The question which has plagued anime fans since this series launched...
How can Takuto say "Dazzling Up The Stage" and "Galactic Pretty Boy" with a straight face?
Star Driver in concept is quite fantastic. You have the perfect setting for a battle anime. Secluded island, technology that could change the world, and an organization out to use it for nefarious means. Add in a little idealistic hero and its set. Star Driver follows this pattern for the most part. But outside of it's bizarreness and bishounen themes, it actually has a pretty solid backstory.
Takuto starts off as an unknown. The series gives you plenty of reason to believe he knows more than he lets on. But it takes you along for a good ride before it gets anywhere close to it. To not spoil much, pay close attention to everyone's backstory that is presented. They all link up and build upon a rich plot by the time the final episode comes.
Characters themselves, are a mix of standard anime models with some quirks and revisions mixed in. But do not expect to...
Phenomenal Anime
First of all, this is an incredible series. Disregard that other review on a Gurren Lagann replica. It is nothing like Gurren Lagann. I am not going to go into the details of the story, but it is basically about a boy who washes ashore on a town, and this town can operate star drivers. The boy (Takuto) is a star driver and he is fighting to put an end to the creation of Star Drivers. It is one large plot. Each episode is similiar in formula, but each battle becomes more and more epic. The animation is absolutely incredible. The sound track is great. My recommendation is check our the first few episodes on Hulu, and see for yourself if its worth buying. This is one of the best animes I have seen in a long time. Anyone would be proud to have this in their collection.
unique anime
If you like gunbuster the anime, star driver has a similar style. Must have for your collection. Get the second half of the series.
