Blade & Soul [Blu-ray]

it was great but i wish it was in english

Came in on time, good quality, excellent product

- Synopsis: Our heroine of this story follows the adventures of a highly-skilled assassin. Living her life as an emotionless killing machine and being bound by her strict code, her life is full of violence and tragedy. One day, her clan is destroyed, and her master is murdered. Unfazed, she enacts her code and seeks revenge: not out of emotion, but out of duty. The path of revenge she walks is a lonesome and bloody one. With nobody to trust, our heroine only has herself and her weapons she can rely on. Tune in to find out the fate of our heroine's struggles to carry out her quest for revenge. =========================================================================================================== - Comments: This anime is based off the game. Anyways, there's a high amount of violence, blood and gore, so keep this in mind if you are a viewer that may not be into violent animes. She's pretty detached. I don't think she's cold-hearted. She's just so used to killing that it becomes nothing to her. No matter how tough or new something is, with repetition and the right mind-set, it will eventually become as routine as breathing. There isn't that much character development and you don't really get to know the backstory behind many of the characters. If you just want to see a simple anime, then go ahead and try this one out. Though I don't blame those that got bored with this one. The plot is lacking but again, it's simplistic and involves the main character's quest for revenge. - Features: Japanese dub with English subs. Includes 13 episodes on 3 DVDs with a run-time of about 5 hours. Rated TV-MA for violence, blood and gore, and some fan-service. =========================================================================================================== - Recommendations: Akame ga Kill!, Deadman Wonderland, Attack on Titan, High School of the Dead, Ben-To, Btooom!, Freezing, Yona of the Dawn, Akuma no Riddle, Cross Ange, Brave 10, K.

I watched this on Crunchyroll and so didn't purchase the DVDs or Blu-Rays. Any potential issues regarding the disc versions weren't encountered due to my channel choice. I only heard the Japanese dialogue with subtitles and the voices chosen work reasonably well. I have no idea how the English speaking cast will do but at least one character is going to be going to be bad and my bet is that it will be the bikini clad bounty hunter. The plot is approximately as outlined in the description above. It is a little more involved as the roles of the Param empire and Jin Varrel are explored. Probably the best character is that of the Inn owner who bears a grudge against Alka and who is able to act upon that grudge. This provides the route for some much needed character development and emotion in an otherwise linear story. I don't think this broke new ground and even though the girls are pretty there's not much fan service. The action scenes are good enough but limited in number. It gets three stars because I did watch all of it but after a week or so can barely remember it and have no desire to see it again. Like I said it's not bad but doesn't stand out from the crowd.

awesome anime!

The series is so good to watch. I love animes in Japanese or in English! I'm definitely going to get this for my anime collection.

i wwas lost

When I finish this, I was trying to figure out if the under lying meaning was about taking revenge or to take responsibility for your actions. But if you're not a person that looks for the meaning behind this, you will enjoy the story and the beautiful scantily dressed, well-endowed girls.

Based on a game franchise, this is... alright. It is a redemption story with various characters coming to terms with their pasts and rediscovering their humanity... I think. All the main characters are female (not a problem just an observation). The thing is that I actually preferred the main character before she embraced her humanity and had three showdowns with the same main enemy. She just ends up as indecisive, less effective and with a lot of emotional backage. Special mention for the closing credits which feature one of the worst and mosts repetitive theme songs ever - some rubbish about rainbows (it is mixed language). It is a US import - the Bluray works fine on my PS5

Fast and reliable item as described...

I watched the first two episodes of this series on Youtube, which made me want to order this series, and here, after two months of waiting, due to confinement, is the arrival of this magnificent series. But the wait was well worth it. The characters are all the more endearing as they are adults, the narrative arc remarkably well done, the intricacies well put together, .... In summary, great art.

Great show, highly recommend

enjoyed the dvd story line kept me wanting to keep watching
