I went into this expecting a fairly decent series, and I got my wish, basically this is a retelling of Xenosaga Episode 1 following some of the plot and ending the same way as the first game, with some differences, like a certain side character surviving the Gnosis attack on the Woglinde, and the way several characters are already on the Elsa.

Keeping with the tone of the games, this is a fairly fun Scifi series with some drama added in, the animation is good, the music too.

I love how they made this series fresh to players of the games, even the final scene, but at the same time keeping the final climax from the games story in tact.

I fully recommend this series, although it has a new dub cast, it's really well done, and with it being 12 episodes long, could work if you want to marathon it.

I realise it may not be for everyone, but for the price on Amazon, it really is worth picking up and watching.

The series is good, but it seems like it would have been better at 24 episodes since it's pretty dense and doesn't cover everything in the game.

Note that this only covers the first game in the series.

It's good to have along side the game to help follow along with the extremely dense plot in the game.

First off I'm a huge fan of the video game series. In all the rpg games ive played in my life XENOSAGA is on the list of my favorite games an epic storyline amazing characters beautiful music its a dream. When I heard they made an animation I was skeptical but once i saw all 12 episodes I was very happy. The anime follows the game very well unlike most animes ive seen based off video games. Even the ending is intact. Some minor difference but nothing severe. The last anime ive seen based off a game was Star Ocean EX though I liked that series also I was dissapointed in the cheesy action scenes,Xenosaga makes up for that thankfully. To really apreciate this show you would have to be a fan of the series (which I am) other than that its a good series the voice acting is incredible and the emotion they put in it is authentic the only thing i wasnt crazy about was the opening sequence but no big deal. If your a fan of the series or just interested in a new series then this is your show hope you enjoy=)

This review is from my nephew: Not enough episodes or back story on the characters; but it had a good plot and pretty good artwork.
