Reviews for KAZAHANA: Merciless

Good ole' corny flash anime. I miss this.

While the drawings were good and clean, and the colors and character designs followed suit, I hate to sound like I haven't been waiting forever to see a new KFMB episode come out, you guys' style is really kinda starting to show its age. This is not to say that this doesn't well up the boner of nostalgia from being 13 years old, frantically running to the computer after school hoping to god there was a new episode of XIN out, but you guys are still animating like this is Newgrounds 2003. The fight was full of low-framerate character tweens and disjointed body-parts, and many of the movements looked kinda robotic. I really think you guys should consider updating your style to something more fluid so we have slick visuals to carry the story. Regardless, still good toonage for people who miss the "era" of flash anime series...and are desperately clawing to keep it alive. I STILL LOVE YOU!!!!

hmmm

this was quite a good animation although the art itself was questionable at times.
also the story ringed some bells ( sekirei, ikkitousen, kämpfer) with a male cast.
hmm not that i complain.
improve the art and amaze us!

ps.. some of the voices sounded like they were done a bit too close to the mic ^^"

I thought it was good

The major thing I like about this was how much it felt like a classic anime. Even the voice acting had that familiar feel to it, although being a bit down in quality.

I felt the art seemed rushed, in some scenes it was decent while others just terrible. The eyes especially changed in size and quality, it was distracting.

The animation itself was pretty good, a little choppy, but fitting. At least in the action scenes that is, much of the dialog animation was poor, even for anime standards.

The plot was interesting, even if simply a set up for a battle series. However the pacing was the worst element of this. I felt that while this had much of the same charms of classic anime, it also shared in the pitfalls. There was too much of the long dialog scenes with the over the top explanations. I felt it might have even been done on purpose when they kept talking about the fight they were about to have. Either way I felt it just really dulled the Flash down from it's full potential.

It was definitely worth a watch and I'm looking forward to see how this series goes, it's made very impressive progress so far.
