Story: Without any surprise Law of Ueki is indeed a shonen anime it has that feeling, but this is not just simply a "shonen anime", Law of Ueki story is basic yet magnificent and wonderful; The anime follows the manga plot which is more awesome. Characters are interesting, it has a Balanced yet wonderful story, not too much flashbacks, no filler story (for the anime), magnificent fighting moments and fantastic humor. it's kinda depressing to see that Law Of Ueki is short and it would be fantastic to see more adventure and action even for a short while; but that's how it was planned out to go but it turned out perfect, Law of Ueki may be one of the fantastic Shonen manga and anime existed.

Animation Art/Voice: The Drawing is very simple, balanced, not extreme but it's wonderful. Voices are truly exceptional (not because Romi Park and Kappei Yamaguchi is in the series) but their voices really fits to the characters, especially Romi Park. Good job on the both the drawing and voices

Overall Impact and Rating: Law of Ueki is indeed exceptional. Shonen anime's should be like this and not with long distracting moments or very long battles and the best part of it the anime follows the manga's plot which is a plus point.

Rating 5/5 - Law of Ueki, one of the best Shonen anime/manga existed and it's balance
