The Silver Guardian

[SPOILER FREE/SHORT REVIEW] This is currently the worst thing I have ever added to my list, though I wouldn't say it is the worst show I have ever watched. This is because I don't even consider this a show. It has been two months since I watched this and I have already forgotten 90% of what happened in it, mainly due to its lack of substance. Nothing matters in this show; there are no stakes, no meaningful character motivations and the show just forgets about its own plot line halfway through. The first episode opens with a scene that has no context that seems to be setlater in the story. Basically a guy massacres a bunch of 'undead'. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed steins;gate, this scene gave me expectations that this scene would come up again as some plot point later on that would explain what is going on. This is never seen again. The main plot line is a 'kidnapped damsel in distress' story, but they just forget about it as our main characters dives into a video game to help some kid win a tournament. It feels like a series of short stories that don't have endings; they just move onto the next one without wrapping anything up. I can't even say the animation and sound is average. Half the time you can't even tell what is going on and the only decent piece of music in the entire sound track is the ending song. OVERALL: Don't watch this. I didn't have high expectations and it still disappointing me. 10 minute episodes made the experience slightly less painful, but there is zero merit to this 'show'.

My first review... Beginning of the show started out strong (first couple episodes) and showed some promise. The shorter episodes left a bitter taste. I didn't even know anime episodes could be this short. Story line jumped all over the place and was full of holes not to mention continuously adding new characters out of no where. I'd like to know how if the new game just started and Suigin was the first to get the console/game how he could be the most amateur/newb out there with no knowledge of this game compared to everyone around him...like wtf. Not to mention he started outOP and competent and now is just a floppy wet lame towel. With so many flaws and holes in this anime at least it has some good potential, perhaps the creator can acknowledge the failures and improve upon them. Honestly there is no where to go but up.
