The Xenosaga Anime is overall pretty weird and partly doesnt know what it wants to be. Despite its problems I still kind of like it. Firstly the Anime adapts the events of Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht though with that it isnt totally faithful and makes some weird changes to the overall story. In addition to the different English Voice Actors opposed to Episode I the Anime is kind of distracting and weird for Fans of Xenosaga. But the anime is also not really suitable for people who have no experience before with Xenosaga because you certainly wouldnt understand a lot of whats happening if you were to only watch the Anime. Also considering the kind of weird changes in the overall story its also not really an alternative to the game Xenosaga Episode I. Though these changes were certainly made because of the shorter runtime of the anime. Xenosaga Episode I has 7 hours worth of Cutscenes and with a 12 episodes long anime which has per Episode a length of 20 minutes its not possible to adapt the whole story of the game. I really dont understand why the Anime was made this way. It doesnt help in brining in more new fans to Xenosaga and more confuses them but its also not really made for already existing fans. Thats why I think Xenosaga The Animation doesnt know what it wants to be. One aspect I really love about Xenosaga: The Animation is definitely the opening and ending song. Those are at least in my opinion fantastic. https://youtu.be/E18xoJu7mK0?si=PwftNWcUcXpMtbfS Regarding the artstyle and animation I think the artstyle overall is fine but definitely nothing outstanding. Though I really love how KOSMOS looks in the anime she especially still looks beautiful. But despite all these problems I have with the anime I still think its enjoyable for me and I still kind of like it. Xenosaga has my favorite characters and story in fiction and even though this is more a worse adaption of the story I still love the overall story and characters. Seeing Shion Uzuki chaos KOSMOS Ziggy and all the other wonderful characters always puts a smile on my face which is why I still gave Xenosaga The Animation a score of 69/100. Though despite my liking for the Xenosaga Anime I definitely wouldnt recommend it to someone who hasnt had any experience with Xenosaga. You certainly will have a much better experience playing the games.
