While I had never heard of the computer game, my friend brought
this Anime a few days ago after being impressed with the trailer. Being the kinda
guy I am, I watched it with him.
To be honest, this
could of been a whole lot more. The animation seemed to vary in style (that final
big... thing at the end was very poorly animated) . The story was forced in making
it seems rushed. However, the story was quite interesting, dispite not really
that orignal. If the movie was 90 minutes long, it probably would of worked better.
It ended a bit suddenly too. The music was completely forgetable, which i suppose
is a good thing, as it was not that good anyway. The characters did not interest
me at all, except Blade and that little girl, Eyse. They had some feeling in them,
but we needed more background infomation on Eyse. Blade had a very well fleshed
out personality.
My main complaint is the amount
of violence in the movie. Although i'm not that great a fan of blood and gore,
i don't mind it as long as it's moderate amounts and it has some point. Sin,
sadly, was over that limit, far over, and rarely had a point for it all too. This
really lost it a lot of points with me. It's a shame about this movie, if the
violence was lowered and the movie was made longer, it may have a better score
than two stars.
