Reviews Manga / Edens Zero

Plot Twists and the characters' origins interests me

• • I find this series to be entertaining for its space themed adventure. I initially did not want to watch this show because I had accidentally thought that this was a sequel to Fairy Tail because of its similar art style, and that it would spoil the plot of Fairy Tail. It turns out I was wrong, it is a completely different series when I had read/watched it. The first episode's twist completely caught me off guard with Shiki's robot friends' fake betrayal and the introduction to its space themed adventure. The more I saw about the characters, I was getting invested in their backstories and interactions.

• • I got invested in Hermit's character because of her belief of Humans Are Bastards and Dr. Muller's horrible betrayal. I wanted to see if they would meet again, and I enjoyed their reunion, with Hermit declaring that she is not afraid of him. Laguna's relationship with the princess, made me saddened for him and I was starting to feel interested in him during the Aoi Cosmos arc. The plot twist of Ziggy's character caught me off guard, to the point that I had wished I had not checked Ziggy's profile and get spoiled. The moment where the series really hooked me was Drakken Joe's arc with the Eden's Zero crew, because it was what convinced me to read the manga

• • The only problems I have with this series is that the Fanservice is interrupting the serious moments. I can tolerate fanservice as long as the serious tone of the plot is not detracted. I also want to other side characters of the Edens Zero crew to have more character development and interactions. Other than that, I find this series to be entertaining.
