High school student and gamer Suigin Riku attends the prestigious Shinryou Private Academy, a school for the elite and the children of the wealthy. But rich or wealthy are not words that describe Suigin; in fact, he is dirt poor and must work many part time jobs to pay for his tuition. During one such job, he dives into a pool to save his pet cat, fully aware that he cannot swim. Luckily, he is saved by Rei Riku, the beautiful and popular daughter of a game developer, and he falls in love with her. He is also drawn to another girl: a new friend he meets in Dungeon Century, his favorite online RPG. But when the game is scheduled to shut down, he knows his adventures with her will soon end. However, the day after the game is shut down, he finds out that Rei and the online girl are one and the same. Soon after, Rei gives Suigin a new game meant to replace Dungeon Century—a tomb raiding game called Grave Buster. But when Rei is suddenly kidnapped, Suigin is pulled inside Grave Buster to save her. Gin no Guardian follows Suigin as he plays through Grave Buster to save Rei, while uncovering the secrets hidden within the game. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My first review... Beginning of the show started out strong (first couple episodes) and showed some promise. The shorter episodes left a bitter taste. I didn't even know anime episodes could be this short. Story line jumped all over the place and was full of holes not to mention continuously adding new characters out of no where. I'd like to know how if the new game just started and Suigin was the first to get the console/game how he could be the most amateur/newb out there with no knowledge of this game compared to everyone around him...like wtf. Not to mention he started outOP and competent and now is just a floppy wet lame towel. With so many flaws and holes in this anime at least it has some good potential, perhaps the creator can acknowledge the failures and improve upon them. Honestly there is no where to go but up.
[SPOILER FREE/SHORT REVIEW] This is currently the worst thing I have ever added to my list, though I wouldn't say it is the worst show I have ever watched. This is because I don't even consider this a show. It has been two months since I watched this and I have already forgotten 90% of what happened in it, mainly due to its lack of substance. Nothing matters in this show; there are no stakes, no meaningful character motivations and the show just forgets about its own plot line halfway through. The first episode opens with a scene that has no context that seems to be setlater in the story. Basically a guy massacres a bunch of 'undead'. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed steins;gate, this scene gave me expectations that this scene would come up again as some plot point later on that would explain what is going on. This is never seen again. The main plot line is a 'kidnapped damsel in distress' story, but they just forget about it as our main characters dives into a video game to help some kid win a tournament. It feels like a series of short stories that don't have endings; they just move onto the next one without wrapping anything up. I can't even say the animation and sound is average. Half the time you can't even tell what is going on and the only decent piece of music in the entire sound track is the ending song. OVERALL: Don't watch this. I didn't have high expectations and it still disappointing me. 10 minute episodes made the experience slightly less painful, but there is zero merit to this 'show'.
STORY: 6/10 CHARACTER: 5/10 ART: 9/10 SOUND: 9/10 ENJOYMENT: 8/10 OVERALL: 7/10 ‘Gin no Guardian’ is an anime that resorts to ‘Not overexerting itself’, meaning they go ahead with everything they are comfortable with while leaving out the rest for later! The story is a little confusing in the beginning since the show makes a point of jumping around with their narrative. You start at a strange place with the MC, who’s in this ‘Cool and OP’ stage, as he’s wiping out enemies left and right after which the story jumps right back to its opening where the said MC is just another typical student! These ‘Jumps’ aren’t used a lot,but they are pretty jarring! The biggest complain everyone had is the freaking run time of the show, for they are about 13 minutes long including both the OP and ED! Yeah, I am not kidding! This leads to the anime trying to cramp so much due to its short run time, thus resulting to a very rushed and incomplete experience! By not taking time with their content or their characters, it’s hard to care or emotionally attach to something. Sadly, even the plot isn’t particularly unique, so it becomes that much difficult for the anime to make any kind of impact! You have your archetypal ‘Game’ genre situation where the MC is somehow stuck inside a game and must survive by playing as a guardian in order to save the world and the girl of his dreams. Suigin (MC) is your plain looking, basic student who’s enrolled into an expensive school and makes ends meet by doing multiple jobs. Nothing about him really stands out whether it’s his expressions or his hairstyle, though his red scarf becomes very interesting once it’s seen in action despite the fact it is very distracting at first! The other main character, Rei, is even more generic and cliched than Suigin because she just happens to be side-lined to the one note role of Girlfriend 101! Literally nothing stood out about her! Her display of emotions, personality and expressions were all standard which is sad since she’s the other main romantic lead. I mean you are told great things about her, like how’s she so and so but we never actually see it to believe any of it! And how can you when they have less than 13 mins to demonstrate everything! And I guess the cat is cute so it has that thing going for it. The art style is very bland and boring with nothing striking, whether it’s the background settings or the character designs. But the animation is a whole new story! I liked the depiction of his scarf even though it doesn’t suit with Suigin’s overall getup. But I liked how it changes colour based on Suigin’s emotions. And if this show succeeds anywhere, it’s the way the action scenes are illustrated! The latter part of those fights is pretty good but the opening battle with that army is simply Spectacular! Despite its use of 3D in the opening, I was blown away by it! You never got that lagging effect, rather the 2D was perfectly incorporated with the 3D which resulted into one smooth Badass fight as Suigin goes dashing into the Army of Skeleton! The