Product: Xenosaga: The Complete Series (2010)
Rating: 4.0
As Cool As the Game... Maybe.
If you've played the games, then you are familiar with the story. The anime is about as good a representation as you can hope for. The story in the game is pretty complex, and the anime stays pretty true to it. There is a lot of stuff to cover and it is hard to do it in 13 episodes. We do get a little information about Shion's past, and the whole thing with Jr. and Albedo. So the animation explains the basics. I think it should have been longer though. All in all I really like this series. The animation in and voice actors are all good. The soundtrack is good too. The quality of the game is definitely not lost in this animation. Like I said before they should have made it longer, it's an unfinished piece of work. It could have an epic feel like the game did if they made another season. Even as it stands, Xenosaga is a good anime that is worth watching.
