Story & Characters
Ok, The story of a boy named Nakahito who discovers
an angel in a basement and some how by mistake ends up kissing
her when a sudden movement knocks his balance off and he
ends up falling smack on her lips. Well the story is ok I suppose,
it\\\'s a nice way to start off if you want people\\\'s attention but you
have to be able to keep up with it and make sure the ending is as great as the
begining which is where they messed up but I mean everyone
has their own opinion on the story and so I\\\'ll just leave it alone as
it disappointed me but still you can give it a try and say what you think
afterwards.
The characters are well explained except for the
evil guys really, their more mysterious and always
laugh at the end of a thought plan.
Since Kurumi and Nakahito are your main
characters you\\\'d expect them to be more open and
well explained but certain things are left unsaid after the
whole series and leave you thinking \\\"wtf?\\\"
Much of the story was still hidden even after the whole
series was finished, they leave you confused because they
don't fully explain what happened and what happens afterwards.

Art
Hmmm, I\\\'ve seen better. The eyes are cute
and the maid outfits for each angel are unique and
well desinged but that it, nothing else really catches
your eye, the scenery is kinda poor and theres not
much to say \\\"wow\\\" to.
As for the atmosphere they give off, it\\\'s
much better for because it fits with the type
of attitude the main characters have although
there are some parts that should have been taken
into consideration, it was bright for almost every scene
that could have been better in a darker atmosphere.
Character designs are good for some characters,
even though Karinka turned good I still got the
sense she was bad because she was always drawn
as if she was angry.
The characters kinda fade with the background, they
should have standed out more, but the chibi\\\'s were very cute.

Sound
The soundtrack is good, the opening song is very happy
and cute sounding which fits Kurumi because shes so lovable
and sweet. But thats about it the opening is only for Kurumi,
doesn\\\'t really fit all the characters.
The ending song was alittle different, I didn\\\'t expect
it to sound that way, I thought they would make a happy girly
song but they actually gave it a more of a beat and it\\\'s good dancing
music not really for the anime. But the words of the songs always
make up for however it sounds so they were good with words
but sound was a failure.
The sad moments had a soft sweet sound, it fit the
sadness of the moment and then the funny parts had
a funny beat so it was played in good, it was all bad people
this is just my opinion.

Presentation
Overall how they present the anime is switched between
making it tragic to making it have a happy ending and they didn\\\'t
really pull it off well. It\\\'s enjoyable in some parts but the fighting
scene are the best parts and you don\\\'t really get much of those even
though they say you do. The humor is there, some parts
will have you crying in laughter others will leave you to smile.
How they gave the concept of the story was clear but like
I said before they could have gave more information on Kurumi
and gave more insight on the characters. For a short series you think
they would have gave it their all, they made you believe that Kurumi is
unstoppable and is so very strong but it takes like almost half of a battle to
make her get serious and that gets boring after awhile.
But anyway give it a shot it won\'t kill you and it\\\'s a sweet story they
tell.

wow...it sounds really aweful
I haven't seen it but perhaps one day I'll check it out..though the story
seems really poor based on the review O.O
I havent watched the entire series , but it seemed ok to me, it really is a shame they didnt do anything to maintain interest in the story tsk
I have watched the first season and the ova. The first season started out good and then the ending got silly. It's good to watch once but I not over and over again. I like the artwwork in the series even though I didn't like the design in the clothing. Ickk~ Don't bother watching the OVA. It was boring as anything. So I agree with Kitten's assessment on this one. Nice review~
i very much agree with you. SAK never really had it. It was kinda like apointless anime with an underage boy loving a much older girl than him. They should at least show the Kurumi killing off the aliens who followed her back in time kind of plot . *sigh* And did u know the anime is like 14 minutes long only for each episode. Guess there wasnt much to show at all.
I loved the fighting and funny parts very well. Heck, thats the only thing interesting but it doesnt hurt to watch this anime anyway. It is pretty enjoyable, it is nice to watch for those who like some comedy. It actuall y isnt as bad as the rating says. i give it 6.1/10
Wow, sounds like a really awful and terrible anime
Maybe I should go check it out one day to see how suckie it is
Nice
review!
First your review. Extremely disjointed. It didn't flow very well throughout. It is quite hard to keep up with your thoughts when you don't properly portray them to the reader.
As for the show itself, I believe that it would not have been that bad of a show had it stopped after season 1. It was mindless and stupid fun, but it went on a little to long for it's own good. After all is said and done your score does seem pretty accurate.
i liked the show to but it was okay for me a few parts cofused me but meh what can i say.
nice review or bad uhh which is it...?
I've heard about this series...I've only heard bad stuff though ^_^;;
I remember this.. I've watched this before.
che! no es tan mala, por lo menos las minas estan buenas.
Hm, I never heard of that anime before, but it doesn't sound very good!
Umm...okay, well Steel Angel Kurumi for me is one of my favourite Animes. ^^; And its not like I have only seen a few Anime, I could make a list of all the Anime I've seen about the length of my arm.
I agree when you said that the scenery art and stuff wasn't that good. But I really liked the story and I didn't think that it got bad towards the end. I thought that the series was hell funny and I loved the unique characters. I can't figure out why everyone doesn't like it. Maybe I just have strange taste or something >>
Although i have to say that the OVAs completely sucked. It was reeeallly boring.
A bit more depth in your review would have been good but other than that it was fine. ^_^ Well done!
I liked the anime, but it aint something I go back to watch over and over like the others in my collection, only the encore dvd
. Im
crazy like that.
Kurumi 2 was too short though, bah.
Ive never seen the OVA, never going to as well lol. Good review none the less.
Yo i must admit i haven't watched the whole of the first series ive missed a few eps im trying to look for the next dvd cuz they dont have em everywhere is australia but i have seen the last 5 or so eps and does anyone know what happens in between the end of this series and the start of the 2nd series? cuz i really want to know. Plua i have seen the OVA and i didnt understand it for a second so if anyone knows anything bout that tell me thanks
*winces* It does sound god-awful. But I suppose for someone who prefer mindless and light animes, this would be the perfect choice.
