I cant really tell where they are cutting corners. Sound: honestly, some of the music for this anime is cool, and the background music fits well. Its that some guys can demolish a building with a soccer ball kick, and then when they get on the field, its not as destructive. I was able to look over, and i hope you can too. It can be unrealistic, but should be consistent in its own rules. Sometimes the story can be a little overboard, like aliens, or angels, but isnt that why we turn to anime a lot of times: because it isnt realistic. They still hold off those peices of info that would give away the story in a way that gets you to think, and keeps you interested. That doesnt mean you can predict everything. its more simple minded (no deathnote, naruto, one peace, code geass). The story: as this is designed to be for younger audiences you would expect it to be simple. Its not kiddish so much, but its more chibish i think. I actually like the art style of this anime.

What anime doesnt do that though? Its utilizing resources effectively. The animation: the only thing I dont neccessarily like, but isnt really bad is that whenever they use a super technique they show the same segment of animation. (by the way, the main gollie is the voice actor of naruto). In a way its unrealistic that these small people have bold voices, but it hasnt bothered me. The characters have voice actors that sound middle schoolish or high schoolish. So in this anime, there is some of that annoying girly stuff, but really. I prefer an intellegent strong willed woman. the squeeling sounds of these 'cute' girls is soooooo annoying. For example: in many animes you have little girls up through high school girls that sound like stirophoam plates being bunched up and thrown away. I am 20 now, and although sometimes the kittyness of this anime can be a down side. Its not like there is a main idea and they threw in some extra crap, that a younger, less intellectual seeker would be ok with. I also, mainly, agree that this anime is designed for a younger audience.

I think that review has a great deal of truth and info to it. First of all: I agree with luminex's review of this anime.
