At first this Anime was long gone from my top 10 Anime's. It was good, I liked it ever since the first episodes. This is because Xam'd: Lost Memories really knows how to make itself enjoyable. Putting in effort into the Animation at the correct times; and not doing so at the correct times also.

However, due to some issues I was unable to see Xam'd: Lost Memories for a while. Then, when two newer episodes came out, I was honestly surprised. The Animation was fluid and looked outstanding, the story was becoming more and more of a build-up, which fits the story perfectly fine. That's because a lot of things still need to be explained. The drama in between sure got me seated at the front of my seat (especially a special son -scene in episode 13), it was terrific.

Not just that, the music adds up to it and is pretty great. They use a lot of basic sounds; which sucks. But when the music starts kicking in, oh boy, you'll be dragged in!

But what really got me the most is the cast. For one, the main protagonist is much more like your everyday guy. He's not quiet, he doesn't cry and he doesn't acts like a wimp (heck, a lot of Anime guys act like wimps). But he, Akayuki, though not liked all the time, sure is a fascinating character. The main cast is what interest me the most, and what adds to this story the best.

They aren't original, they aren't exceptional: but yes, they are incredibly fascinating and add something to the story every episode. I love it, I just love!

In the years I've watched Anime, I've only given a few Anime's a 9 in overall rating. Never have I given a ten however, and an 8 is already exceptional with me. However, Xam'd, even though it's not finished yet.. deserves a big fat 9 from my part. It just, becomes even better the more you watch it. And I have great expectations of this Anime, I just hope I won't have to come back on my words.

Watch it, bare with it.. and you'll be dragged into liking it as well. Because even though it isn't 'that' original; it still is one of those Anime I will definitely enjoy watching and that makes me sit at the edge of my seat
