Anime - Melody of Oblivion Review

anime melody of oblivion

Finally finish the series of anime lasting 24 episodes - Melody of Oblivion

Well, for some people 24 episode can be finished in 3-4 days, while for me, it took an estimation of 3 weeks. I only watch anime if only i am eating at home. In this case, i am usually sitting at the front of the PC.

Short introduction
The storyline took place after the 20th century after a monster vs human war which the monsters merged victorious. While most of the time, monster seldom appear in the society and those human who lived through the war are aware of the existence of monsters, while for the human / children who were borned after that, they will not be aware.

And of course, monsters eat human. Selected humans which are called Meros warriors, with certain tattoos, are on a mission to kill the monsters and their agents (human who are helping the monsters), on motebikes called inver machines or aiba machines to kill them off using their bows and arrows after enchanting them with special powers.

And meros warriors are "blessed" by the melody of oblivion, who acts as their god.

The story focus on Bocca, with his ivermachine, travels with a girl called sayoko to slay the monster and monster union members along the way.


The anime will not make any sense when you are watching the first few episodes as the story line, other additional characters are drawn with a unique style. The story line is unlike the typical animes which provides a direct storyline



In the episode, Bocca saves a town by slaying the monster union agent. But by slaying the agent, the revenue of the town is "slayed" as the agent helps to bring in tourists to their area. How? watch it yourself.

Watching melody of oblivion gives me a final fantasy feeling as some parts of the story line fits in with FF and the sound effect, music have an FF feel to it.

As with all animes with fighting scenes, whenever the hero whipped out his special killing skill, there will always be the special effect scenewhich we definitely will get sick of watching, and this anime is not different from the rest.

Other than Bocca, the special effect scenes of the remaining 2 female meros warriors are a bit... special! Watch it yourself again :)



It does teaches us something about life too. In the 2nd or 3rd episode which is about fog, it teaches us that,it does not pay to poke your nose into other people business.
