3 minutes ago1 of 1 episodes seen 1 of 1 people found this review helpful Noiseman Sound Insect will confuse you just as much as the name does. But that aside, this is actually an interesting anime.
The story, from what I managed to piece together while watching it, is about a group of kids who work for this creature known as 'Noiseman' who sends his minions around a futuristic city in an alternate world to take the music away from everything and everyone. To get in the way of Noiseman would mean that you'd end up getting yourself turned into something... that looks like a floating tadpole with your humanity crystalised and hoarded by Noiseman. Now, the plot of this anime is convoluted and it is all over the place--you're going to wondering what is going on half the time, who is who, and why they're doing what they do. It is a bit metaphoric in the sense that it's about renegades who are fighting for their music, for their personalities, for their lives back after it is taken away from an uncaring, greedy tyrant. However, the delivery is not very good.
However, the art was great. The animation was absolutely amazing, and scenes where the characters are bounding through the distopian city slums look amazing. There is one magnificent scene in the beginning where the camera speeds through a tunnel, allowing the audience to feel as if they were actually there. The art is also well done. The city has a very interesting design as it combines the overgrowth of urban areas with the overgrowth of nature. Houses are built on gigantic tree-like plants. Ponds hover as balls of water suspended in the air. It looks fantastic.
The sound really kept the tempo of the anime. The visuals were extremely quick-paced and had the feeling of constant movement, and the sound followed suit. Pumped-up techno beats that matched the boundless energy of the rest of the anime. It was a fun, energised score and it suited the anime well and contributed to the endless action that was seen.
Sadly, the characters didn't really match up to the rest of the anime. We have a group of teenagers who are not complex and who don't develop as the story progresses. They do however suit the needs of the anime. They serve merely as a strong group of kids who can fight Noiseman and who are all pretty skilled and athletic and just.
Noiseman Sound Insect is odd. But I did enjoy it and I couldn't ask for more in that area. It remembered that its purpose is to entertain, and it did just that, nothing more, nothing less.
With a short duration, lots of action, great art and sound aspects, Noiseman Sound Insect managed to be a good anime that had potential to be something way better, but is pretty much fine how it is already. read more
