08/07/2015 This is the kind of film that's easy for people to dismiss at face value, but it's actually a lot of fun. Of course, due to its silly and cartoonish tone, it's nearly impossible to take this film seriously, and that's precisely why it's best not to. The story is very straightforward, and the pacing is pretty fast, but otherwise quite balanced for a film that's only 85 minutes long. While that's all well and good, there's not much exposition of the story, and that turns into a big problem when it turns out that the main villain is one of several working for an even bigger foe laying in what, yet we never seem to see him at all until the end. The characters are pretty good, though it must be said that they're better at fighting than acting (keeping in mind that this is the English dub, and English dubs usually aren't very good). Nonetheless, they consistently manage to give the film a sense of humour, and although they don't particularly offer much in terms of backstory, they make up for this in other ways. As for the visuals, it's obvious that the film is a little outdated in terms of animation, and even more so in terms of music, but the visuals are still good, and the music, strangely enough, is even better. Obviously the film's biggest strength is the fight scenes, which, though laden with flashy effects, are surprisingly engaging and decently made. On the whole, it's quite silly, but is still thoroughly entertaining. See more 03/31/2012 Greatest anime movie on this planet!!!!!!!!! See more Read all reviews
