OH Lordy!! Where to begin with this one? We really should reconsider whether or not this piece is a work of animation or is it just a story told via picture slideshow.......because this really could be considered a slideshow and not animation—Anyway that's how I will categorize it, otherwise I can't watch it. The art is pretty and there are some decent hi-tension action scenes but overall the story isn't compelling enough. If you're like me and are an avid fan of [Japanese] ART, guerrilla tactic or low budget student art films or just crazy for the bishounen, then watch this show [all 12 eps. Add up to little over an hour long] otherwise don't waste your time.

Legend of Duo... ok i'm not a big fan of vampire/gothic animes but i gave this anime a try since i really liked the character design and it's only 5 minutes long and easy to download... My conclusion? it stinks, there's no other way to put it.

Animation:
The animation looked promissing from the few screenshots I've seen, yes the character design is beautiful, but then again that's about it, there is almost no movement in this anime exept for the mouths of the characters as the rest is just made up out of static images connected in an unprofessional way.

Sound:
Horrible voice acting that's forced and rushed and unprofessional, probably the worst voice acting ever, or at least close to it... the background music is made up of techno music, what techno music in an anime about vampires? isn't that unaproppiate? well not only that but it also sounds horrible every time.

Story:
The story? The basic plot is really stupid, vampires protecting humans from their own destruction, probably another twist to the old tale and Bram Stoker would twist in his grave... the flow of the story is even worse as it is rushed, hyper-fast-paced and throws pieces of the story without actually connecting them.

Characters:
The characters are clyche and beyond stupid, ok the characters might be moderate but the horrible voice acting and the rushed story doesn't give them much of a chance.

So in my opinion this anime should be avoided at all costs.. however I have to say that Torcida's point of view about Legend of Duo beeing a "fluid manga and not an anime" is very interesting and realistic, but it still can't make me watch it.

This anime rocks(in a way).

This is definately something different from what we have seen in the anime world.

It has good techno like music, very bad animation and not that good of storyline. But in the ca. 5 min. of anime it is very direct with its meanings. Makes you wanna know what will happen in the next episode.

LoD is more of a manga comic book on TV than a fluid anime we see these days.
This brings a diffrent dimension on viewing a anime. And i liked it.

So if you are bored with fluid anime that keeps on going for hours and hours or dont feel like reading a manga. Than this may be your "fast" solution.
