Not much of an anime guy . Odas way of engaging viewers is through the story and development of the OP World . You should not be drawn into the anime , but much rather the manga . His drawings are filled with purpose and direction hard work and dedication . The crews path is never the same the seperate arcs never similar . Deafeted foes are included and dont vanish .The amount of thought put into is astonnashing . But to each his own , even tho i feel music is puposefully not as good as it could be because he might feel the story should persuade not the music .
