A.I.C.O.: Incarnation https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/anime/1921/91085l.jpg @Robazoid This came out around the same time as B the Beginning, but got a lot less talk, I feel like. Thats somewhat backwards to me, since AICO is the much better series! Due to its recency, its actually the latest series Ive watched on the list (not counting later seasons of a certain series that will appear later), so my memory of it is still quite vivid and this writeup may be a little better than my other ones. There are a lot of cool things about AICO. I like the format quite a bit, where after a couple episodes of introduction, the whole series focuses on a single mission. Gives everything a more coherent feel, and made it a good feel for binging as well. The setting is solid, and they focused on the best part of the series pretty heavily, that being Aikos connection to the Burst. I highly enjoyed every part of the series that was related to this aspect. Having an ordinary girl connected to a world-threatening organism is great stuff. She dealt with it all in an interesting way, and the duality of the two had nice consistent development, though all the twists involved were highly predictable. The only twist that was actually surprising was the stuff with the daughter, but it was more that the twists were heavily foreshadowed, which is much better than them coming out of nowhere at least. Other than that one aspect, though, the series isnt quite as strong. The cast is all perfectly fine. I do like them pairing off for romances, which you often dont get in action shows. There just werent really any standouts to me - evil patriotic lady was probably about as good as it got for the supporting cast. The animation was consistently good, but the battles werent particularly thrilling. Fighting big blobs isnt that exciting. The villains plotline was the most blah part of the series. Didnt find any of it really compelling, and I think the show wouldve done fine without it. In the end, none of these aspects were genuinely bad, so I enjoyed AICO from start to finish. Consistency is nice sometimes. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:908136468] in Mac Ranks ... [t:76920254]...</cite> <quote>80.
