First Episode Review for: Phi Brain – Kami no Puzzle
Summary : A rebellious puzzle genius is lured into a world where common brain puzzles are magnified to fatal levels and given a super human “puzzle power” (yes i did a WTF as well)
Animation : Just ordinary quality, bordering on the good, the giant puzzles are well done though
Plot Potential: well its like a franchised version of bayblade, you would think it would be boring but it was the most engaging none ‘serious plot’ aniume i have seen in a while
Characters: Quite fun, like Pokemon characters but 5 years on
Music: Not bad opening theme and quite a bit of “the clock is ticking” type of music
Reminds me of: As i said before, a more serious none franchised form of Bayblade
Overall: Only the Japanese could do a series like this basing a really fun series on the most feeble premise, this should be geeky and sad but its as good as any but a few anime, very watchable, thought i don’t know how they will keep the quality of puzzles up
Disclaimer: These are mini reviews of anime’s that are fresh out in Japan and are not licensed in the UK, buy them once they have been licensed or at the very least buy the merchandise, remember if the anime makers make a loss, THEY WILL STOP MAKING ANIME!!
