Anime: Lupin Sansei: Babylon no Ougon Densetsu 6o6t3x

BlOOgah.[br][br]I Heartily Disliked This Film, And Cannot Muster Any Enthusiasm Of Either Flavour For It.[br][br]Here Is Why:[br][br]It Is American.[br][br]The animation style is cheap, inconsistent, unpleasant and repetitive (american). I shouldn't care about such things I know but it was so much so that I was looking at the bad elements and hoping to catch them out, as I will justify later on. The character designs were again inconsistent, and at times downright patronising. For whatever reason, the backgrounds were done well. Some of them extremely well. this just went to highlight the low quality of the character animation, which was disheartening. [br][br]The music, sound effects, rofl, lol, etc were mediocre, barely able given the technology of the time, but perhaps excuses can be made for the prevailing style. The voice actors on the flipside are beyond competent, and i'm surprised they managed to convey the levels of enthusiasm that they did.[br][br]The story was offensive. A complete and utter sellout of everything that makes a half decent animu film, in exchange for western Saturday morning cartoon plots, the bad sort ( Prince Valiant was half decent). The execution verged from mediocre to helldriven, and The Emperor alone knows why.[br][br]Also, racism. I mean, serious racism. And not the clever kind, the kind that takes the piss out of people and then staples some national insult to them as an afterthought, taking their culture with it.[br][br]Character development was there, but it was such an incredible leap that it was far from worth it ( for non franchise'd characters). Any attempt at surprise or innovation was stifled by the railroad plot entirely.[br][br]So aye. A cheap cartoon ing itself off as animu, with the flashes of technical brilliance or natural skill solely highlighting how bad it is, and an outright insult to the sauce books. Dont waste your effort.[br]
