Reviews:

  • User SHlZUE (Score: 6/10):
    I mean... This was my childhood when I was in Korea, but man this show did not age well. The horrendous CGI on the spaceship, the quality, and the animation all seem way older than when it came out. I am rating this a 6 overall, but that's being really nice considering nostalgic value. Other than that this show really isn't anything. This show is basically this generic shounen kid that happens to have this special power due to being a descendent of this old race, and he and his group of friends adventure to find these symbols to be the best and stop being oppressedpretty much. Like I remember when card-based anime were the shit back then, so I would assume this was decently popular a really long time ago. There really isn't anything else to say, it's just the typical shounen tropes and a really badly aged anime.
