| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The once famous and well respected scientist Zorndyke has bred a new genre of living being, one that thrives on the oceans and lives to destroy humans. Zorndyke believes it is time that the humans were relieved of their rule of the earth. It is up to Blue Submarine No. 6 and the rest of the Blue fleet to put an end to Zorndyke's madness and creations. "Blues" |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| The music that Hayami was listening to was driving me crazy.Normally i don't mind long conversations between characters,but with that music as a background...i wasn't far away from dropping it.And also the not-interested-in-anything type of character that was Hayami was realy annoying in the beginning. Otherwise the episode was ok. |

| Well, plot and characterwise it has potential, but I found the CGI(?) overuse a bit annoying... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| Mm, werid episode. I found the OST and OP song decent though but not a fan of CGI. |
 |
| Seems pretty interesting, i definitely like the music. |
| Boring? I don't think so, and I get bored kinda easily. Lot of action and fairly intriguing premise. Guess it's an Evangelion-esque opener (post-apocalyptic, weird humanoid enemies) but without being derivatively so. CGI is a bit jarring but as said, it was one of the first to mix it up. |
| lol @ not-nipples on the underwater creature. |
| That wonderful 1999-2000 CGI! Seriously though it would've been better if all would've been drawn, oh well in general I liked it! |
 |
| I like the 2D artstyle, even if the CG was ugly. |
 |
| The CG makes me nostalgic for old arcade games like Beast Busters Second Nightmare. I'm not sure if it works the best here, but it is fine. This episode wasn't that interesting to me. It should have given more of the backstory and more meaning to various things. I like that it's being mysterious, but there should be more to hold on to or it feels sort of empty. |
| Ep.01 was good! Remember, it is 20+ years old now, give it some respect for old age! The cgi/rotoscoping wasn't that bad, you get used to it quickly. The sound track is bouncy! The action makes sense and the plot is there. A solid show! |
| meh, yet another OVA where the viewer is just plopped into a world with no reason to care about it or the characters. So far not impressed. Blackouting said: Boring?

Action doesn't automatically make things not boring, it was bland and dull because there is no reason to care about the characters or the world they live in. Oh yay, things blowing up, but why the fuck should I care? |

| The whole thing felt like a weird mix of Nadia and Evangelion to me (not surprising given who's involved). I liked the red/blue coloring inside the submarine, looked great. Oh hey, Kino's VA would go on to have acting roles in both seasons of Last Exile |
| This is definitely an interesting one, Blue Submarine No 6 as I know, was something that aired on Toonami that's how a lot of people would've known it and I thought I'd give it a go. First episode I will say I liked it, it feels very Evangelion-esque at times, the underwater scenes were intense, soundtrack's giving me Cowboy Bebop sort of vibes only thing I don't think was good was probably the CGI but I can allow it looking like that because it was the late 90s when it came out and CGI at the time was still fairly new as it was. The action is what's holding it together, overall we have a decent start. |
| Visually spectacular for when it was released. Most other anime around this period look prehistoric in comparison. Not sure what the plot is going to develop into; but sexy fish girls, a water world, and submarines fighting giant sperm whales makes for fun times. |

| It was an interesting first episode. Animation, plot, and execution might not have been "top-notch quality" (most likely due to age), but there was this certain charm throughout the episode that does keep me hooked. I believe it is partially due to the uniqueness of the mixed animation, whereas I usually hated it when the styles didn't blend seamlessly, I kind of loved how the different styles stood beside each other here. Some parts were still jarring to see, but I liked the scene with the first few explosions for example (not because it's pretty, but it gave me some artistic inspiration, haha). I like the 2D art style as well, that late 90s look. Plot-wise, I'm not sure what to think yet. Time will tell. |

| I love the 90s CGI. Feels like an extended PS1 game FMV cutscene. |