OST is another achievement worth mentioning, especially the ED, which was simply Amazing! It’s not just another great music set piece, Nope! It also perfectly sings the overall main arc of the anime’s story! Yes, you heard it right because it harmonizes about the dream and struggle of romance for the characters of this show! The short yet epic battle at the beginning get your hopes up into believing this will be an exciting anime, unfortunately it never manages to surprise you like that again! The common complain are the short length of episodes which really sucks but what I found frustrating was the direction of the story! It seems to move in one track at first but then suddenly changes course towards the end. Initially the story’s about Suigin and Rei finding each other in real life and a start for romance but then the last few episodes introduce a whole lot of new plotlines and characters which I found annoying. I understand they need to set up for the next season and further expand on the story but with such short episodes, I kinda wanted more closure. The other thing I would like to mention is the unfair kind of reaction this anime is receiving because it seems like people had insane expectations which the anime couldn’t deliver! Totally fair since the 1st episode almost blows you away with how good it is. But in my defence, it also becomes quickly apparent the rest of the anime won’t be following the same route, so people should really tone down your optimisms as well, after all the episodes are only 13 mins long! Since this is made by a Chinese company, I am willing to ignore its faults for now, but they better make big changes for the next season because now they have our feedback of what we liked and what we didn’t like! In the end, I liked the simplistic approach towards ‘Gin no Guardian’ and despite its flaws, I am willing to encourage others to give it a try!
STORY: First, it takes place in another world where it contains an explosion and fleet of monsters are battling against Riku Suigin. There is also a flashback on how Suigin & Rei met one year ago. In the anime, you can also see Suigin working in multiple part-time jobs in order to be enrolled in his school. There is also another side to him where he is playing an online PC game called Dungeon Century during his free time. Things become more interesting once the gaming company announced the game will shut down. It became Suigin's mission to save Rei from her abductors. Riku Rei:One of the popular girls in school, smart student, her family are part of the God Grave Tech Company and created Dungeon Century & Grave Buster, gamer, kind and has pink hair. Riku Suigin: Gamer, works in multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet, has a cat named Wanchoi. OVERALL: This anime is from the same creators that brought you BLOODIVORES. (Japanese anime with Chinese Influences). First episode doesn't explain a lot. The plot can be quite confusing at times too. Personally, I think the first 5 episodes are fillers. It does have its sweet, romantic moments, and action scenes. The episodes are 13 minutes long for this series.
As I had seen many different opinions about this Anime I decided to write my review. It is spoiler -free so, if you want to know, if it is worth or not to see - then I'll try to tell you. Also I'm gonna tell something about opinions that I've seen because it's connected to each other. Let's start then! First of all, if you are looking for a ambitious story - then you should watch something else. If you just want an addictive story, then you can watch it. The plot of the anime is "simply complicated". First season of Gin no Guardian issomething like an introducing to the world. It's like an tutorial in game, not really more. Main characters are not intricately, but it's easy to like them. Main protagonist is typical and definitely not an unique, but he is kinda goofy and can be reason to smile. His heroine is kind and innocent, but we don't know much about her just after 1st season. As I said, story is simple, but for the most of anime we are wondering what is really happening. Didn't I tell you that whole first season is an beginning? It is also beginning of plot. So we need more than 8-9 episodes to realise what are actually watching, but to be honest, for me it was a reason to watch next episodes immediately after previous one. This anime is something, that you can watch for fun, if you are not such demanding anime - watcher, just like me. I really liked that simple but addictive story. I liked main character and I'm curious what is going to happen next, since second season is now officialy confirmed. For me, definitely the most important feature of Anime is to let it make me want to watch it at "one breath" - next episodes just after previous ones due to curiosity about what is going to happen, and Gin no Guardian really made it. Because of this I don't understand pretty negative reviews. I can't get it why someone is saying that he "wasted his time with it" and rate it with 5, or even said that it is "worst thing he have seen in his life" and give it f.e 4. I guess that these guys just expected anamazing and breathtaking adventure or experience, but with this anime it is like expecting an outstanding plot in Mario or Fast and Furious, it just not it's role. Does it have any disadvantages? Yes, it does. - 13 minutes long episodes - it is not bad to make short episodes, but with such big world that is going to be shown here I'm wondering if standard 22 minutes of about 20 episodes would make it clear, definitely not just 12 episodes for and 13 minutes each. - Due the upper one, sometimes while we are watching an episode we can feel like someone just cut some scenes. We are in some time and doing something, and next scene can be whole different without saying what happened between those two actions - As i Said earlier, after 12th, "final" episode, I just felt like i end up an tutorial. Same knowledge about world I had for less then 2 episodes of SaO f.e. - It doesn't have so much action, since it's just presentation of the world. If you wanted to see many epic fights than you should watch something else, or wait for the 2nd season (it is going to have much more of these propably) So, if you are looking for something not ambitious and just entertaining then you should watch Gin no Guardian. BUT, if you are looking for an serious story about sense of life, overcoming adversity of life, power of love/friendship, then you definitely won't find it here. It's short, entertaining story to watch for fun or because of boredom.
