Needless Collection 2

After watching Needless collection 1, I was pumped for the second collection to be released.

However, in my opinion, they flubbed up.

All my reviews are short n sweet. No spoilers either. Here ya go!

Animation was still rockin in quality. No complaints there.

But the story and the ending ha! There were points I was like, huh? Continuity was completely outta whack! The interactions between two of the main characters made absolutely no sense in collection 1, once you see their past in collection 2. It's almost like a different set of people took over on this collection and wanted to convey completely different ideas. And the pace of the story was here and there...which brings me to the ending. Anti-climactic and quick. Haha! I actually laughed when it was done. They lead up to the end fight, big boss battle, DONE!! Ha! No closure at all.

If you seen collection 1 it left you with a nasty cliff hanger. And you been waiting for this puppy. Sorry yall. You'll wish you hadn't seen it if you were watchin for the story!! But if you were watchin for the action...Boom!! Gotcha covered! I gave it a three, jus because I dig anime action. It rates a rent anyhoo. Have fun!!!

Go itty bitty cutsy girl squad!!!

I love having complete collections not only does it save more space on your book case but it also has all the episodes that you can watch again and again. This anime had pretty artwork and i love the plot just wish they made more of this anime.

This is the climatic finish to the Needless first volume and ironic enough, you could live without ever seeing this. The girl fight in volume 1 was long and drawn out, but one of the BEST anime throw downs EVER! If Paula Dean saw that, she would say, "It's good, ya'll."

But she wouldn't tell her sons to watch this volume. It is clunky, it is listless, really I felt like it was a watered down version of what came previously. In this volume, Satan fights Adam and Priest fights Adam, Cruz's sister is revealed, but none of it sparks like it should.

I will say from a story perspective, this is a stronger showing. The story really saved this; it had me interested and invested until the end. We get to meet priest and Eve in their youth and they are charismatic. Priest especially was very likable.

He had big pink eyes, awww

Well, after the lengthy flashback, the remainder of the story is a bit foggy. First of all, we have a huge crowd watching the fate of the world be decided, but we never really hear from it. We literally don't hear them although we see them. Then suddenly, the crowd is gone. I never wanted the crowd there in the first place; I knew it was too much choreography for this particular production to tackle. And, they didn't. And, they managed to create here one of the most despicable anime characters of our times, ******, and they let *** off with a slap on the wrist. Yes, much like in Spider Man 3, the worst villain skates.

Finale! Needless is a "Wham Bam, Thank you, Sam" Anime. The ending comes super swift. SO fast you almost miss it and forget about catharsis. They show the characters in "the future," but obviously not distant because Cruz is still 13. Well, there is this half done slow motion part and the characters freeze frame off to....I'm not sure what. Needless ends as it lives: one more WTF moment for the road.

This volume is NEEDLESS, yes, but...so is that second slice of pie, that tattoo of Grace Slick on your chest, or that recent bad romance you waited ENTIRELY too long to end .... and you still call them. I say sink your teeth into this sugar laden anime.

Basically

Needless is an anime that has a lot of sexual references and scenes that could be questionable to people with high morale values but for those of us who just don't care, it's good fun.

Basically if you've followed on from the last volume the group are still fighting in that huge room, needless to say the beautiful girls squadron(As they're called in the dub) are fighting the group and getting into random perverted positions that either show their panties, or in some ways their half covered chests.

Cruz's sister joins the fight as does the guy named Satan, again more fighting in the room, what is it now, like 10 episodes in this room? Anyway this volume does introduce a few flashback episodes that try to explain things and a clash between Satan and Adam Arklight, the whole Adam Arklight vs Adam Blade, and more battles than you can imagine.

It's a good series, just its so perverted at times, I enjoyed it personally and found it funny.

The battle between Blade's team versus Simeon's Girl Force continues in this second and final collection of this series. If you saw the first half, then you already know that this anime is a action-comedy full of wacky characters, humor, clichés and panty vision fights. Needless is a homage to sci-fi movies, anime, video games and fan services all combined in one package, however there are a few downsides that are notable in its conclusion.

CONS:

The heroes are fighting in Adam's fortress but most of the fights take place in just one floor.

The second ending theme doesn't fit with the cliffhangers at the end of the episodes.

The final episodes are full of back story.

The show in its randomness tries to be serious in the final episodes, and for a comedy THAT never works.

Plot holes.

PROS:

English and Japanese audio.

The second half of "The Secret of Saint Lilly Academy" shorts.

Same fan service, same action and same humor from the first half.

Second Opening.

I enjoyed the first 12 episodes and the first half of this second collection, but the final episodes felt rushed and this is my biggest complaint because it's the same problem MADHOUSE does to most of its anime, just like in Claymore and Death Note Madhouse gave a "1-2-punch ending", where you are left to wonder if that's the manga's ending. Overall unlike many shows out there Needless was full of many unexpected surprises. 4 out of 5.
