Review Links "...this is well done tragic shoujo anime, with complex characters and interesting stories."Akemi's Anime World (Marc Marshall) - 3.5 (out of 5)  "The animation is capable and the writing is interesting albeit episodic and perhaps trying a touch too hard to go for the heart. "Anime Meta-Review (Andrew Shelton) - watchable Vol. 4 - "... it just isn't the kind of anime that truly achieves greatness."Anime News Network (Christopher McDonald) - B+  "Unless you're a fan of the manga or just really love bad anime, avoid this show."Anime on DVD (Chris Beveridge) - D "The characters are bland, the pacing is a drag, and the plot is a mess."Animetric (Rowena Lim Lei) - 1 1/2 stars (out of 5) Vol. 1 - "...prettily animated but spottily plotted melange of weird religious pastiche and lackluster action, given weight by a pinch of comparative philosophy."Science Fiction Weekly (Tasha Robinson) - B- "In the end, I just found I didn’t care. "T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews (Jeremy A Beard) - 2 stars (out of 5) Ep. 1 - "For Earthian fans, it makes for a fun watch and interesting side story to the manga." (Jane Nagatomi) - 3 stars (out of 5) Ep. 2 - Read the review (Jane Nagatomi) - 2 stars (out of 5)The Anime Cafe "…despite some glaring problems, I found EARTHIAN to be a thoughtful, intelligent, tragic show that I enjoyed much more than I expected."The Anime Review (Jason Huff) - B |
