Anime reviews
OK, I thought this forum could do with one of these. It'll be good for someone who like me lives somewhere where there are very few Anime's on the television and who has to mainly rely on the DVD's. However, £20 a DVD is alot when you don't know if you'll like it or not. This is a place where you can see what others thought of animes, hopefully the one that you want will be reviewed (maybe by more that one person) and you can make your decision. Just be sure to give the name of the show, a percentage (easier that /10 as you can see exactly how good they thought it was), and a brief overview of story, sound, characters, etc.
Here is my review of Cowboy Bebop:
Cowboy Bebop - 97%
Now I may possibally be a bit bias on reviewing CB as it is my favourate show. It has amazing character development throughout an amazing story. By the end you feel kind of linked to all the characters.
The story follows two bounty hunters, Spike and Jet, who are on a spaceship called the Bebop. They are later joined by Faye, a woman bounty hunter who can't remember anything about her past, Ein, a dog that's been genetically modified to be super inteligent although no-one seems to notice, and Ed (short for Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV) a young hacker who just wants to have fun. Spike used to work for a crime syndicate known as the Red Dragon, he left thatlife three years ago, hoping to run off with the woman he loved, Julia.
We follow the group of bounty hunters along on their quest to earn some cash, unfortuantly they are the unluckiest at their profession. Their hunting takes up the magority of the 26 episodes (or sessions), with the rest set aside for character episodes. The series is full of memorable moments and there is even a film (which takes place between episodes 22 and 23).
The music on the show is amazing, it is all performed by a Jazz band known as the Seatbelts. The songs at either end of each episodes are amazing and perfectly set the mood for the show.
The dubbing isn't all that bad. I now must admit I haven't seen the subbed version as I've only seen the show on television.
This show is perfect for anyone who likes anime and/or action flicks. To give it any less of a score would be a crime, and as nothing is perfect or next to perfect it can't have any higher.
