Customer Reviews of Blue Submarine No. 6 (Special Edition)
Blue Submarine 6 - Special Edition Wow! What stunning animation, the fluid motion scenes are just the best (even by today's standards). Fabulous battle scenes that are genuinely exciting, and some very sad scene (bring a hanky). Some of the music has made it into my permanent mp3 collection as well ;-)
It's an eco story in the best tradition of Anime. The characters are very recognisable, but Anime is made up of such standard characters e.g. the embittered veteran, the naive young women, the mad scientist etc, but it's none- the- worse for this.
If you cannot appreciate how good a piece of work this is, then perhaps you need to stick to watching DragonBall Z.
Good animation, and that's it
The main hype of "Blue Submarine No. 6", as far as I can tell, is the animation is glorious. Good animation, people say, and ground breaking at the time.
Well when I saw it all I could see was good animation. But good animation can't carry a series, that's why you have anime fanboys that run around saying indiscriminantly, "Well animation was good but storyline sucked." I'm not a fanboy, but seriously...the animation was good, and the storyline stunk.
We open with the world at a higher level because a mad scientist destroyed the ice caps and raised a navy of mutant fish-people. Sure, why not? The humans plan to launch an attack on their arctic base, but the fish navy catches them completely by surprise and attacks them a la Pearl Harbor. Huh? Wait a minute...don't they still have RADAR in the future? In fact, since its the future, wouldn't they have BETTER radar than we do now? Did the ocean's level drown out satellites too? Any way, our main hero - the cliche, unwilling type - gets seperated and hangs around with a fishgirl atop a whale as he blabs his life history. Five minutes later we're watching a pack of whales get killed like we're not supposed to care.
The finale of this series' problems comes when we watch the sharkman villain get struck by two tomahawk missiles...then comes back as if that was nothing. I was half expecting him to say in a British accent, "I got better!"
The series suffers from some other troubles. There's the classic anime cliche of introducing a character and then killing them off five minutes later, or worse yet cutting to a dramatic death scene of a character we've never seen before. In fact, so many of these characters are just archetypes or undeveloped that I really didn't care who wins or loses.
Overall, a big disappointment.
Decent Sci-Fi Anime...
As mentioned in the title above this is one of the better Sci-fi anime's. This was shown on Cartoon Network's Toonami, but was editied for viloance and some toplessness... A decent story, Extras are good sence the storyline did not realy give us much info on the charactures. Only main complaint is that this series is a little TO SHORT! Still it is one of the better anime's and it gives one a good look at wars and humanity. Would recomend for some di-hard anime fans, but I digress that this series does not "rub everyone the right way". Keep the peace all!
