Generator Gawl

Story: 9/10
Generator Gawl is about three teenagers, (Two Scientists, and one Generator,) sent back in time to save the future from a horrible reality.
Generators are Humans who have had their genes altered to give them super strength, flying capabilities, and a monster-like form.
Gawl, The Generator of the group, dedicates himself to fighting for their cause, while Ryo and Koji are dedicated to the more technical duties.

They get involved in an obnoxious girl’s life, (Masami,) and their job gets conflicting as they try to pass themselves off as high school students to get closer to the professor who ultimately ruins the future. They soon realize, they are not alone, as Generators from the Future come back and try to kill them, trying to keep the future the same.
I went into Generator Gawl not expecting much. I knew it was a Sci-Fi, and I knew that it was made a long time ago, so I was figuring it’d be, “ok,” but nothing special.

Considering it was made a while back and that it’s animation was a little odd, and since it was so short; but I was very wrong! The story is portrayed in a unique way, there was nothing out of place, the story itself was great, it was just, plane: “Awesome!”
It starts out very simple, but then becomes very complex, It was very well thought out, and well delivered!

Animation: 8/10
It’s a bit of an old-timer in terms of style, but it didn’t bother me once. I mean, the character designs were good, the scenes were well directed, in terms of quality it was good. It’s just a change of pace from what’s out nowadays.

Music: 7/10
The music in the background is mostly electric guitar and has an 80s rock feel to it.
It’s really a style preference I can’t say its, “bad,” because it’s really not.

Voice Acting: (Dub) 9/10
The Voice Acting was great, and very well done, I wasn’t unhappy with anyone!
Vic Mignogna gave Gawl a peppy/sarcastic nature that fit his character well, but did not disappoint during the emotional scenes. Matt Kelley gave Ryo a timid/man of science feel to his character. And Jay Hickman got Koji’s strong/silent personality down well.
And I have to say, Monica Rial’s monologue as Natsume was absolutely awesome.

Characters: 9/10
The Characters are very pure, I would be shocked if anyone watched this and DIDN'T love them all. The honesty and feeling to all of them were what took me into this anime the most; each character has a very strong nature.

Over-All: 9/10 (Great)
I believe this Anime was defiantly worth my time, you have to put up with the odd animation, and some of the cheesy scores. But overall, it was very honest and very pure and very engaging.

I highly recommend this series to anyone that has a healthy (or unhealthy, whatever the case may be) interest in Sci-Fi stories that revolve around time travel. The characters are likeable, the plot flows well, and it has a good deal of eye candy action sequences. However, what I like best about it is that it makes you think and any media that does that is a good thing. Enjoy.
