Boy oh boy its been awhile since I have reviewed an anime. Anyways, Needless manages to have a sort of similar atmosphere as Gurren Lagaan. Its is both a comedy which of course dont get me wrong this anime is quite funny, and also an action anime. The sort of theme this is going for is on the right track to a really popular franchise, unfortunately ] this anime manages not to do much with the potential it had at one point but failed, miserably I might add. To make an incredibly long explanation short, this anime is fit to be like a long anime series like, 50+ or even more episode anime series, the main downfall is that Needless is way too short of a series, and with the limited number of episodes it has, this anime spends way too much time strategiesing in the fight scenes to the point where there is too much characters just standing in front of the bad guys for like 3 episodes before they actually fight. Honestly this habit gets really frustrating and too generic for its own good. sometimes there are entire episode that are just about planning strategies. Other than that the characters are quite enjoyable and the story is average at best. This is not a great anime, Needless really wanted to become something special. It had potential but it wounded up being needles at the very end.

Comment: World with supernatural abilities!! Guess I had too much of this kind of anime... But it doesn't mean that you should skip this one. I enjoy this one actually, and also the OP and ED song. And the art reminds be of Shaman King and Kamen no Maid Guy. The main character(Cruz) in this anime is just pure useless; the only thing he can only run errands and cry... "と言うか, お前 はこのアニメのレギュラーだったってことはもうびっくり~~~" (Anyway, you're actually this anime's main character, how shocking~~~)

Most hilarious, most GAR, most bad-assed characters, most inappropriately perverted anime I have ever seen without being "vulgar" or "obscene." This anime is so awesome it almost makes me wish the world really was a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

I see a line, I expected a thread - Needless

The original idea was centered around world after third world war, with the major capital cities having non-urbanized holes inside of them, created by nuclear bombs thrown by an unknown country which ended up creating mutated people with "superhuman" abilities.
All fine and dandy.

Needless , In a world where special types of people in the world have extraordinary vast abilities that can cause destruction or bring peace to the world. The black spot company wants to take Adam blade's body(main protagonist) because it is the Perfect King of Needless , Adam his clone was the beta version and is slowly breaking apart and having constantly nightmares and deteriorating thus needing his clone the "The Perfect Needless". The black spot uses many strategies to capture Adam Blade and even brainwashes their companion to try to capture Adam.


Every Needless has an impressive skill , but no needless can go past their mass unless something has been tampered in their body to go past the rule of their own mass. Rule 2 all needless can only have one power unless the exception of creating their own (Perfect Needless).

I did not enjoy how much little powers the anime gave me. It was about 20 characters or so... that means 20 powers and in the story its said more then millions of people have powers , so it was kinda like a let down not seeing as much powers then I thought I would be seeing.
