SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! “I watched Broken Saints. The DVD of it was the cheapest purchase I made on eBay at just $1.38. That, the Brand New condition, and the intriguing logline were signs I was in for something epic. I was speechless throughout it as I was hooked till the last panel. The motion comic brought the story to life by providing it with spectacular art, effects, and visuals. The year it was released (in 2001) also contributed to its uniqueness. The story was nicely paced and structured and I was baffled when other reviewers called it boring and slow. Contrarily, the slowness let the characters live in the moment, reflect on what happened to them, and showed their progress of getting where they needed to be. The characters were all three-dimensional and had distinct voices. My favorites were Raimi for his relatability and witty dialogue and Oran for his accent, composure, and physique. Shandala and Kamimura were also great characters and I was sad when they sacrificed themselves to save the world. I expressed several emotions during the series as they ranged from curiosity and excitement to fear and panic. The beginning and end quotes of the episodes neatly symbolized their plots and themes. I was aghast at the lack of publicity the series had and was determined to give it more recognition. Broken Saints outranked Take Down as my favorite media of the year and increased my interest in miniseries.“
