FFU- What do you think?

I don't know if this question has been asked before but what do most of you here think of the anime Final Fantasy Unlimited? In my personal opinion I think the show was pretty decent ( and will buy it when it is released over here in September by our good friends at ADV

) and I felt that the show did a lot of things right, while somethings could have been done better ( re-hashed footage anyone? but then again this is one of the biggest Ronin Warriors fans here

) overall though, I felt that the artistic style, animation, and character design were all pretty cool... but hey, thats just me. I want to know what everybody else thinks of this pretty controversial anime that somehow has remarkebly managed to be somewhat more popular over here than in japan.

8)

Loved It.

At that time I had never played or seen any of the Final Fantasy games so it was all new to me.

I thought it had a good story and interesting characters. Some of the bad guys were a bit weak but overall it was good.

And I didnt know what Chocobos were but now I do and I think they are cool.

The anime got me interested in the games and I have started playing some of them now.

Good H-Doujin inspirations...

Personally, I thought that the entire thing was just a staging ground for Kaze to show off how cool he is 8) Which is no bad thing...

He doesn't come within a million miles of Vincent Valentine (FF7) though. I can only bemoan that Vincent was not one of the FF7 characters to get a Kingdom Hearts update :'(

Its kinda nice to see that people on this board actually liked the show (

now i feel like i'm not alone anymore

) Onto better things though, I was just surfin' the web and I've picked up some rumors that the FFU: After manga is going into it's third installment ( and i haven't even gotten the first two yet

) and from what most have been sayin' it's supposed to be really good... I can't wait

I always felt FFU was one of my guilty pleasures. A few of my friends explained (painfully, I might add) why I shouldn't have like that series. I won't list everything they said here, I'm sure you've all heard it all before. But I couldn't help but like it...it's a goddamn shame they had to shorten the series from its original 52 eps.
