Editorial Reviews

In Cruzon, children are born with the ability to control quartz. This power allows them to levitate simple objects-or control enormous and complex mobile battle suits called Golems. But when an ancient Golem is discovered during the height of a brutal war, a young king and his beautiful queen turn to Rygart Arrow. Though an "un-sorcerer", Rygart can miraculously pilot this ancient and powerful weapon. But in war, school friends can turn into bitter enemies and allies have suspicious motives. Strap yourself in, power up, and prepare for the heavy metal mecha action of Broken Blade!

What you are looking at here is such an anime. Each episode is literally a movie itself. The series was not released all at once in Japan but over many months. Very similar in that respect to Katanagatari.

How I would categorize this show is a dirty mecha. Mechs are not overly glamorized or well fashioned. Combat is brutal and they are not like others where they stand there and take punishment while looking cool. People do die and often in gory ways. While the camera cuts away on most of them, it leaves enough to the imagination where you'd know it would hurt.

The storyline itself is about an invasion based on a need for Quartz. So, in other words, resources. But there is a lot of background to the plot that may slightly confuse you if you spend too long thinking about it. Resources isn't the only reason they are invading. Most of the answers are revealed during the course of the other films. A lot of bad blood has taken place between the nations and what makes it worse is that you have generations growing up believing lies and false history spread by the governments. You'll see this many times in the story.

However, you will get to see both sides in the conflict, but it does favor the defender's position. Each of the characters involved have their own tale and despite focusing on the defenders more, you will get to see some of the other side. Enough to find characters you like on both fronts. Many backgrounds interconnect in this way.

Overall, you'll find a great series here that gives mech combat more of a gritty feel. This series does have an ending, but it is open enough that you will hope they make more in the future. Which would be a blessing to the anime world if they made more.

5.0 out of 5 stars a mechwarriors dream come true June 25, 2012
Format:DVD
For anyone out their who wished their was a mechwarrior movie out their look know further then this film collection. I really enjoyed this 6 part movie their is good story good charactor development the story starts with a boy named rygod he gets summoned by the king of his nation to pilot a new mecha that he uncovers but it also turns out that he and the king and queen are good friends. One thing i would like to say is that i'am so glad that hollywood is not the only choice for movie making. The japanese film industy and the indepentent film industies can also make really good films as well. through it seems that indie films have gotten more popular it would be nice to see more people give them a chance. Because they do not know what their missing

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary Mini-Series March 20, 2013
By The Wiz
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Broken Blade is an engaging tale of epic warfare and its effect on the bonds of friendship, representing an excellent fusion of sci-fi/fantasy spread over 6 mini-movies and features: unique characters in iconic mecha-suits fighting titanic battles set against a stunningly beautiful Arizona-esque landscape, exceptional musical score with distinctly classical influence ranging stylistically from Baroque to modern and overall fine performances for English-dubbed voice acting. I just wish Production I.G./Xebec would make more episodes but thankfully part 6 is open-ended so potentially it could easily continue. *crosses fingers*

By far the best mecha-suit Anime I've ever watched reminding me very much of Escaflowne. :o)

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing
I saw the first episode online and just had to get the entire series from here. It is great. It lasts 6 episodes, and it does a whole lot with it. I will definitely re-watch this.
