Yeeeow! Infinite Ryvius took me totally by surprise. It's a virtually unknown series that I discovered by mistake from mistyping a search on Kazaa. However, after all of this time of trying to download it, it was definitely worth it. There's not really much I can say without totally spoiling it because every episode is just totally packed with story. Not one episode is a filler episode.

One phrase that has been tossed around about Infinite Ryvius over the message boards is "Lord of the Flies... in SPACE!" That statement is certainly correct :)

The animation is nothing amazing, and occasionally it will drop in quality quite substantially. The animation outside of these infrequent occasions is actually pretty damn good. However, it's not my style to lower a score because of something as trivial as animation so you don't need to pay much attention to that.

Likes - Everything except for...
Dislikes - ...infrequent lapses in animation quality.

Oh Goodness!!! Infinite Ryvius ruled so much. What amazed alot about this anime is the character development that goes on throughout this whole anime. I've recommended this one to my friends, and they to can agree on me on this one. Infinite Ryvius is a rare jewel that reeks of awesomeness. Hurray for Infinite Ryvius.

'Lord of the Flies'...in space!- yes, I think that definitely gives one an idea of the story's style and depth. Another fantabulous part of this already uber shibby anime, are the characters. It's unfair to say that there's one main protagonist or even an antagonist. Infinite Ryvius plays to a whole gambit of characters who, shock and amazement to us all, are circular in personality. Infinite Ryvius gave us ROUND characters- alot of them.
The situation on board the Black Ryvius not only explore the 20 odd cast's reactions, but then how those reactions might bring about change in their personalities.
It was fabulous.
So, do yourself a favor and watch Infinite Ryvius. Although, as a warning, it might just spoil other highly rated anime for you, as few seem up to par with this particular one.
