After playing Arc the Lad Collection, I was eager to
watch the anime to see what it would be like. Well, it was disappointing. Not
only is the ending incomplete, many cast members were not even shown, such as
Diekbeck (well, he was half shown), Gruga, Sania and NONE of Chongara's summons.
This was very disappointing for me. But anyways, the story is about Elc and how
he escaped from the mysterious "White House". The White House had kidnapped
him because he knew how to use the power of the flame. He was saved by the famous
Hunter Shu, and later grew up to be a well known Hunter. On one of his jobs, he
encounters Lieza and saves her from being kidnapped by strangers. They later continually
run away from them, until they meet Arc. In the end I felt the story went too
slow, then at half way through, the last 13 episodes were rushed. If you have
played the entire game, I'm not sure if you will like it, but those who haven't
may find this anime rather enjoyable.
