Anime Reviews#3
Tenchi Muyo
One of my personal favorites, Tenchi Muyo is an anime that mixes sci-fi, action, a little bit of love and drama, and lots of humor to make it one of the most unique and different series around! (T.V. Series version)The story begins with Tenchi Misaki investigating a falling star. The star is actually a ship which contains the hung-over space pirate Ryoko! And pretty much here is when all hell breaks lose in the series because one after another people from different lands come to planet earth in search of something and get stuck and they happen to get stuck in japan on a small little isolated land with tenchi and his relatives. I can't tell too much without ruining it, but I will say the story is very unusual but thats what makes the show worth while because you never know what's gonna happen next! ^_^ Despite this is one of my fav anime I have to be honest...........Tenchi Muyo ain't for everyone! If you like deep story lines..........this anime isn't for you! But if your looking for a good laugh and a show that offers just about every category of entertainemnt, this is for you! **** (sub or dub is good)
Record of Lodoss War
Season 1
The Record of Lodoss War is one of those series/movies where you wanna slap the creator! Everything seems to be in place. Great animation, unique characters, good action scenes, very nice dialogue..........and then BAM!!!!!!! Half way through the series (right when a certain character passes away) the story becomes boring and extremely predictable. The group of heroes are fighting the enemy. The female gets captured. Main character must save the damsel in distress. The rest of the group follows. One by one they are seperated until our main character (Parn) is left to do battle with bad guy. How exciting is that? But I must say the first half was great...I loved every second which is why I have to at least give it ****. (sub or dub is good)
Season 2: Chronicles of a Heroic Knight
It has been years since Ghim's death. And man has things changed.......Parn is no longer the young boy we knew in the first season. His swordsmanship has dramatically increased! Still fighting along side with Deedlit. Still friends with Slayne. Thats where the simularities end. The animation in the first one was very nice but has been improved!!! The opening song is excellent. Many of the old characters return from the old season like Ashram!! One good note is now Orson and Shiris are main characters of the show (which I am really glad cause I enjoyed them the first time around ^_^). The series doesn't let up in the middle or end either!. It has lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing. Oh and I love at the end of each episode they have a short Kawaii SD skit! Their hilarious! Don't miss this one. *****
Sorcerer Hunters
This is one of the most wierdest mix of character I have ever seen. But That's what makes the show so funny! One of the main characters, Carrot, is gilr crazy. But none of the females pay him any mind. Hs is pathetic. The story is pretty much what the title reads.....a group of people who are sent on missions to hunt down evil Sorcerers! Both of the females Chocolate and Tira (which are sisters) like Carrot but he pays them no attention.......HOW IRONIC!! ^_^ Like many anime series, this show mixes a good amount of action and comedy that gives it worth a look! ****
