Chrome Shelled Regios

zz.. I've been too busy having fun to type more reviews.. but well I am here again because I'm just bored from playing too much computer games and watching tv. Okay. I have chosen to do a review on Chrome Shelled Regios this time. I have a classmate who is seriously a huge fan of this anime and so he kept urging me to watch it. Personally, I am no big fan of this anime and I don't think that it is as good as how my friend exaggerated about it to me. Before I go any further, here is the synopsis.

Synopsis:
The Earth's atmosphere became too poisonous for humans to live in and so the humans live in 'walking cities' called Regios that protect them. Just like many other shonen anime, the humans have kei, some hidden energy inside them. Anime cliche? They use this power combined with their weapons to defend themselves against Filth Monsters that thrive in the poisonous environment. So there is the protagonist - Layfon Alseif with very strong kei who becomes kicked out of his regios due to bad behaviour and goes to another regios to seek a new life blablablah.

What I liked:
This anime has decent fight scenes though not spectacular and has quite an original setting. However, that's about it.

What I disliked:
This anime lacks a whole lot of explanations probably because they wanted to leave the explaining part to maybe a second season. (Though I doubt they will have a next season). Another disappointment is that it lacks good quality graphics even though it was aired quite recently in 2008. One weird thing is that in most episodes, the anime shows scenes that are completely unrelated. Lastly, I HATE the uniforms the characters wear. They are an eyesore to me personally.

My verdict? I think that it will be an utter waste of time watching this anime unless a second season comes out.

Haizz.. I shall review a better anime next time.
