Summary:

 

 This book has a lot of fantastic, well thought out content. The down side to it is that is a completely new rule system that will require you and your DM to put some considerable time reading to get everything down pat. Also, I don’t think this book is for every gaming table. I can see it appealing to a huge chunk of the younger fans who want to add that Anime flare to the game. I really like the system. A lot of people are concerned that it could be overpowered. I can see room for abuse of the system, but will have to give it some game play to find out.  More pages is always a welcome addition to a book. I am very happy though with this purchase.

 

Overall Rating: 9/10

 

-Note from Richard

   I read this book and absolutely came to love it.  In fact I was reading through with the intention of writing a review when Quithion wrote his!  I think its a fascinating new rule supplement and look forward to trying out how they work in real tabletop play, my sample character can be viewed here. :)