|| NO SPOILERS|| For the producers: Just adding everything you need for a good anime, doesn't mean YOU CAN SKIP THE ANIME. It had all the potential, art, sound, story,... to be a good anime. Why did you leave so many loose ends? Where did the anime go? It's like your just showcasing ideas for a possible anime. Story: It's a total rip of from Sword Art Online, like totally... The more I think about it the more it resembles it. Also it's way to short and nothing is really explained. There are also real time skips and you really have to watch it in one go becauseit jumps from one scene to another. Art & Sound : It's really good so that's great. Length: Why.. Why! Why 13 min episodes? Who told you that's a good idea D: Character: The main character is okay, I mean he's a little to much of a 'typical hero' but besides that he's ok. Other characters are way to basic, they only seem to have one emotion, or at least that's all we see from them. Overall it's sort of fun to watch, I finished it so... But it's missing a lot so wouldn't recommend it.
This has no spoilers! But it does cover both seasons. If you are looking for a show that has good anything really, you're in the wrong spot. This show was really bad and when I say bad I mean really bad. The story was forgettable and that in my opinion is one of the worst things an anime can do, Be forgettable... If the story was good maybe you could get some pleasure of some type from watching this but here is my honest statement please do not watch this without reading reviews first. Its painstakingly bad and from what I have seen its not evena complete show. It leaves you at episode 6 in season 2 and by that time I had already forgot what all of season 1 was about. This show has some major issues being that its incomplete and has next to no story but, to finish I have to say watch this show, the only reason behind that is its important to know what can make for a good show or a bad. In my opinion its just bad or mediocre all around at best and is overall a bad show.
The best part of this anime is the outtro song. "The story starts from a cupid game I met a girl that day She's the one controls the fate I fell in love that day I have to win her, have to win the game Well, if you wanna win you've gotta play let money pave the way"This is the most basic anime I've ever seen. Girl gets captured, and boy needs to save girl. Throw in some bs fight scenes with random powers, there you go. I won't lie, the first 3-5 episodes had me interested. It's quitet practical the way the game changes from a skill/time based training game to a pay-to-win mobile game. HA. It's almost making fun of gaming companies that convert to pay-to-win and milk their players.
Gin no Guardian is not good. The art is average, the sound is forgettable, and there is nothing about the story or characters that make you glad you watched the whole thing. All in all, it's an experience that can be skipped. I suppose on the surface this is a shonen anime in the same style as Sword Art Online. A boy is tagged to save the world via his loner video gaming lifestyle. His fate is star-crossed with an improbably attractive young lady who also happens to share a hidden past with him. It's quite trite and makes you wonderif perhaps this was cobbled together from the ideas of much better anime. But it fails as a shonen battle anime. Fights scenes are incoherent and slap-dash. There are no clear rules of battle and abilities are not explained at all prior to just appearing out of nowhere. In the second version of the game, apparently money = power. (Clearly, the people behind the game are Evil because it's pay to win.) That's about the only rough guideline the show provides. It doesn't help that each episode is only half the normal length (roughly 13 minutes each), so there is little time for ability development or growth. The character setup is humble enough, and although the poor-student-among-rich-kids shtick is nothing new, it does make the MC sympathetic. However, what little good will this engenders is quickly squandered as the MC and the leading lady are tossed into crazy plot points with little transition or even time for explanation. Things simply happen, so don't go looking for niceties like character development or romantic suspense. About the only good thing I can come up with is that the half-length episodes at least ensure you are only wasting half the normal amount of your life should you choose to watch this even after my warning.
Starts strong with the first two episodes setting up what seems to be a great story. Unfortunately after that they just kinda forget about all that and start making entire episodes on random other people with nothing to do with plot set by the first 2 episodes. Honestly the MC is not even the character you see the most. I give it 5/10 because I like the MC, art and animation is decent, but the story and plot are basically non-existent. Maybe this would make sense if it was the first 12 episodes of a 50 episode series, but with just these 12 I justdon't get it. The plot literally doesn't progress AT ALL for the last 8 episodes. Not to mention the plot that's there has a lot of holes in it. It'll show random scene that seems like it's important to the story, not explain anything about it, then never mention it again. I have ADD and this series seems to fit that kind of format. Starts telling a story, then LOOK A SQUIREL, then 4 min more of the story in an episode then LOOK AT THAT RANDOM DUDE ON A BENCH, then another 2 min of the story in a different episode. It's accurate to say that when I was finished I learned basically nothing about the story, had a LOT of questions, and felt like I had whiplash from how the episodes jump around without any rhyme or reason. Finally the icing on the cake is the final episode of the season doesn't end with any cliffhanger, or having anything concluded or explained. It's just like any other filler episode. I was so confused after it was over and there wasn't another episode. I gave 5/10 overall, but for story I give 1/10.
