Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

erebus53 I watched this on DVD and it looked really promising until the end of the opening credits. The prologue before the open credits was really interesting but it seemed to be the only part of the plot in which character was explored. The credits themselves looked vibrantly rendered (CG of course) and very swish indeed... I only wish that the film had come across so well.From the odd pacing to the strange mix-and-match direction it was a bit of a let down. Though I like storylines that require one to engage brain, I believe this plot was poorly explained. Very little character history was explained and in some places the directorial disregard for chronological order fell short of artful and ended up at annoyingly ambiguous.The backgrounds are really beautifully painted but in places there are computer graphic effects that fail to be integrated nicely into the cell shading. I cringed physically as I watched the Adobe lens flares fly across the screen and computer effects used where good simple animation would have done just fine.If you want to enjoy this production I really suggest you check your brain at the door. Contains violence, explosions, mutants and a scantily clad evil bad girl... not really enough to save it, in my opinion. I won't rewatch it in a hurry.

Little Washu This was yet another weak video game based anime like Fatal Fury. The plot had more cliches per minute than almost any other anime I have seen. The animation varied from really quite nice to absolutely terrible. Even the action sequences boring. Only watch this movie if you really have nothing else. I give it a 3.

jtc-3 After several failures in the video game movie genre, I went into this not expecting much. What I got was a semi low budget anime film with a great story line. At 60 minutes long it never had time to drag. The animation and voice-overs were above acceptable. The 3-D animation was the only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth. It's too bad that this movie may never get past video game fans to the anime fans that might really enjoy it.

darkgodmobutu Wow, what can I not say about this film? Sure, it's got the typical cliched Anime story-line and art, but it still seems fresh and original. For being a 60 minute film it sure had a lot of plot twists and a excellent, well-crafted, storyline with interesting unique characters. Plus it had more than enough blood, gore, & t&a. But I'm not one to complain. All in all it was a great flick and I highly recommend it to all anime fans out there!
