Strain

Type: Anime

Status: Complete (13 episodes)

Premise: Mankind is fighting a civil war against a group of rebels in the far reaches of space, among the weapons of the colonials is the Strain a mech using the harvested from the unborn fetus resulting in a kind of neural computer. Sara Weric is the younger sister to the legendary pilot Ralph Weric and is in training to become a strain pilot, but when the enemy attacks her school she begins to learn the truth about the beginning of this war.

Thoughts: This anime was relatively uninspired as far as plot goes, but the animation was beautiful and the characters are actually quite interesting if unbelievable. All in all I would not recommend it, but it was relatively well crafted considering it is only 13 episodes to build a world.

Prose: Lovely animation and decently interesting characters are the motivation for this anime, but not much else.

Cons: Not inspiring, and feels more than a little forced. I do give them credit for what they accomplished in 13 episodes but there is a limit at the same time.

-Notes: Fully dubbed.
