otakunicks retro reviews (blue sub 6)

okay i know i ushaly leve the retro reviews to anime that predate 2000 but i think hell its been out for 10 years its old anuph for a retro review so il be reviewing blue sub 6


 Blue Submarine No. 6 is a 4ep OVA that ran in October of 2000 with a over all length of 32 minuets a ep and was directed by Maeda, Mahiro who also directed the The Animatrix tho hes probably best know for his mecha design Top wo Nerae! and Escaflowne


the story is strait forwerd and not all that great The once famous and well respected scientist Zorndyke has bred a new genre of living being, one that thrives on the oceans and lives to destroy humans. Zorndyke believes it is time that the humans were relieved of their rule of the earth. It is up to Blue Submarine No. 6 and the rest of the Blue fleet to put an end to Zorndyke's madness and creations. but the charter interactions and motivations make up for the story's week points


now this OVA did sum thing others of it time failed to do and that the integration of CGI with computer cell animation meaning the carter are and sum backgrounds would be drawn using a program like PS or illustrator and a majority of the action scenes would be full CGI and tho it looks sum what dated now back in 2000 this was the best use of CGI i can think off it was crisp clean and detailed  and had almost no animation problems the charters where properly proportioned and had vary naturel movements



the music was rely nice as well mixing jaz with and rock witch to vary distinctive never gets to overpowering and at the same time comes to for front when needed  and to this day its a OST i listion to



over all i can say is this is a must watch for any anime fan good art good charters ok story and great music





   

otakunicks retro reviews (appleseed)

hey guys i'm back with another retro review and this time i am looking at appleseed sum of you are probably scratching your heads thinking how is this a retro review the appleseed movie came out in the mid 2000's well yes there was a appleseed movie in the 2000's but i am looking at its predecessor witch was made back in 1988 and in my opinion its the spearer film


now appleseed was originally a manga written by Shirow, Masamune back in 1985 who other then making appleseed also made ghost in the shell and most recently real drive so needless to say this story is coming from a man well versed in cyberpunk story's 


and story is where appleseed shines After World War 3 the General Management Control Office construct an experimental city known as Olympus inhabited by humans, cyborgs and bioriods. Bioriods are a genetically engineered being created to serve mankind. They run all administration of Olympus. Olympus was meant to be a utopian society. But for some it is less of a utopia and more of a cage. Calon Mautholos, an Olympus city police officer, is one of these people. Calon secretly conspires with a terrorist, A. J. Sebastian, to destroy Gaia, a super computer that runs Olympus. Out to stop them are Olympus city police SWAT team members Deunan Knute and Briareos Hecatonchires. Deunan and Briareos are determined to stop the terrorist plot by any means necessary.


as for voice work id have to say its around above the norm for the 80's and the ENG dub is not haff bad i can say the only reason i watch it in Japanese is because thats what i first watched it in witch is saying sum thing for a 80's movie


and speaking on the 80's the art, animation style and even the music are obviously 80's witch is not necessarily a bad thing a lot of the best OVAs and movies come from the 80's in my opinion



over all i have to say if your a fan of cyberpunk and of the maker of ghost in the shell watch this movie it dusint tie into the newer movies but its still worth the watch

mylene jenus figure review

hey guys just hear to show off sum thing i got at Anime Boston this year a non scale mylene jenus figure from the macross 7 anime series by by TB(toybook) 

now my compatriots hear at otakuhome thought i was stupid for getting this figure but truth be told i rely got this thing for one hell of a price compared to what its going for on amazon witch mind you is curently $198 plus shipping to where i only played $10 

and i must say i am happy with this figure its just your basic fixed posed figure with base and the paint aps are good only one real flaw theres no lips witch is anime accurate but on a figure its a bit weird  but i like it i am a fan of the show its from and to a lesser existent a fan of the charter herself so i don't rely mind it plus you don't rely notes it unless you look up close and even then a little paint and problems solved granted id rather a basara figure but i can wait to get me a hi-metal VF-19 kai

First Thoughts on Deadman wonderland

hey guys got another first thought for you this time il be talking about deadman wonderland now if this sounds fermiluer to you  thats because DMWL is the adaption of a manga by Kondou, Kazuma passably best known for the elreka seven manga now the DMWL manga started in 2007 and is still ruining today and its no wonder why this is a good story

Ten years have passed since the Great Tokyo Earthquake, and the people's memories of the disaster have faded. Ganta Igarashi, a middle school evacuee, has finally begun to live a normal life...That is, until the day "Red Man" appears at his school and Ganta's fate is changed forever. His entire class is brutally murdered, and although innocent of the crime, Ganta is sentenced to death and sent to the bizarre prison known as "Deadman Wonderland." An insane and brutal game of prison survival begins!


now with a story like this you know your in for a good show and the DMWL anime is good tho after watching two eps a few things have been changed witch tho will not mess anything up rely hurts the story for sum one who has read the manga but other then that nothing big has been changed and the story tho cadenced a bit to fit into the restrictions of a anime flows pretty well


the animation flows nicely(no surpriser there with this being a newer anime) and the colors tho thare are quite a bit mix well and are muted enough that DMWL looks bolth like a amusement park and a prison (as it shud being bolth)


the VA work is also good even with only a bit of the main cast around at  the moment all of them have fitting voices especially shiro i cant Imagen a bater voice for her hopefully this trend will last and all the cast gets fitting voices 


now the music is where the anime rely shines defiantly taking the minimalistic aproch but when it kicks is boy dos it kick and the OP is a perfect exsampol its called "One Reason" and its by Fade a nice hard rock song with lirics that fit the show so well i am pretty shore they wrote the song for the anime and if they did not its the best sync up since wizard of OZ and dark side of the moon





now with all this sed i rely think that this anime is well worth the watch yea it take sum shit out but that happens so much you cant rely blame the people making the anime for doing it anymore and this show rely takes the story and adds to it by giving it voices and movement so i say go and watch this if you can
