Customer Reviews of Heat Guy J:Super Android Vol 1
"I'M GOING TO THE OVERGROUND.."! Heat guy j is a cross between ROBOCOP and COWBOY BEBOP with elements of T2 thrown in for good measure.J is part machine,part man and all philosipher, i love the interatction between j and daisuke, even clair leonetti AKA Vampire is likable as the main villian. (check out the epidsode where he has his accountant read poetry while guns are pointed at him lol.) each epidsoe is slightly different form the other.
and the music is the best since bebop's especially the opening intro theme FACE sung by TRYFORCE. Vampire's theme is cool also..methinks i will get the soundtrack. anyway i highly recommend this series for sci-fi action otakus. it's no ghost in the shell, but it stands on it's own. "you don't be afriad" to give this series a try.
A bit thin, but so stylish you won't care
I originally saw this anime at Anime Expo '03, and I really enjoyed it! I like the 'strong, silent type', and J is all that! The 'villain', snarky little punk Clair Leonelli, is really creepy, and he reminds me a lot of unhinged villans like Gary Oldham's character in "The Professional" or Jack Nicholson's Joker in "Batman".
I gave this anime four stars because the plot in the beginning is a bit hard to follow--Daisuke Aurora, J's human partner, is investigating an entity known as "The Shop", which is smuggling illegal goods and allowing illegal immigrants (not to mention an android, which except for J, are forbidden) into the city. There are mob-style hits on whoever seems to be connected with this smuggling activity, but eventually I just give up on trying to figure it out and watch the show. The visuals are really compelling (nice mix of CGI and cel-style animation) and the action is well done. Looking forward to the next disc!
Slick, Stylish and Action-Packed..
Just the way I like my Anime!
Filled with eye-catching visuals, Heat Guy J centers around a cop and his android partner in the near future called "J". Of course J is super-strong, can jump farther than the Hulk and has more electronic scanning equipment than an FBI surveillance van; very cool. Also, J and his partner have to contend with a crazy 19 year old mob boss and his enhanced henchmen.
Some critics have compared this to the great "Cowboy Beebop" but I think that is like comparing apples and oranges. Heat Guy J is an original series well worth your time and cash.
