Kiba (牙, literally fang, or if divided into Ki-Ba, a spiritual place), a fantasy anime by Madhouse, began broadcasting on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2006. The series is directed by Hiroshi Kōjina with Upper Deck Japan, a trading card game company, as the main sponsor. [1] The anime has been licensed by Upper Deck USA and produced by ADV Films for North American distribution.
The series is more violent than other trading-card-game-tie-in animations with many characters being killed. According to an interview with the March 2006 issue of Animage, Hiroshi Kamishina, the show's director, noted that the show "absolutely will not have any plot elements that carry favor to children".[1] The producers of the show has also commented that Kiba will not be the type of show to put "human drama" on the back burner while concentrating on promotional tie-ins.[1]. While Upper Deck owns the rights to the series, ADV Films is producing the dub and distributing the Kiba anime, and it will be available later this year.[2] Kiba started airing on Toonami Jetstream on July 14, 2008. It ceased airing on Jetstream on January 21, 2009.
So, what do I think of this anime? 1st thing 1st, I liked the songs from this anime, especially Very Very by Afromania. I think that song is cool. Oh, btw, the anime may seemed nice at 1st BUT as you continue watching, you will realise that the artist don't seem to be putting effort into his work. At some point of time, I would be thinking : " Is that a potato or the hand? " ~~Another thing about the anime that seems to have been misunderstood I guess. You get to meet several characters who are completely different. I also feel having read the other reviews that the main-character Zed has been totally misunderstood.
In the anime he appealed me the most because he doesn’t know his place in the world and thru strength he tries to find his anwsers.
Throughout the series he shows little emotion since he has always had to care for himself. He wonders if his mother still or has ever loved him which is 1 of or the main reason for being hesitatant of his place in life.
Because he is the only person who doesn’t want to change people he has no intentions that can turn evil. Because of this his Spirit Amil Gaul only believes in Zed. Zed seeks to improve himself not to improve the people or the world around him. With this attitude he is most capable of handeling great powers without being corrupted. And without corruption the world actually stands a chance. Which eventually can lead to peace.
anyways, its a so-so anime, but I really liked the actions when tha spirit battles.
Ratings: 6/10 ( sry if the review is too long, if you think that its too long, pls tell me and I will do smthn about it )
