Don't get me wrong, this is a very enjoyable show and it is still watchable. You will simply feel that they could have done so much better, the storylines of the FF games prove this.
The characters are interesting, if a bit predictable, and the story just about manages to keep you interested right up until the end. It just seems to be lacking that spark which makes the FF games so special.
The biggest surprise for me is that the budget appears to be ridiculously low for this show. Sure, the Demon Gun sequences and some other 3D scenes are flashy, but the overal animation if flat and severely lacks detail. For an anime based on the legendary Square-Enix franchise, one would expect higher production values than this.
The music is perfect for the show though. The catchy opening titles, the upbeat ending credit music, and the epic Demon Gun transformation theme... The music is one of the greatest aspects of the series.
It is possible that part of the enjoyment of this show is lost by having too great of an expectation.
The main redeeming feature is the lovable return of the Chocobos. I won't spoil the surprise, but there is a delightful transformation of the main Chocobo that makes me laugh every time I see it.
This IS a good anime... I just feel that it could have been better with a little more effort.
Advantages: Final Fantasy Summons Disadvantages: Summons are ugly
...about the anime - It's Final Fantasy!
So it's got to have some remnants of it.
it has got:
Good Plot: Yes (read above)
Summons - Yes, the traditional one's like Ifrit and Shiva but they're all so ugly compared to FF7 and FF10's summons
Chocobos - Yes, Very cute
Great Music - Definately i even bought the soundtrack and i don't usually do that
Likeable characters - Yes and No but good enough to sustain my interest for me to watch it till the ... ...and a combination of bullets to summon the summons were great.
Overall - Satisfactory
If your a fan of Final Fantasy Summons like me then i suggest that you watch it but don't get your hopes up because they are as good as the summons in Final Fantasy Tactics. ...

Advantages: superb storyline as usual, the penultimate FFU dvd and it begins to come to a close Disadvantages: quite expensive
the mind control device and save themselves, but who is this odd character. You'll have to watch it.
Overall : The DVD was about £19 but with this sort of DVD it can be hugely variable from store to store. The DVD also contains Voice actor commentary, production sketches, a 'FinalFantasy: Unlimited Style Guide, a reversible cover and a character booklet. This was originally Japanese but the dubbing is very well done and this makes it a very enjoyable DVD. As I said at the top it is quite an expensive DVD considering you only get 3 episodes, but i would reccomend it strongly as it is an excellent Anime series and well worth seeing at least once.
Happy Viewing ...
