Now, let me make it clear, I don't have an interest in Pokemon but I do have a general interest in anime and I found a lot to like here. I was actually quite surprised how much fun this film was. If you are at all interested in Pokemon then this movie is essential viewing...
Appleseed is a gorgeous piece of work well-deserving of being watched by any true fan of either anime or cyberpunk. The animation in Appleseed is a stunning combination of computer rendering and cell animation, with mind-blowing results. But, how does the story stack up? Click to find out...
The big difference about Patlabor is that instead of focusing on the mecha, it focuses on the people. Labors aren't the super robots out to save the world, they're functional machines, and could be related to much like cars today. Mamoru Oshii did an excellent job with not only the cinamatagraphy, but the setups as well...
For fans, this is more than likely worth every penny. Unicorn is not a side story like many of the Gundam's previously released in the U.S. This is your father's Gundam series: classic, nostalgic but clean and polished for the next generation...
Green Lantern: First Flight features animation, design, and musical score unlike anything you've seen before in DC movies. I wouldn't be surprised if Batman and Superman fans switch to Green Lantern as their favorite super hero after watching this movie...
This anime on blu-ray release shows that Funimation has taken One Piece into its capable hands however one can only hope that future films, if they are released by Funimation, will be better managed and edited, perhaps with a bit more background information for those who are new to the series...
Naruto will likely appeal to a younger audience who haven't already seen this same story played out dozens of different times in other anime. Quite honestly these films don't get more adult oriented until later on, but I felt it was important to showcase this film as it is a stepping stone into the universe...
Mind Game's plot is a lot to absorb but once you take it all in, you can consider yourself as unprepared for what you will see but be ready to be surprised when you do and mentally exhausted once you did. The actual elements of the plot are not really the focus of the movie though, but instead it is about setting the mood & creating the atmosphere of the characters' emotions...
In a quest to become a true martial arts master, Ryu sets out to hone his street fighting skills and to deliver himself from the haunting legacy of the Dark Hadou. Sadly, instead of continuing from Street Fighter Alpha to part 2 we are presented with a 45 minute prequel which is obviously not aimed at any street fighter fan...
Dante’s Inferno made me think about evil, morality, the nature of god, all that stuff. It is thoughtful and smart, with a story that makes sense. A lot of the animes you watch make no sense whats so ever, but this made perfect sense all the way through. This film is interesting because it’s all about point of view.
