since this is an anime series and a final fantasy forum, i thought this would be a good topic. if this has been posted before, i apologize, i just didn't want to dig up a really old thread since it would piss off many a shriner.

anyhoo-what do you think of the series?

i enjoyed initially and liked many of the characters but got bored by the slow moving storyline and repeated animations. makenshi and kaze did rock!!! though.

It was alright, nothing special. I didn't watch too many episodes, was really expecting a great story tho. Like, with an anime series, you hvae round abouts 13 hours (26 half hours episodes) at the least to fill up with story, but nope. Damn you! Well, the animation was nice at least plus there were chocobos and the their theme tune.

Ok, I thought that so far it is a great anime I love the character designs and the CG but..yes but, I think it was way to childish, if the replace Yu and Ai with people more mature and slighly less annoying then maybe it will become slightly better, althought the first volume ended on a good note.

I've seen three episodes and i like it. I like the dude with that summon gun thing. Hes alsome.

I watched all of the episodes and I have to say I am very impressed! U_U I didn�t really know what I would be seeing so I sat back and watched the first episode.
I like Ai and Yuu. I mean they are childrenafter all so they can act childish, eh? Nobody complained about Eiko or Relm. They are young and if you take Yuu for example he�s very quiet and friendly. Ai is loud that�s true but that�s her character!
Kaze is veeery settled. There are not only annoying characters!
The anime has some episodes that may not have much story-telling but the have character-development. I was really pleased watching it and I don�t like people who didn�t even see all of the anime and judge it because of the first episode.

If there is a bad thing about it then that they had to end it after ep 25 cause the so-called Final Fantasy fans (who also didn�t like Final Fantasy I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VIII, IX, X, X-2 cause it�s not FF VII) proclaimed it as "non-FF and not worth being called Final Fantasy" and didn�t support it. If there would have been 52 eps then you�d have your story-line told in detail.
It made me somehow angry... I know many such stories where good series had to be cancelled cause the fans didn�t like it or even denyed it... It�s just not fair or what fans should be doing, right?
U_U After watching the last ep I really was sad... It left me thinking about it. That�s was Final Fantasy does, isn�t it?
You play/ watch it and after that start to think about the story, the characters and how sad this anime really was.

I watched each episode and wanted to see the next one.
I was like... "Go Kaze! Go!! Ai, Yuu! YEAH!"
I love it. (u_u)

"Lady Auron" :cool:

Well it's alright, nut i didn't like it that much=)

Well I Did say "so far" and I have seen the first 4 episodes. I am not getting at it I am just saying that to me Childeren don't prove to be such a great main role thats all. Apart from that though I thought the wakkieness of wonderland is great.

Alrighty, I presonally Loved the series, and I have seen ALL OF IT. Every Last episode. In both English and Japanese ^_~ God I love the Internet. I do agree that Ai ans Yu are a bit annoying, but Kuroki Kaze, Shiroi Kumo and Akai Kiri make up for that. Makenshi kicks ass! He is my favortive character of the show, and it's worth it to watch it for any final fantasy fan. They have the chocobos, catutars, summons, omega, Cid and a moogle. We've got the final fantasy elements there and the show has a brand new story just like all the games do, so it fits right in. I would say they did a very good job with this Anime. Alot better than that stupid spirits within movie. So FFU? :D :love: Yes, it's good.

My favorite part of the show is when he summons.

That like the only reason I watch that show.

A bunch of scientists are studying this abnormal weather pattern when it bursts open and turns into a portal to another dimension. Two huge creature fly out, one roughly resembles FFX Buhamet with a shotgun for a mouth the other kinda looks like Leviathan with a really pointy face. Anyway these things are fighting and basically end up destroying an entire army and then they kill each other.

12 years later, a pair of twins, Ai and Yu travel via a special magical subway into the portal and to the other dimension called 'the inner world' to find their missing mum and dad. On the train they meet a woman called Lisa who joins them in their search.
Once they get to the inner world they find some freaky stuff, and a chocobo and eventually meet Kaze. Ok Kaze is like the coolest thing ever and that is a pic of him on my avvie. But anyways the two childrean and Lisa basically get into a random encounter and have to fight and although Lisa knows some wierd ass KungFu magic they end up hanging off the end of a cliff and this monster gonna beat them down. Then Kaze comes up and he has something called a Demon Gun which basically mixes Soil (special sand) together to summon creatures like Phoenix and Typhoon and Odin.

