Xenosaga The Animation: Ep.1

XENOSAGA THE ANIMATION EP.1



I was looking foward to watching Xenosaga - after hearing great reviews/comments about how good the story was in the game for the PS2.

But if this is what the game is like.. then heaven help! :x

The first episode of any series should grab your attention but this unfortunetely decided to throw my attention span right out of the window! From what I could tell, the plot revolves around panning screenshots of Shion; I mean - Shion being the goody two shoes she is, wants to help out an inferior known race called 'Realians' and she grows fond of a child-like one blah blah. Then out of nowhere evil attacking aliens known as 'Gnosis' decide to ruin Shion's fun!
But of course everyone's favourite robot KOS-MOS 'ressurects' herself *gasp* to probably save Shion! Cue episode 2!
But this episode was dull in every sense of the word - including the colour pallete it seems! The opening was uninspiring and the dialogue was every bit as mind numbing as you expect. However I will hold the rest of my scathing comments until I watch one or two more episodes - that unless it doesn't send me to sleep first. ;)

One noteworthy mention is the ending song - very pretty and I think it should have been the opening song instead.
Let's see what episode 2 holds in store!
