Platinum Carpet V.I.P- Board Master

"More Spring Anime Thoughts..." , posted Tue 15 Apr 22:26

Have seen more shows, so here I go with more thoughts on the new crop of anime...

Wandaba style: Boy Genius is trying to go to the moon, since he thinks nobody's been there. He hires a group of failed idols to be test-pilots. Much fun ensues. Tries a bit to hard at times, but this has got that KiSS comedy vibe going for it so it's more than cool. A good watch for comedy fans...

Air Master: The wipping boy for most critics this season. They're right...

Really right. I couldn't last 5 minutes...

Last Exile: Great art, good animation, intresting setting, but a bit of a slow opening till the final few minutes. Have a feeling things will pick up though. Worth a watch as it could be great, and the Range Miruta (sp?) character designs rock.

Demon Detective Loki: Typical detective anime, with more of a supernatural leaning. Done very well though, and the opening and title seem to promise some intresting devlopments. Worth watching...

Have still yet to see Human Scramble, DN Angel (will leech soon), Ninja Scroll (Not Digi Subbed yet), And the new Digi Charat (Glad Rabbi En Rose is back, when she left my Digi Charat love faded...They should of stayed at Gamers...)

Separated at Birth?

I have to stick up for AIRMASTER.

The character designs are unique.

The fight scenes are good.

The show has a sort of attitude I like.

For some reason, it reminds me of Girl Beats Boy

I think there is a lot to like here, and it has a bold style to it.

Yeah I really like Airmaster also. It reminds me of the Grappler Baki TV series... a red headed fighter named Maki picking street fights trying to perfect her skills. I admit the masked wrestler she fought in ep 1 was pretty lame... along with the girl with huge tits... and I want to kill that whiney little girl... but the fighting more than makes up for it.

I'm sure there will be people picking apart Sonic X just as bad. There's really no indepth plot... just the cast of Sonic Adventure 2 is teleported to our dimension after an accident with the chaos emeralds. It doesn't make sense for the police to have a force of formula one race cars with nitro... it doesn't make sense why Sonic can't swim in a shallow pool and that rich kid Chris has to save him... and Shadow isn't even in the first episode. Still the action is fast paced... and really.... S,O,N,I,C GO! I've been humming the theme song for days :D

Here's looking at you... Onime.

"Ninja Scroll" , posted Thu 17 Apr 17:22

The fansub for Ninja Scroll ep1 is out now... and I have to say this is by far the best show to debut this spring. The animation quality is very high with lots of attention towards details and lighting... it's right up there with GITS: SAC and Cowboy Bebop. The character designs are fairly faithful to the movie, although Jubei is the only returning character in the first episode. The enemies are pretty original and I think they even manage to out freak the freaks from the movie. Really... the best way to describe it is just awesome, I couldn't have wished for better. Good news for the torrent folks too, because it's by animejunkies ;)

I would'nt say its around the standards of GITS and Cowboy Beebop. Animation quality is average, in my opinion..Last Exile and Wolf's Rain had animation way better den Ninja Scroll. But overall the anime has kept me entertained. And yes, i agree the enemies in Ninja Scroll TV is really freaky.
