anime This anime animation is next level I really enjoyed lots Finally if ur not seen this anime have a look on it.

Animated really well and the characters are lovable. It's a bit like watching an RPG unfold. I recommend this and am very excited about S2.
