Movie Reviews of Blue Gender - The Complete Collection
Movie Review: I would have prefered sleeping through this catastrophe myself!
Summary: 4 Stars
Blue Gender(BG) is a very good anime series that slightly misses excellent in my view. Despite its small short comings, BG delivers on several levels. The action is definitly one of them plus it's supported by realistic characters. Those searching hard for a mecha series where dialogue and psycho babble is overshadowed by action. Most likely won't be disappointed with BG.
After a very long slumber, Yuji Kaido awakens in a world he does not recognize. He finds himself running for his life from giant creatures. He is then brought up to speed by a mecha pilot named Marlene. Yuji learns that the human race is on the brink of extiniction after being attacked by giant bugs called Blue. He then finds himself fighting for survival along with Marlene and what's left of her recovery unit.
First things first, the action. Blue Gender delivers with loads of combat. The battles with the Blue are gory and action packed. This is one mecha series that trys hard to limit the talk. The series does a really good job with its setting. The war torn earth speaks for itself.
Several people mention that Yuji's whining is pretty annoying. Well, I don't think anybody would easily digest waking up in a world where giant bugs just destroyed everything they knew. And on top of that, the civilians are being treated worst than trash. So Yuji's b***hin' makes alot of sense. There is some character development. To include the story progresses nicely and little subplots take place. Now there is a bit of filler but the story picks up again. Plus the last few episodes and ending does deliver.
Now some people actually said the animation is outstanding. I would like to know did we all see the same series. This is BG's biggest fault besides it's questionable science(which I still think is cool due to imagination). The animation is not very good at all. Most of the effort is put into the mechas and the creatures. Almost everything else takes a serious back seat. The animation does get better on episode 17 and a few times during the episodes afterwards. Still, when compared to series that came out around the same time. BG doesn't hold up. The soundtrack is done pretty well and works really well with the scenes. The opening and ending themes are pretty good.
BG also has a bit of nudity and a few soft sex scenes. Plus a small bit of girl on girl action much later on. Someone may find it offensive, so it's best to mention it.
Even though the story and some elements is seen that before. I was still entertained by this series and it's something I can watch many times. People looking for a mecha series that's less blab and more blast should check this out.
