Freezing: Complete Series (Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo)



Not for kids.
The show 'Freezing' is your typical science fiction anime with a splash of harem thrown in. The story is basically this: humanity is at war with extra-dimensional beings called NOVA. The world has no way of fighting them except with teenage girls (naturally). It focuses on Aoi Kazuya who transfers to a school called West Genetics Academy. Genetics Academy is basically a school for genetically enhanced girls called Pandoras & male students with an ability dubbed "Freezing" which can limit/restrict movement in the area they cast it on. Pandoras & their male partners, who are called "Limiters", are the only known way to combat the NOVA.

The story starts out with Aoi being shown around his new school during an annual event that consists of each & every Pandora (in their year) going at war with each other (almost killing each other) throughout the entire school. The main heroine, Satellizer (who is known as the Untouchable Queen & ranked 1 of her entire class), & another main...

Enjoyable Fan Service
This is a review of the blu-ray edition. First off, it is the uncensored version, so if you don't like bare breasts, look elsewhere. It is somewhat on the same level as the first season of Queen's Blade. I am a firm believer that even ecchi anime need a story line that holds together (as opposed to something like, say Master of Martial Hearts, which doesn't). The basic story line is that aliens are attacking, the only ones who can defend earth are girls with attack powers. Each girl has a guy with protection power(the Freezing in the title), which makes it different from other harems, where one guy attracts all the girls.

The heroine has awesome attack power, but due to a horrible upbringing (revealed later in the series), can't stand to be touched. The hero, of course is the only one that can touch her, much to her consternation. The girls in the academy spend most of the time fighting each other, but all pull together in the end when the aliens attack again. Lots of...

They Carry The Hopes And Dreams Of their Loved Ones
In the mid 2000's the Earth has been invaded by aliens called the Nova. Kazuya Aoi is the little brother of a war hero. His sister died fighting for the hopes and dreams of every person on Earth. Kazuya enters a school that trains young women and men to fight the Nova. He meets a girl named Satellizer el Bridgette. She has the same stigmata mark on her back as Kazuya's late sister. Underneath her cool exterior lies a gentle and shy side that she will only show to Kazuya. The 2 of them become partners and continue to fight to save the future.

This anime has a very generic story line. A boy meets a girl and they fight to save the world. The Nova are similar the to the Dolems in RahXephon, so there pretty cool looking. This series reminds me a lot of the Sekirei anime. Personally I liked Sekirei better. This anime also has a lot of fighting and nudity. So it's not for younger viewers. It is a very serious story. There is very little comedy if any at all. The animation,...
