Anime: Wild Arms: Twilight Venom

Breathtakingly average.

The first thing one notices about Wild Arms is that it is an older comedy. I got reminded of Geobreeders for a minute, but it can't be compared with a 3 episodes ova after all, so I won't get into that.
What Wild Arms does have is the lack of everything. It doesn't have anything one can like, but it also has nothing one can really dislike.

Animation: Nothing spectacular.

For a series which just only peeked around the corner of the 21st century, Wild Arms does a sufficient job. The animation might even be called boring, due to the non-spectacular animation, but there is not much to complain about. There is some reused frames, but it's still bearable. Since it doesn't have anything special, it's hard to comment on this part though, so I'm going with the most regular mark here as well.

Sound / Voices: Nice.

The music and the voices are done both nicely. The only minor drawback would be the script, which sometimes caused non-original text to be spoken. The ED-song was quite odd and I don't really want to call that music either. It's just a bunch of electric guitars and a yelling guy, which hardly gets to be called music.

Story: Nothing much of a story

While the series tries to make it look like there is an actual story, the only thing which ties the episode-wise series together is the fact that the main character wants to get his body back.
The episodes are fairly enjoyable, since they don't have much substance and usually are comical stories without any meaning.
The only drawback is the fact that for around 18 episodes straight, they use the same idea where one group encounters the other group and the entire buildup happens the same way.

Characters: Fairly okay.

The characters are enjoyable, although their behaviour becomes predictable and a tad boring after awhile.

Value: Easily rewatchable

Because of the standalone episodes, this series is easy to rewatch. The lighthearted comedy tone of the series also helps in rewatchability.

Conclusion[/u]

Does this review feel a bit boring? That could be quite possible. Mostly because this series is, although nothing outstanding, also quite nothing more. Wild Arms is exactly what it sounds like: a series you watch and wonder if it was either a waste of time or a nice watch. I still haven't figured it out, but I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone else who doesn't have spare time on his/her hands. Wild Arms is nothing to disrecommend, but it doesn't offer anything which is worth watching either.
While the episodes itself aren't really boring, it lacks appeal in which one can lose himself, or even get fired up to watch it. Wild Arms has the ability of making the series feel like advertisements; you don't care if they're here, but you also don't care if they're not here.
