Review: World Break – Aria Of Curse For A Holy Swordsman

By: Robert Prentice
Funimation World Break

Moroha Haimura isn’t your typical teenager. In fact, he’s quite unique compared to his fellow classmates at the high-profile Akane Academy. Along with other gifted students, he trains as a “Savior” where he will learn to harness his special inherited mystical powers from a former life. However, unlike his peers, Moroha not only has one past life, but two! This means he can command both the Dark Arts of spell magic and the Light Arts of the body itself.

Because of his rare talents, he quickly climbs the ranks to join the “Strikers,” an elite group of Saviors at the academy. With the other Strikers at his side, Moroha must protect the fate of the world against giant, evil beasts—all while juggling the hearts of the jiggly girls constantly vying for his affection. With each battle, Moroha learns more and more about his two heroic past lives and the powers hidden within.

Magic, reincarnation and fan service sum up this series from start to finish. If I were to give you an equivalent example of a series this is like think Date A Live’s cousin. Our protagonist Moroha Haimura has 2 past lives, unlike his classmates who only have one. So what does that mean? That means he has 2 girls from his past who go after him right form the start. One was his sister in a former live, who now wants to date him. The other was his wife.

World BreakThe series is only 12 episodes and by the time you get to the end, the plot is rather boring and slow. The main plot just doesn’t seem all that important and nobody really cares if we get any answers, including me as the viewer. The show also has some fairly common troupes that you find in slice of life/fanservice type anime. This includes the evil Russian empress who wants Moroha dead. Why does she want him dead? Why not?

At the end of the day, if you are looking for something to laugh at, with nice animation and some fight scenes, World Break might work out for you. The fan service is border line at times. I would give the anime a C overall. You can pickup your copy over on Amazon.com now.
