BS6 review

Well it seems like i will be having regular blog updates from now on. So get used to it. Both of you! 8)

So now we have reached the bulk of this blog post. Wich is the BS6 review. Before you ask. No, it isn't the name of the most ridiculous power ranger clone ever made. It's an anime OVA called Blue submarine number 6.

The premise of this anime is fairly apocalyptic. Countless humans have faced an untimely demise at the hands of a man called Zorndyke. There is also the fact that a large quantity of habitable land has been flooded . Wich explains why a submarine would be essential in the fight for humanity's survival.

To his disposal. Zorndyke has an army of sea creatures operating some fierce machinery. There are also some huge biological monsters. Like the ones you would normally find at any self respecting mad scientist factory.

The focal point for most of the journey is a couple of pilots aboard BS6. One is young and idealistic, and the other seems like a rogue hero at first, but really isn't. There is also the "enemy" Mutio. Who does a good job of expressing alot. Without verbal communication.

Now for the technical aspects. Considering it is 10 years old. I was stunned by the visual quality. The computer animated part blend in well. My only complaint is a few lackluster explosions, and some low quality blur during movement of the drawn parts. Even though the latter was only noticeable in the last episode.

It also has a great soundtrack. One of the best that i have ever heard.With a jazzy feel that pops in at just the right time.

In conclusion this is the most full fledged story OVA that i have seen. Even though the time restrictions of the OVA are noticeable. Wich can be seen trough the untapped potential of several scenes, and junctions.

Score: 3,8/5

Now for some general stuff: I plan on making my next blog post this weekend. It will mainly be asking for comments about the banner that i'm currently working on. It will also contain some of my ideas for the future of this blog.

There was one more thing. I want to have a song in all general blogs(hint?) from now on. Why? Because i need a bit of a push to make myself look for new music. If you oppose this then just say so.

Enjoy

Stay tuned :)
