This is a great anime

I liked this anime very much because its theme and stories are relevant because of varying kinds of evil doers getting off because of wealth and influence. Because of their wealth, influence and/or connections they have nothing to fear from the law.

A team of assassins work for a group to combat these type of villains each of them has a personal reason of some kind for it and each of the four members are quite interesting characters as when I got this anime off an import DVD.

This is one I'm sad doesn't seem to be very well known but a good friend introduced me to it and I went to get it and well it was a decision I didn't regret at all.

a series for the seiyuu connoisseur

an assassin story! and you thought those days of Japanese film-making were over...well, Takehito-sama brought them back, just for us. very dark and violent, though not quite as gratuitous as parts of the manga. great soundtrack albums, too, because Weiss is a great vocal group (but don't expect much from the Schwarz songs...).

okay, it's true that, even for the time it was released, the animation of Weiss Kreuz wasn't exactly up to snuff. and it's true that a good deal of the angst is so contrived and plot-device-induced that it feels like it belongs in a yaoi manga.

BUT! it's also true that the cast includes Seki Tomokazu, Koyasu Takehito, Yuuki Hiro, and Midorikawa Hikaru.

it's angsty, the characters are involving, and listening to it is like bathing in chocolate. old-school enjoyment, pure and simple. <3 8/10 stars

A Knight Hunter Review

This isn't exactly AMAZING anime,but it's entertaining.Knight Hunters is about four boys who run a flower shop by day and are assasins by night.The plot is somewhat original and the animation is okay.Even though this is often classified in the action genre,girls will probably enjoy this more than boys mostly due to the bishonens(pretty boys).There is better anime out there,but you probably won't be disappointed with this one.I give it a 7/10

Guilty pleasure worth watching.

I think what makes this series so enjoyable, is the undeniable potential. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite animes, simply because the concept behind it is so intriguing, and the characters, although sometimes lamely displayed, are complex. The main problem with the storyline is the presentation; the dialogue and character actions can be very trite, and the plot has some really big holes. Despite all that, I'd still give it a ten because I enjoyed it so much. Great music, outstanding character designs, and a memorable plot line makes for an addicting anime certainly worth taking time to watch. One bit of advice though; avoid the English dubbing and go straight for the subtitles.

Enjoyable, Thoughtful Anime

I liked this anime very much because of its theme and stories, originally I would have given it a 10, but since then I have seen some amazing animes and although this is great - it doesn't have the depth of the other anime's I have rated a 10, but what I really like about it, is the way it makes you question about the world, especially how evil doers get off because of wealth and influence and how wealth, influence and/or connections they have nothing to fear from the law.

A team of assassins work for a group to combat these type of villains each of them has a personal reason of some kind for it and each of the four members are interesting characters.

The ending is very sad, that is all I am saying, and it shouldn't have ended the way it did - but I guess this is truer to life than most Marvel super hero stories.