That is the first episode through the rest of the series Ai and Yu basically travel to different prts of the inner world on the subway looking for their parents and all the time Kaze keeps looking for his arch nemisis Kumo who is basically the same kinda guy with a sword instead of a gun. They fight lots and everyone hates the ruler of the inner world 'the count' whp basically is the manifestation of chaos and he goes around destroying other dimensions and earth is just his latest try.

heya, i�ve seen all episodes of ffu, have to say it�s not really good drawn but it�s getting better in the last episodes. i jsut started watching it becaus of the name. after i�ve seen all of them have to say it can be cometimes really funny but that it is. it�s a bit sad because they would have been able to make something really good out of the idea.

well glad to see there are people who like it...I've been thinking about collecting the DVD's simply because they have "FF" in the title and, well, collecting FF paraphonalia is just something I do. But it's good to know that it sounds like its worth watching too.

well if i jsut watch it the first time don�t get shocked cause of the way it�s drawn. the first time i saw it i thought damn it!! but if you lwatch it a bit u maybe liek the story and i think it can be sometimes funny, but have to say hey im 18 so maybe it wil lbe to stupit for u ^^

yes i totelly agree, what a great couple of well planned out thoughts!! my fav mande/anime cartoon series is evangelion!! that programme is the bomb!! just cant beat that friday feeling!! feel free to send me a personnal message!!

ohh just fergotten to tell you if i wa you i would download ffu and not buy it. wouldn�t really spend money ifi wasn�t a total
" oh its final fantasy, i have to collect it" guy.


Edit by Tokiko: This is the dumbest thing I ever heard. Okay, I know some people think like this, but you don't have to sport this idea. Basically, you're telling them to watch the series illegally, and no matter if you're a fan or not, damn, you shouldn't do that. The series has been released in America, so if you want to watch it, buy it, or get someone to buy it for you, or whatever.

sorry im from germany and i watched it by a friend how really collect all that final fantasy stuff. didn�t thought that you all life in america. i also don�t like that download shit but as a friend had it on his pc i watched it. all i wanted to say was: if you can watch it on a other way or something jsut watch it first befor you spend much money on it and get sad later.

I didn't finish watching it coz' the local TV here didn't actually air the last 3 episodes. I'm SO mad. Could anyone spoil me a bit if Lisa found her boyfriend?? I think she and Kaze are cute though, LOL.

Does FFU has a sequel?

***SPOILERS ***

in the last episode, the main charcters have all been captured by the count. the count becomes omega(or somethin glike that, i can't really remeber) and fights kaze. kaze uses the ultimate summon-the bullets for which are the energies of moogle, ru and himself(i.e. kaze, moogle and ru die). lisa the fires the gun destroying omega. well thats all i remember.


***SPOILERS END ***

FFU has a sequel of sorts. on the website there are epilogue style stories for some characters in japanese which i can't read.

yep but in the end you see lisa ai her brother and the parents on a flying rock and then the other come to take them. and behind ai you see a cristall i gues it�s her "friend" the part of omega. and next to lisa is that earing that kaze always wears. hmm can�t remember if there was anything of what rai always wears or something of moogly. ohh what�s your favorit episode? i love that with the brother of the sword man thats really nice ^^

Although I haven't seen the whole thing, It's good at first but then well...

ive only seen phase 1(the first 3 episodes) ive seen them...there preeti kool...Kaze is so kool! though...hes a lttl strange....phase 3 is out now...but not phase 2....whats up with this place!...does the Magun hav a heart or something?? cause then, whats beating?? i like the summons...there kool(frm what ive seen) but the bullet thing is weird.....well i think it is. i also like Chocobi.....thought i like the other chocobos better though....oops im ranting! :) well ill see you guys l8r...im new by the way....seeya!

hehe about kaze with the time you know his story and also the stuff about the bullets. yeps it�s ha heart that allways beats. i don�t think that he summens are soooo cool the story and everything is good but i gues they would have been able to make the episodes much better the summens and also the way how the char. are drawn. but in time kaze looks better and swordman. but still his brother is the BEST!! ^^

haha...i didnt say they were cool....i said they were kool! lol jk, kaze has a brother?? is it Makenshi? or is that just his rival?? whos the guy with red hair in your avatar? he looks like makenshi....with red hair...is he related to him? or is that just him with red hair??

hehe that is swordmans brother and i just love him there is a nice fight and lalala if you want to know it watch it ^^

who is swordsman? i like that guy(in your avatar...he looks like makenshi...i like makenshi.....

swordman = makenshis hihihi ^^ yep it�s his brother. i think it�s one of the last 7 episodens where he has his part. i like him more than makenshi because he looks a lot better and i like his char. it�s just sad that he does not stay so long......
i think it�s possible that they could make a new seoson of ffu did one of you hear something like that? but im also not so sure because i heared that ffu didn�t bring so much money in japan.

It got cancelled midway. There are no plans to finish it as far as I know.

youve seen the whole series?!....ive only seen the first 3 epis. awww....ill see the rest soon!

like to know whats my favorite episode? the one of cause with swordmans brother and then the episode where cid becomes a frog *kihihihihi*
i would say especialy the frist episodes of ffu aren�t drawen very well but as i said to the end of it it get�s better.
yeps thought also thet they won�t make any new episodes :/
naja it�s really sad that they didn�t make ffu better i think a lot of people wher sad because of this bad animations just look at the summens....

i know...the animation is a little weird.....i mean...yikes! did you see them in the desert when the were walking? they all looked like 8ft tall!

So it gets better? im glad...i hope i see the rest soon....

hmm you inspiert me to try drawing Kaze or swordmans brother! ^^ okay i have to finsh that soon, put it on a hp and then show it to you :) who is your favorit character?
