A review from IMDb.com:
Final Fantasy Unlimited, the previous comment was
made after watching only one episode, and he said
it was a terrible anime, personally i don't comment
on IMDb, but after hearing him rip into this i had to
act. Around a year ago i first watched "FFU", i was
blown away by it from the start. It has everything
you would look for and love from the final fantasy
series, and adds its own unique and great touches
along with a strong story. True the ending leaves
many unanswered questions but it leaves space for
a hopeful sequel. The story mainly focuses around
Ai and Yu a pair of twins searching for their parents
in an alternate universe known as wonderland. On
their journey alongside a young woman Lisa, they
repeatedly cross paths with a man without a name
who is searching for someone, one of the twins
affectionately refers to him as Kaze who wields
a powerful magic gun known as "MAGUN". While
they are constantly attacked by a group of people
for reasons unknown to them. I cannot highly
recommend this anime enough. If you consider
yourself a fan of the final fantasy games or are
a anime fan looking for something unusual this
is the anime for you ********(8) out of 10 - Ryan_E
