Synopsis

In the year 2010 AD, Hyper Hurricanes born concurrently all over the world caused severe damage. Five billion people lost their lives, decreasing the world's population to 3 billion. Existing economies and militaries were wiped out. Countries were frozen under solid ice, plains sank beneath seas, the world was changed dramatically.

Human civilization enters a chaotic era. Poverty flourished outside of these ecomomic zones and slums were widespread. The ruling class called themselves Logos and maintained their position by force of arms. They call the poor Revenus, who are exiled to live outside the special economic areas.

Time has passed since then. Katsuragi Jo and Tsurasawa Jin, escape from Phantom, a force organised to watch Revenus and to suppress renegade elements of the Logos, taking with them a mysterious girl, Noto Sana. There are many who are interested in her, all with their own reasons.

Innocent Venus is possibly one of the most underrated anime series of recent times. I truly believe it deserves a higher score than it currently has. Although it is only a mini-series, it does have a lot to offer.

The story starts off quite simple, you have your average shady duo accompanied by a young girl and an annoying kid on the run from a roster much bigger than themselves. However, as it progresses it manages to spark your interest quite easily, it presents you with questions you want answered, introduces new and exciting characters, defining plot twists, fantastic action sequences and a lot more. It's read more

Innocent venus is in my list of favourite animes forever. I thoroughly enjoyed it, mainly because I was hooked to the storyline right the way through. Full of twists and turns, I liked the way it wasn't exactly "predictable" . The series is short, doesn't drag on, but gives you plenty of time to "care" about the characters.
I watched this series in Japanese, and I thought the voice acting was fairly well done, and graphically it was good, however I felt that the intergration of the computer effects on the mecha used could have been more seamless, because when there was great use of read more

Both share very similar aspects. The mecha used in IV are fairly similar to the Knightmares of CG in their size and the way they move. It shares a similar theme of rebels rising up against a government, and there are many other obvious similarities along the way. IV is of course, much shorter than CG, but if you liked either anime then you might like the other
The setting in both includes wealthy cities surrounded by poor areas, in the future.

Both have 2 male leads who are friends, and are in trouble with the authorities from the cities, so they are hiding out in the ghetto.

Innocent Venus is a bit more action-filled.

Both have nice animation and are quite short.
