Why are there so few ratings for this great anime? I'm literally shocked by how few ratings there are for this title on this site - 477 ratings after 13 years??? Bizarre. Anyways...
...going by the number of ratings here, it must just be that me and a small group of people know what most simply don't - that Xam'd: Lost Memories is a great anime that is worth the watch!
Take a look at the production values... just watch a trailer for this series! This anime is from the renowned Studio Bones (and you can see in the credits that various other studios pitch in as well including one of my personal favorites - Gainax)!
This anime is great! The action sequences, the intro music, the animation, are all EXCELLENT! That said, where I feel this anime shines the brightest are in its character design, its story, and the world building.
However, this anime is far from perfect... and I must say with how the characters and story are developed in the first 13 episodes they really could have had something incredibly special here. However, unfortunately, the general quality of the anime takes a dip in its back half. The story becomes less compelling and messy, characters behave uncharacteristically, the the pacing and writing gets worse. There are just a lot of issues with the say, last 10 or so episodes of this series. That said, I still REALLY enjoy it because just how great the first 13 episodes are.
I recommend that you check this anime out!
