It’s hard to rate this series because it’s a collection of five short stories. The only links the stories have is the Phoenix, and the immortal bird of account tends not to play a tall role in any of the stories, often unprejudiced being in the background watching the events unfold.

Some of the stories last for four episodes, others one. Some of the stories win area in the past, others in the future. Some of the stories involve battles between Gods, others focus on battles against nature. There’s almost too remarkable variation.
The first, four episode sage is probably the best of the lot - it flowed well from episode to episode, despite there being a lot of twists. It started with a man washing ashore somewhere, getting captured by a tribe and needing to keep the life of a woman to achieve himself from being executed. The focus then switched to an Apocalypto style raid on the tribe by another country. It then switched yet again, this time to a father and son type of account where one of the invaders raised one of the few survivors of the raid as his believe. And, during all this, the epic kept switching encourage to the man who washed ashore trying to survive with the woman from the tribe he saved at the inaugurate, with them ended up trapped in a cave and left to the mercy of nature.

Out of all of the stories, the was the most intelligent. I found myself struggling to care about a lot of the characters included in the series, with some taking drastic actions without any staunch development having occurred, but in the opening account it was easy to care about the ‘father’ and ’son’ who tried to survive during times of war. My only trusty complaint about it is that the Phoenix might as well have not even been in this anecdote at all. It did nothing other than win hunted on and off a few times. If the Phoenix had played a more critical role, like it does in later stories, I could understand its involvement, but it was unprejudiced there for no proper reason. The messages of the first tale are that death is a portion life that must be current and that war is pointless, neither message needing the Phoenix to be expressed.
The second narrative occurs in space; on the moon. That’s true - a jump from the faded past to the far future.
The fable takes region during a time where the Earth has died and the remnants of the human hasten have escaped to location. At some point after their rush, some humans on the moon discovered the Phoenix, which has the power to give life, and they managed to bag one of its tail feathers. Research on the feather took status on the moon, and one of the men in charge was on the verge of idea it when an ‘accident’ occurred, resulting in the destruction of the lab and the death of most in it. Apt before the researcher died, he was attempting to do a female friend from falling to her death, her last words being “You traitor…”
After the opening described above, the myth snappy caught my interest. The researcher who died had been revived after the ‘accident’, half of his brain having been replaced by a machine. When he awakened, he couldn’t distinguish one human from another - they all looked like distorted monsters to him - and he had no memories of his past. However, he discovered shortly after awakening that robots appeared to be living organisms to him, with one robot in particular looking like a woman, resembling the woman who called him a traitor before his death. Shortly after discovering his current ‘female’ friend, he runs away from the humans with the robot, escaping to the lab that was destroyed at the inaugurate.
I liked the second narrative a lot. It wasn’t as consuming as the first, mainly because it only lasted for two episodes, but the account was absorbing. It was basically a tale of redemption, where one man had to moral his past mistakes by living on. If there’s one thing that’s suggested a lot in each yarn included, it’s that, rather than being a blessing, immortality is a curse; a punishment that must be endured.
What follows the above is the only one episode legend in the entire series. Wait On in weak times once more after the leap into the future of the second chronicle, this time around the narrative was about a woman killing a healer in order to prevent the healer saving her father. As a punishment for killing the healer, the Phoenix forces the killer to hold on the role of the healer she killed, trapping her and taking her abet in time. In order to form amends, she must allow herself to be killed by herself and hope that, at some point, the the cycle of life and death stops. It was a decent anecdote but, compared to what went before, it wasn’t gargantuan and it didn’t have the length required to manufacture me care a colossal deal.
The next yarn switched attend to the four episode formula the series opened up with. This time around, detached somewhere in the past, a member of the royal family of some clan or another gets the face of wolf set aside on him after having his enjoy face scalped. He awakens sometime afterwards to peek what has become of his face and, eventually, heads east to another country in order to try to pick up his dilapidated face benefit after being informed that his future will be brighter if he does so by an used woman who can predict such things.
I liked the fourth fable but never really got into it. The back-story of “Dogface” is never explained in detail, and I was left mystified with regards to what exactly lead up to him getting captured and losing his face. Likewise, I didn’t gather how the wolves face became his hold, mouth movements and all. The only thing that came across definite as day was the message of the legend, the message being that no religion is legal or wrong; only the people themselves are irascible. Despite it lasting for as long as a movie, I felt the memoir needed more time, or at the very least needed powerful better explanations.
