Shangri-la Episodes 1-7
Oct. 13th, 2009 10:37 amIn between Tales of Phantasia (waiting for the DVD to arrive) and Tales of Symphonia (watching with Cody), I've been watching another anime on my own which I downloaded based on a review from Star Crossed Anime Blog. It sounded interesting, and I'm always looking for strong female characters, so I figured I'd give it a shot. So far I've watched 7 episodes.
( Thoughts on Shangri-la so far )
While this series does have its flaws, it's a very entertaining watch and shows a great deal of promise. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who watches anime primarily for sexy girls or guys, romance, slash potential, realism, or great philosophical insights. I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to keep an open mind and suspend their disbelief in favor of a pretty enjoyable story. At least at this point. We'll see what happens in the remaining 3/4 of the anime.
