The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Hiromatsu]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
On first look the new Anime Planet doesn't seem to have alot to
offer in terms of what it used to. The colors are almost blinding and
the 'Token' system which really was the defining character of the
mud a few years back has been replaced with a new reward system. A
character wipe also occured after most the major changes, doing away
with some of the player base including myself.
However, Anime Planet seems to have done alright for itself. It still
boasts thousands of rooms as well as more class/race combinations you
can shake a stick at. Not really a good choice for people with
decision making problems, since character design is an integral part
of playing, but very fun for someone who enjoys problem solving and a
bit of headbashing.
The combat system is nothing to scoff at either, since each race at
an evolved state can cast or use unique abilities, combined with more
than a hundred skills or spells per class, all very self explanatory.
But the fun I think, comes with the mobs and rooms. Since Anime Planet
is at heart a compilation of all things anime, you can find almost
every cartoon to be dubbed or subbed in game. Whether it's a freak
run-in with a half dog demon boy, or you stumble into an entire
cartoon series while doing a quest, if you have ever seen any anime,
you'll find it here.
