After murdering the righteous ruler Tentei, the evil Taishakuten seizes
control of the world. Legend says that a shimmering six-pointed star would
rise and restore peace and justice.
The six points being six warriors with great powers. These warriors would
supposedly band together and end Taishakuten's terrible reign.
At the moment, there are only five: Yasha, the enigmatic master swordsman;
Ashura, the mystical child; Ryuoh, the young warrior; Karura, the wise and
powerful queen; Sohma, the stealthy ninja. Together, they must find the sixth
star before Taishakuten overcomes them.
RG Veda Anime Review
I read that RG Veda is actually based on the Vedic scriptures known as the Rig
Vedas. I am not familiar with the Rig Vedas, thus I will proceed to review RG
Veda as I would any other anime.
RG Veda could've been a superb piece of work. The plot is pretty solid, the
characters have depth, and the art is exquisite. So what is wrong with this
picture? Well, after watching RG Veda in its entirety, I discovered that the
story had a dead end. Literally.
They found the sixth star at the last part of the second volume, and then
voila... the end credits started rolling in. Now what the heck was that about?
It didn't help that I found Ashura to be an irritating character.
As I mentioned, the art and animation are fantastic. RG Veda Clamp's distinctive
drawing style definitely shines through. Another positive feature is the
interesting sub-plot each character is given.
Still, I felt I wasted good money on this title. I mean, what's the point of
animating RG Veda if it's just going to be this two volume teaser?
