Chrome Shelled Regios

"Chrome Shelled Regios" is a 24 episode long anime that takes place in the post-apocalyptic earth were mutated creatures called Contaminoids now rule the earths surface and humans are forced to live in large mobile cities called Regios.  The story of "Chrome Shelled Regios" follows a man by the name of Layfon Alseif who has a shady past and yet is one of the more powerful humans around.  Not wanting anything to do with the Military Arts Layfon finds himself forced into the 17th Platoon and begins battling for his survival as well as the survival of his new city.

"Chrome Shelled Regios" is an anime that is original in its story line, however it takes a few episodes for the viewer to get a gasp on just what the heck is going on and even then there are parts of this anime that keep reappearing in each episode and are never fully explained.  Lack of explanation in the area of terminology is one thing but characters that just randomly appear and have no name or explanation with them at all is another.  However this anime does have a good story line behind it and the episodes very rarely veer away from the main plot especially in the later episodes.  Their is plenty of none stop action, character background digging, and random female on female groping....why not!!  Despite the random holes in the story due to lack of explanation and the time it takes to get the terminology of the show down, this is a none stop action anime with plenty of comedy relief and a climactic ending that will keep the viewer engaged till the very end.

Good:
-Action scenes are great
-Female on Female groping...nice!!
-Episodes stick to the story-line.
-Mysterious pasts of main characters get revealed little by little keeping the audience engaged.
-Climactic ending that makes the audience beg for more.
-Plenty of comedy strategically placed and randomly placed.

Bad:
-Random clips that happen every episode that are like a movie reel and are never explained.
-Some minor characters that keep reappearing are never fully explained.
-Love triangles are cool in an anime but 4 girls liking the same guy.....really.
-Fully of wtf moments but are then just accepted.

Scully Rating: 8 out of 10
