The Bus's Transit of Anime Realities

I heard about this anime back when it was just being released in Japan before I was even interested in anime, so once I heard it was coming to the states I had to check it out. It's not as good as the games (no s***), but it's without a doubt the best game to anime translation I've seen, and everything in it is of excellent quality. Even if you never played the games (and if you haven't your one of the people preventing good RPGs from reaching American video games consoles) you'll find this enjoyable. I'm not quick to buy volume 2, but its not a waste of your money to check this out especially since FFV wasn't released in the U.S.

Review for Final Fantasy Volume 1

Review for The Wind Chapter

Review for The Fire Chapter

The Wind Chapter

Two hundred years after Final Fantasy V, three of the four elemental crystals of Planet R have been stolen, and only the Wind Crystal remains. To prevent the loss of this crystal, Lenaly and her grandfather go to protect it while trying to avoid the arrogant, reckless Prettz. After an attack by a giant spider, the old guy is to exhausted to continued, he has to trust Prettz in helping his granddaugter in protecting the crystal which may be tougher since the sky pirate Rouge has an idea of a new treasure for her collection.

It humorous, runs at a good pace, has great animation, has a great soundtrack, and a decent story. Hell it's even got the trademark Chocobos. It just seems a little to tame, even for Final Fantasy. One of the few times I wanted more rude humor, but of course the final joke makes up for most of it.

The Fire Chapter

Review for The Wind Chapter

Review for The Fire Chapter

Our two heroes are first captured by the kingdom's air force which gets jumped by the Rouge's pirates. Despite unorthodox torture, Prettz will not tell the interesting location of the crystal, so the three, the leader of the air force and now new suitor of Rouge has also been captured, and imprisoned. Here the spirit of one of the original guardians of the crystal comes out of the crystal to tell the group of there destiny, and to embarrass the hell out of Prettz. Rouge over hears the conversation and breaks out the enurp eciuj to finally get her crystal, but little do they know that there is a force who wants to complete their recently aquired set of crystals.

There's a lot of action, but its still able to keep every that made the first episode so much fun. The humor even improves, comedy wise not taste wise. The action sequences seem to be like the video games which is an additional touch. I can't say its better than the first episode, but it comes close, kind of like FFII(U.S.) and FFIII(U.S) by many critics.
