there are a few other games in the 'the tales of' series but only this and one other game was created into a anime.
it was jointly produced by Bandai visual, Nacomco and Sunrise. it was made up of 26 episodes that told the story of the game.
the 'tales of the abyss' was situated in a completely new world to ours were magic and mythical creature are seen as normal. the story line is typical to normal fantasy genre games. when the main character has a hidden past and then they meet other members which are all linked to the main characters hidden past, then the world is in danger and then, they save it.
some of the ways this anime was let down was because they tried to cram a hole game into 26 episodes so it felt a little rushed, also because of the short time some of the characters past weren't explained well so it was all confusing as to who was connected and did what to the other characters.
even though it had a typical plot were the world was in danger and then they save the world, the way in which they did it was very interesting and because of the fact that something was always happening so it kept my attention.
there wasn't any filler episodes so the story wasn't changed.
the characters in this anime/game were good. because personal i didn't find any of them annoying. like for example in some other animes the female charcter never fought and was always getting into trouble. but in 'tales of the abyss' one of the female characters was nearly dying but she would still fight.
all the characters had a interesting past and personality.
i also liked the way in which they made the main character act arrogant at the beginning of the anime but then make him change into a better person, as normally in other animes/games the main character is always portrayed as a good person that hasn't done anything wrong
overall i think that the storyline is interesting, the characters are lovable and believable. but the story was rushed as they tried to cram it into only 26 episodes
