Z/X: Ignition

Z/X: Ignition is another anime series based on a card game, even though it does not present the game, such as Yu-Gi-Oh!. It offers a narrative with some characters and cards from the original game. In the not-too-distant future, the story takes place when five black holes suddenly appear in Japan. Various monsters started pouring out of them because these holes are actually portals to different dimensions. The goal of each dimension has become the destruction of the other four, and to this end, they are aided by the local population and a device resembling a playing card. Well, as it happens, the nondescript main male protagonist, who has only the best intentions, becomes the owner of one such card and gets a pretty winged lady as his partner (he catches the card). With her help, he tries to intervene in the fight around him and makes friends out of enemies. It is a pretty good mash-up of angels, robots, various mythical creatures, and mythological characters. It is also full of all sorts of clichés and rather predictable twists. It was fun to watch, and while it was not very entertaining, it was not offensive. In other words, it is worth 3/10 because I finished it intact. (01.12.2014)
