Understimated

One of the first things when watching a new anime and judging whether or not its "view-worthy", is the intro song and whether or not its worth listening a few dozen times in conjunction of watching the anime itself. I was pleasantly surprised by both the OP and Ending were very attractive to listen too.

Getting on with the actual review of the Anime Freezing, I believe that it separates itself from other animes through its assortment of characters and their subtle differences from other shows. As important as first impressions are, much of the joy from character development is finding out why they are that way in the first place. Each character introduced in each new episode seems to have their own personal back story which adds on to the war torn setting of Freezing gathering more intrigue from the viewers.

It's pretty hard to avoid not using ecchi scenes in anime's targeted to young men, especially when in truth its pretty effective. In saying that, i don't think that Freezing is overly ecchi (compared shows like Ikki Tousen and Kanokon) and it should just be considered as an extra for Freezing, which does have a interesting Storyline.

My final thoughts on this show, is that its still early to judge which direction this anime will take, but i believe if it keeps developing its characters and storyline with its strong backstory, it will become very memorable and have a solid fanbase.

(SPOILER (I think))
the male protagonist doesn't stay useless forever >.< watch episode 3 onwards!!
