MY REVIEW:
============
The story: 5/10
The characters: 6.5/10
The graphics: 8/10
The musics: 5/10
Style: 6/10
Overall: 6/10
THE STORY:
Well the story isn't that good for me, to be honest I didn't like it... You know why!? Well it's because it's the same old copying other animes, I mean if there was something new with the story it will be alright but it's same same old... A boy of hope, and he is the only hope for the world, crap... But yet for some it might be cool as you know there is a robot a panther and some stuff that might you like it, the first movie really sucked but then the next movies were alot better I think... Check it out maybe it's only me who doesn't like the story as you know I like deep stories such as Night Warrior's storyline, Yu Yu Hakusho...etc but if it was a fighting anime then I don't care about the story much, though...
THE CHARACTERS:
As for the characters, there is less great character, I mean it should have more characters since it's a big popular anime series, the only thing I like is those helpers of robots, panthers and stuff and maybe the final boss... Who else noticed that Babel looks abit like the hero from Giant Robo series, I guess they have the same hair style hehe... One thing I like in Babel when he charges up and turn to yellow kinda remind me when G-Gundam characters turn to be shining characters or Athena and their holy crap Psycho's stuff... Just check it out you might find more than me, though...
THE GRAPHICS:
Now I don't have a comment about the graphics since the first movie series graphics sucked as hell, if you just see the difference between the old one and the new one you will for sure appreciate the art and graphics team for their great job on improving the graphics, the graphics are well done and it's pretty cool, when you see it you already would know that it's a new anime... The color effects are pretty good as well...
THE MUSICS:
To be honest I didn't liked the musics at all, it wasn't that good... It should be a little better than that because It was really pathetic, but maybe you like these type of musics but I am far different... No more comments can be said about the musics... All I have to say is that I don't like it...
STYLE:
The anime style isn't that bad but it's kinda slow and boring... The only scenes are the final scenes of course cause the anime gets some life... If you see the Babel II the first one you will sleep, I am not joking it was really boring especially the first episodes... As for the characters style it's not that much too but yet it's pretty good, I like those wankers :D who trying to be like the Giant Robo's dudes... Hehehe...
OVERALL:
Well I don't know what to say but I think it wasn't a very good anime maybe it was good, heh... I know many of you might like it but as for me I don't think it's that good but yet I am not saying it sucks at all, if you like to buy it I suggest you to rent it first or see it anywhere before getting it, it's surely recommended... If you are stuck with what to buy, Giant Robo or Babel 2, or Evanglion, I suggest you to take Evanglion then Giant Robo then Babel... But if you are a hardcore anime fan then get it as you like...
