Wild Cardz Review

STORY

0 / 10

Story? What story? Wild Cardz literally doesn't have one. Not only is there no background as to who the girls are, but even the idea of the current plot is extremely, if not impossibly hard to grasp. By the end of the OVA I wondered "wtf just happened?". Characters are introduced randomly and you still have no idea who they are at the end, the entire "point" of the OVA wasn't explained well and in general the story was just complete garbage. I have literally nothing good to say about the "story", hence an unprecedented score of 0.

ANIMATION

5 / 10

The animation didn't suck, but it also wasn't good either. The character designs had too many black lines all over the place, making them look old style. In addition, some characters had extremely weird designs such as no nose or anything on the face at all except eyes and a small mouth, or others which just had two huge googly eyes, which reminded me of Mermaid's Forest TV monsters. Colors used were basically everything you can think of in bright versions, which clashed terribly. Special effects ranged from suckass to even more suckass, making them very missable and forgettable.

SOUND

1 / 10

Extremely generic action music, with absolutely nothing special to point out.

CHARACTERS

0 / 10

Yet another rare 0 from me. Not only are none of the characters developed, but you don't even know who half of them are in the first place! It's like they took a random grab bag of action characters and every once in awhile throw a few in with some catchy lines. Meanwhile you still have no idea what's going on. No character development at all.

Voice actors fit the parts, I just feel bad for them that they played these parts at all.

OVERALL

1 / 10

Crap, just crap. Nothing was redeeming about this series at all except average animation. No story, really awful characters, ecchi thrown in randomly to try to spice up the series (SORRY GUYS, YOU CAN'T REVIVE A DEAD PERSON), bad music, just all around awful. You guys are lucky I watch and add rare things so you don't have to. ;) As far as rewatchability, can you guess this before I say it? I'll give you a hint: it starts with "when" and ends with "an ice cube freezes in Hell". Blech. I think I need to go take a shower now to wash off the filth.
