Final Fantasy Unlimited

Ok I wasn’t sure where to put this but does anyone know if the Final Fantasy Unlimited anime series is any good? I am not sure whether or not to buy the first series on DVD just to see what its like but I wanted other people’s opinions on this first.

I am not sure if the series was show on TV at some point in life in the states or Japan but I live in the UK and I have never seen it on TV. I knew there was an anime series but never put much thought about in buying it until now.

If anyone owns the series or has seen it before, plz post.

:rolleyes2

I've heard some negative stuff about it. I can't remember anything though.

I dunno... I thought it was ok...

Kaze rocks though...

I liked it, but it's really one of those things you have to see for yourself. But I liked it 'cause it spawned my favorite FF character: Makenshi. n.n He was awesome!! I suggest renting it first though.

I think it's the whorst anime I've ever seen.

I liked it simply because it was a wave of nostalgia, it's not the best anime in terms of story or style but there is just something special about seeing Final Fantasy trademarks through the anime medium. Chocobos, fanfare, and summoned monsters make me feel good whether or not it's a phenomonal anime. It was definately special for me but only because I've been so close to the Final Fantasy series since I was 7 years old. If Final Fantasy isn't special to you, the anime won't be either, I can almost guarantee it.

i have the first DVD, even opend a thread like this a few months ago, if at all possible rent or borrow it, it's terrible, the music gets very annoying quickly as the good guys win a fight, the animation is terrible and the story even worse, dont get me wrong, i like FF and i like alot of manga movies, but thsi one is just so humdrum. the only good points are the chocobo eating a young girls head all the time and the strange sexual arousal as she is coverd in a GIANT watermelon.

Not necessarily. People tend to have differences in what pleases them and what doesn't.

In my own case, while I don't find the Anime to be the best by any means, nor close to being the best of Final Fantasies, I enjoyed it. It was at times fun to watch and even interesting. Granted, I found that it was full of as many plotholes as VII, if not more, but it's still an interesting show to watch and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the Final Fantasy series, as they'll find much in the way of nostalgia present. That, if for no other reason, is sound reason enough to watch it, I think. That and Chobi the Chocobo, one of the cutest characters ever to grace Final Fantasy probably.

"Not necessarily. People tend to have differences in what pleases them and what doesn't."

wel i would never have figured that out:)

I watched the first series. I didn't think it was anything too special or exciting.

I think its alright, The music is reptitive and so are some of the fights, but man kaze and makenshi rock and the summons are awesome. "The Magun has thawed" that was cool. It's nothing jaw dropping but I liked it.

My thought exactly.

Meh, this series is ruined by deplorable animation, which I thought was strange for a game with the Final Fantasy title. Seriously, the animation is behind Anime from 10 years before it!

Call me what you will, that sort of thing ruins Anime/games for me.
