Super Cliche

"The story-line and characters of this anime are incredibly cliche. If they make one more anime about Japanese high school student reincarnations of ancient warriors with elemental super-powers, I think the world might explode. You have the hot-headed main character with light powers (so obviously, his ongoing enemy will have shadow powers, duh), the niave and spunky girl character, etc. This anime also pulls a big no-no by having two of the main girl characters purple-haired so you can't even tell them apart. The only reason I'm not giving this show 1 star is because there are some cool moments during the battle scenes. One of the enemies is a giant black dot and before you can make jokes about how pitiful the budget must have been, you appreciate how cool the darn thing looks as it cut through buildings, swallowing people up."

Like having your time wasted?

"Wow, very disappointing. The character development is extremely weak, the action is mediocre, the plot is convoluted and the whole thing leaves you with "who cares" echoing through your brain until you want to scream. I've seen over 100 DVD's worth of anime and this one I can truly say is the worst. If you have seen anything decent like Bebop, Trigun, Escaflowne, X - tv series, Evangelion, or Full Metal Panic then you will HATE this. Once you've seen anime that people actually took pride in making you will never be able to stomach the likes of 10 Tokyo Warriors. Don't waste your valuable time and money."

Wretched.

"Complete waste of time. The storyline revolves around "reincarnated warriors" who have a Great Mission to defeat a Great Evil while keeping up their high school lives, and so forth. Except there's never any real detail given about these past lives, or what makes them so special. The characters are all stereotypes, with pretentious "Warrior" names. ('Warrior of Mirrors', 'Warrior of Light', and it just goes downhill from there.)

Calling the characterization 'cardboard' would be great praise. The art is terrible, the dialogue is worse--either sub or dub--and the plot is contrived. Even the trailers for other animes are terrible. There is a continutity gap between disc one and disc two that is never closed, which pretty much nukes any pretense this thing had to a plot.

If you like pointless explosions and meaningless fight scenes, that may raise this DVD set above glorified coaster status for you. Otherwise, skip this one. It's much too much money to spend on something of this poor quality."

Actually, I rate it zero.

"Disjointed. Unimaginative. Poorly written. Very poor voice acting and dubbing. Although it wasn't the dubbing so much as the scripting. The fight and action scenes were not very good. Or was it the weapons and/or the powers of the warriors? You know how a series will have good tunes for opening and closings and then they change to not so good in the middle? Well this series starts out with "not so good". And all this for only 44 bucks! WOW!!! Kind of reminds me of how disappointing Saiuki Reload was after Double Barrel when Geneon took over from ADV except this is'nt a sequel. It's like alot of bad action movies where some rich guy wants to give his, not so talented, kid a chance to break into the entertainment busuness and comes up with another "loss leader" for tax write-offs. I didn't buy it. I borrowed it and after two episodes, I couldn't think of a reason to watch anymore. I enjoy, almost, all Anime. I love it! I own 200+ collections of all types and my advice is...don't waste your money!"
