It seems to be fairly common to base anime on computer games. It seems to work, the adaptions are better than most Game into Movie adaptions I see in the West. Be that as it may, this is a rather simplistic anime, aimed mostly at children. I can easily see my children watching this, especially if it were dubbed into English. Stylistically, it seems to be a combination of the personal dynamics present in Pokemon or Digimon mixed with a rather "He Man" style universe. Nothing really exciting here, though there is a bit of amusement at the "Celestians" being the bad guys who worship Neriod, the god of destruction, and the "Infernians" being the good guys worshipping the god of creation.

Title Sequence - Cast

Pass unless you are trying to get your children hooked on anime, subtitled shows or learning Japanese.