What really bothered me was the cherish anecdote aspect of the fourth myth. One of the many ‘Gods’ of the nation in the east fell for Dogface at first peek, never even having a conversation with him before deciding to follow him. She also risked her life for him without powerful chatter between the two. Their relationship never came across as a trusty because not enough time was assign into it by the author and/or the animation studio. And the extinguish of the sage made miniature sense, with her leaving Dogface randomly, Dogface randomly getting his face support and the two seemingly ending up support together, despite Dogface losing his memory for some reason.
Moving onto the final, two episode record, the memoir once again took region in the distant future, impartial like the second tale did. In the future depicted in the last narrative, humans had moved under the surface of the Earth in an attempt to survive after life could no longer be lived above ground. One scientist (Saruta), however, stayed above ground in an attempt to solve of the mystery of life in order to put the earth. He tried and tried to build life, always falling short. When he was on the verge of giving up, the Phoenix appeared before him and told him that a miracle would occur. It turned out that the miracle would be a young man who arrived at Saruta’s lab after escaping from the underground cities because his companion - an alien shapeshifter - wasn’t allowed to exist. He ended up getting shot and killed by someone who followed him. The miracle occurred when the Phoenix allowed him to drink her blood and made him immortal.
Following these events, every other life on Earth died, leaving the young man alone. It was then that he realized the correct damage of loneliness, with nothing to do and no-one to talk to. For billions of years he lived alone in a wasteland, unable to die. He was eventually rewarded by being able to witness the rebirth of the world as it began anew and the cycle of life started over.
For me, the message of this final chronicle wasn’t very certain. Why wasn’t the man simply allowed to die, instead being forced to suffer the damage of loneliness? If I had been in his shoes, seeing the world restart wouldn’t have been enough to design up for billions of years of boredom. The main message of Phoenix - that immortality is a curse - came across well in the last anecdote, but it tranquil seemed a bit pointless compared to the earlier stories.
If you’re aloof with me after reading the descriptions of all five stories and my thoughts, I’m clear you’ll understand the wretchedness of reviewing this title. On one hand, it’s far more meaningful than most series out there and has none of the “moe” elements that plague anime based on a lot of the more original stories. The mangaka clearly had some notable messages about life he wanted to whisper and did so as best he could. But, on the other hand, the series is all over the location because of the variation between each fable, and I wouldn’t call any of the stories included polished. The stories were released in manga develop a long time ago and, compared to the character development and the like in more novel anime, the age of some of of the stories shows. Depending on how you view at it, Phoenix is either very flawed or luminous because it avoids the holes stories from our age drop into time and time again.
In terms of the visuals, Phoenix is very nice to explore at. Someone on Amazon described the art/animation as being something he imagined Disney coming up with after “going on a bender”, but I don’t judge that’s an insult when we’re talking about an anime TV series. The character designs are rather cartoony, with characters having Stout noses and the like, but it looks very nice. It’s different than most art nowadays, but not in a abominable contrivance. The worst thing you can say about the art is that the character designs of the characters in the five stories are mostly very similar, the recurring character Saruta always having the same gigantic nose and stumpy scrutinize. The animation was stunning, too - whenever there was action, it flowed magnificent well. There were some nice fight sequences in the fourth tale.
I can’t really comment on the music because, honestly, I can only remember the orchestral opening. Since I’ve only unprejudiced finished watching the series (well, last night…), that doesn’t say a lot generous about the soundtrack. But, although I can’t remember any fantastic tracks, I can’t say I remember any poor music, so I protest the soundtrack was simply superior without being incredible.
To sum it up, I’m jubilant I watched Phoenix, ignoring the fact it isn’t highly rated and isn’t a name known to many. It isn’t like any of the other anime I’ve watched, and that’s why I respect it. I’ve watched a ton of anime that have no messages; series that were made objective to attach something on TV - Phoenix isn’t one of those series. And like an IGN reviewer is quoted as saying on the befriend of the box status, Phoenix has a quality that keeps viewers crooked, preventing them from leaving until the kill. In an age where I’m musty to constantly checking my DVD timer to look how worthy longer an episode has left to rush, Phoenix was a breath of unusual air. It’s far from perfect, and it isn’t something I’m willing to net too highly, but it’s definitely a series I’m proud to acquire on DVD, and one I’d recommend to those tired of all the “moe” rubbish going around.
Phoenix: 8.5/10
One last thing (unbiased!) : I STRONGLY recommend you, the random reader who has somehow survived to this point, recognize into getting the box spot. I imported the box region for a lowly sum of £13.99 from PlayUSA, and I’m obvious Americans can gain it for even less. The box position is made up of a thin box and three book-like cases, which are basically hardback book covers with plastic stuck on to own the discs. For what is a budget station, getting these original cases - which I haven’t seen ancient before - is a major plus point. The case covers are even reflective, making the dwelling appear even more expensive than it really is.
