This has been on my list of show to watch for a while now. Having completed it, I would say it was a lot of fun. It's nothing deep nor is it anything overwhelming original. It's just fun. Fun can go a long way though. The art and animation are unremarkable, though far from bad. The story is quite thin and simplistic. It rids on humor, some of which can be hit and miss. There's a lot here that isn't at all great. Regardless, I'd still give it an 8 just because the characters and the humor when it does work make it a silly, funride. The characters here are quite likable. The main character is rather annoying at first, but he does seem to grow through it all and become increasingly likable. His traveling companions are more immediate. Princess Escarlate is wonderfully deadpan and amusing. Her knight Sanglain is serious and likable, while still crazy enough to provide good laughs. Mariandale is probably the best character the series has, having a great design, fun personality and being at times a surprisingly grounded and positive example of a transgendered character in a purposefully dumb shounen comedy anime. Rival Erecpyle and his subordinate team Incognito meanwhile offer big on comic mischief and are always fun to watch. All the while the party comes across minor characters who are sometimes equally crazy and fun. It's an appealing cast. The humor is focus here, and as humor is a subjective thing, it's what could potentially curtail enjoyment of the show. Ixion Saga's humor is very stupid, irreverent and often immature. As audacious as it sometimes gets, it can be worth quite a few good laughs if you're willing to laugh at that kind of humor. Don't go in expecting particularly smart comedy though. If you have no use for silliness and willful stupidity, you will not find anything of value here. For those of us who do enjoy watching something just kind of silly and dumb at times though, Ixion Saga is a solid and rewarding pick.

Recommended if you're in the mood to "LAUGH YOUR BALLS OFF" (A pun you'll all understand if you watch this show!) As I am beginning to write this review for any person interested in watching this FANTASTIC anime, I finished the last episode ten minutes prior. Being truthful, I am a big Sword Art Online fan, but the amount of people who are comparing anime that involve a virtual reality or some sort of relation to gaming to Sword Art Online is ridiculous, which is why I'm making this review completely unrelated to Sword Art Online, including Accel World which is also made by the same personwho made Sword Art Online. Story The story of Ixion Saga DT is about a teenage boy who was transferred to another world, like a game. Before he was transferred, he was the strongest player on an MMORPG game he was in a boss fight on, then suddenly being caught off guard and losing to the boss, he met a beautiful woman who asked for his help, what he didn't expect was she was a strange being who transported him to an alternate world called Mira, then his journey began with a few others he met by coincidence, where he became a servant to a princess, in order to save the world, they have to fight. (The second girl he travels with that has green hair is a strange one, believe in me! You'll be in for a treat with this one!) Art The art style of this show is great, the reason why I say this is because it's not incredibly defined like most anime are today, the animators didn't spend too much time worrying about how impressive the art was, thus some parts were sloppy, but what FASCINATES me is that the colors and effort they put in to every little detail was MIND BLOWING! This is another reason why I loved every episode to this anime! Sound Although I say everything is truly remarkable with this anime, the only issue I found with the anime was some parts of certain episodes were a bit off, I would give an instance but I couldn't really bring myself to spoil such a masterpiece, the sound was still enjoyable, that's what matters! Character OH. MY. GOD. The character development that the team that worked on this show seriously put amazing effort in!!! The different types of personalities that each character's have is crazy! I could even say that this anime may possess one of the best character development I've ever seen! Not just the personalities are strongly different to each other, but the characteristics and actions each character has and presents in certain situations is great, I loved every single character, no matter how evil or heroic they were, or even idiotic! (trust me, there's a lot of idiots in this show, the main one being the male protagonist!) Enjoyment ? If only there was a better word to describe how enjoyable something was other than the word "enjoyment" itself! I've been on a long spree of anime recently, I didn't think I could find much better anime than things I've previously watched (which is a lot of anime!) but sweet mama.. Was I wrong. Overall ? I want to solely declare that this anime is perhaps one of the best anime ever created.. Seriously. More so, I want to thank the people who put their time and effort in creating this masterpiece, personally. The amount of LAUGHTER I had in every episode of this show was crazy! I had trouble breathing (for real, I have asthma!) -- So yes, thank you so much for this anime. This anime, personally I'd say is the.. FUNNIEST ANIME OF ALL TIME WINNER -- Awarded by iAkali. (I'm doing "Awards" for anime that I find are worthy of such, also opening a YouTube channel for reviews so I can give a much better review with visual aspects. I will be talking to someone in hopes of YouTube Partnership and the such. I definitely recommend this anime to anyone who loves to laugh!)
