11eyes

This anime should be accompanied by a checklist, let's see...

Introspective, eyepatched loner hero traumatised by a tragic back story... CHECK

Dedicated younger female friend who wants to get closer to him... CHECK

Hero's best mate with an unhealthy obsession with the opposite sex... CHECK

Best mate's female buddy who clobbers him every time he lusts after other girls (Which is LOADS) CHECK

Strange new girl at school who doesn't say much yet follows the hero around for yet-to-be-revealed reasons... CHECK

Strange new boy at school who seems to hate the hero for yet-to-be-revealed reasons... CHECK

And that doesn't even begin to explain the Red Moon appearing in the middle of the day and the disgusting creatures with tentacles that emerge during these periods. Or the red haired sword-wielding girl we see during the intro (Great theme tune BTW) who I'm sure will have a major role. Remember: this is only a review of the first episode, but by the looks of things we've got quite a few OTT battle scenes ahead, as well as short skirts and breasts with a life of their own galore.

So, a pretty bog standard Japanese cartoons, with all the elements neatly stacked in a predictable, but entertaining way. I'll watch a few more. 6/10

Lots of magical fighting and plenty of plot twists
Tweekums14 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I knew nothing about this series when I saw it listed on Crunchyroll; but as it was only twelve episodes long I thought I'd check it out... after all even if it was no good I wouldn't have wasted too much time. As it turned out it wasn't a waste of time but nor was it something I'd bother watching again. Like many such anime series this features a high school boy and his friends as they battle against evil forces. Here the protagonist is Kakeru; a boy who wears an eye-patch for initially unexplained reasons. His friends are mostly female although there is one boy in the group so it wasn't quite the cliché harem I was expecting! One day Kakeru and his friend Yuka find themselves pulled in to a parallel world; the world of the red night; here they are confronted by strange monsters. As quickly as they are taken there they find themselves back home where they soon learn that they aren't alone in being taken there; this is when the group of friends start to come together. We are also shown their adversaries and learn that they are keeping a young girl imprisoned in a strange crystal for reasons that don't become apparent till later. Over the course of the series there are many fights and more than one main character dies.

If you like this genre of anime I think you will enjoy this more than I did; there were too many battle scenes for my tastes. Thankfully when they weren't fighting the characters were quite interesting and there were plenty of plot twists that I didn't see coming. The first episode made me think there would be an excess of fan service as it featured panty shots and jiggling breasts; thankfully this didn't continue into later episodes as it would have been too much for those who don't like it and not enough for those that do! Over all I'd recommend this to anybody who enjoys lots of magical fights with strange creatures and some good plot twists but if that isn't your thing give it a miss.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Not very good but not the worst
mafiagirl-214315 December 2021
This might be one of the most overhated anime That i know, is it perfect ? No, but the story is somewhat interesting and the characters are somewhat likable in my opinion ( not Yuka tho, I hated her )

Meh, Predictable
Littleman9515 February 2021
Plot: at the beginning there is hope that, maybe, it would become something greater (or, at least, I did), something interesting. At the end there is only delusion. They play with parallels world doing a mess. There is no emotion in the moving scenes, no feeling. Everything becomes too mach predictable, and so, boring. There are too many silly behaviour from the character, some very illogical. Last but not least the basement of the story is very weak. There is a quite good love story between a girl and a boy, though, the only one I enjoyed.

Animation: well, for the year it was quite good.

Drawings: not perfect. Sometimes are quite difficult to read, I didn't like them. And there are too many panties showed without any reason.

Soundtrack: aside a pair of bad songs, everything else worked fine.

Conclusions: not recommended at all. Not well narrated, predictable and not emotional at all.

A lot of potential to be a fantastic supernatural story
Mysterygeneration18 January 2024
The anime has a lot of potential to be a fantastic supernatural story. The idea has been employed previously. Despite this, I decided to still watch it. It is possible to take a lousy notion and make it shine. This aspect struck me as gold at first. But this viewpoint deteriorated, and the tale gradually changed into something else entirely: a clumsy and awkward one. An intriguing tale abruptly turned unpleasant and strange. The other characters seem to have suddenly lost their ability, and some have even devolved into "dreadful and annoying" (Yuka, I'm looking at you.) And everything else just went blah. It manages to be pretty fascinating early on, so I'll give it a 4.

11eyes has some really amazing artwork. Since the "moe" element was the primary focus of this series, artwork from other, more complex series cannot be compared to it. It features attractive characters with features like large eyes and the like. Nonetheless, there were a few awkward-looking battle moments. I had once anticipated a spectacular duel between two skilled swordsmen. It cuts to a single scene. Then cut to a scene where one of them continues to refrain from fighting, saying, "She's too strong." It seems like they were too poor to include a major combat scene. That was a mistake. This receives a 7 for excellence in the intended genre.

The first two themes, "Arrival of Tears" by Ayane and "Sequentia" by Asriel, are excellent and incredibly captivating. The show's BGM was excellent as well. There was epic music available. This receives a nine.

It's true that the characters are stereotypical. Your fetishes were the reason behind creating these characters. It was alright, I get it. That was the main idea. Then IT transpired. A sick little kid with her own sick little fancies degenerated into one of the major girls. As previously mentioned, the majority of the ensemble unexpectedly lost their fighting skills, and the protagonist simply assumed a central role in the show. How in the world did that happen? I give this a six.

I really liked this show, even though it wasn't very amazing. Since it was a moe anime, it did, in fact, cater to me. It fits my personality. Later on, this interest vanished because of... narrative problems. I give this a seven out of enjoyment since, despite that, it's quite entertaining to watch.
