| No surprise - humans destroyed themselves yet again, though this time they've lucked out and had some space colonies on moon ready for evacuation. Earth is done for and the new page of history of humanity is about to turn... Or at least that is what the colonies on moon are led to believe. Is the earth truly destroyed to the point where no ways of revivification are possible? Or is it just a propaganda by the leaders of the moon trying to gain independence from the earth? Well, one person finds out the truth, and it's your job to keep an eye on his journey.
Freedom's story is exceptionally well made for a show as short as it is - only eight standard episodes. Nonetheless, it packs an idea, an interesting world and enough adventures to keep anyone watching entertained. Characters aren't bad either, even though the majority of depth is put into the story, the guys in this anime manage to remain entertaining, if not too original. The most peculiar thing about this show, however, is its 'out of a box' animation, which had definitely cost a lot of money. Much detail is put in the gimmicks of the people's faces and their, err, idle movements. Unlike most of anime - characters never stop moving in this show. When one is talking others are moving, fixating their eyes on different things, scratching and so on... It certainly adds a great deal of realism to the show (and lots of maintenance costs I bet). I guess that's why they rushed to pack up a story which spans for three or so years in eight episodes.
If you're up for a quick watch and want to see some original, peculiar animation, accompanied by a simple idea and simple story - go for Freedom. It's not a masterpiece, it's not great, but it's a good change of pace if you are not up for watching something brainstorming.

| At first i was a little unsure about watching this, since the animation was CGI/Cell-shaded (something i disliked since Appleseed).
But i decided to give it a go. And man, am i happy i did so. I found it to be one of the most enjoyable rides i've had in a long time.
From animation and sound, to characters and storyline.

| i watched upto ep 3. the main reason i wanted to review this is to tell the world that this anime has one of the best music/sound effects i have ever heard. this is what made the anime so enjoyable to me. crank up the volume and enjoy! the story is nothing spectacular and the characters are well done. the animation is very reminiscent of akira and thats to be expected. so if you didnt like that, you may not like this. but the sound is where this anime stands out. give it a try.
