Zac Bertschy and Hope Chapman are on tour in Japan before and after AnimeJapan 2014, and they're taking a whole bunch of photos for your viewing pleasure. TODAY: Asakusa, Gundam Front, The Matsumoboat and more!
As the first-ever direct-to-video animation, this influential 1983 OVA series, now finally available uncut and on DVD, should be of great interest to any anime history buff, fan of Mamoru Oshii, or fan of older sci fi anime.
The kind of fanservice movie one could completely skip without missing many details for the (inevitable) second season... but fans definitely won't want to do so. They'd be missing a lot of fun.
It isn't the series' knockoff plot or its time-travel gimmicks that keep us glued; it's their potential effects on its surprisingly deep, war-torn ensemble.
Inadequate development and an overemphasis on looking cool hamper a series which otherwise offers good plotting and animation and some sharp action sequences.
