Spotlight Anime: Mysterious Cities of Gold MAL Anime Information Page: Mysterious Cities of Gold MAL Score – 7.72 (by 1033 users) Ranked - #675 Popularity - #2060 For the next week I would like to have a discussion about the anime that focuses on the key elements that we here on MAL use to critically rate an anime: Animation, Sound, Characters, Story, and Enjoyment. I would like everyone to approach this thread as if you were going to write a review and structure your initial post like this: Animation - insert rating Sound - insert rating Characters - insert rating Story - insert rating Enjoyment - insert rating Animation - discuss any pros and cons of the animation styling used in the series, try to include some specifics. Sound - describe any of the things you liked or didn't care for in regards to the music and sound effects used in the series etc... If you are having trouble writing up a review or coming up with specific pros and cons, please don't worry. Just do the best you can with it and if you can only write two or three sentences about any of the 5 elements then that's OK. Not everyone here is currently at a level which will allow them to articulate their thoughts and opinions. After your initial post is made you can feel free to civilly discuss issues of contention. I am sure there will be many opinions expressed here that some of us will disagree upon and criticise and it is for that reason that this entire club exists. So I hope everyone has fun and I am really looking forward to watching this discussion unfold. *Since this series has made the cut-off percentage-wise but has failed to gather enough votes, it is now once more available for nomination due to rule changes.

| What can I say that Archaeon hasn't already said? Seeing as I did nominate this for most of the way, I am obliged to say something. MCoG is without a doubt, an absolute classic, and something which should ve viewed by anybody who claims they are connoisseurs, or "anime junkies". I remember watching this more than once on The Children's Channel back in the days, as well as seeing it on a local channel dubbed to Swedish. It was etched into my memory, and about 15 years after those initial viewings I found it on a server and downloaded it, and I was surprised at how well it had aged, and how entertained I was watching it again. I even showed it to my girlfriend, and she loved it as well without having a prior connection to it. It didn't suffer from the same problems Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers and other shows from the same era suffered from; this was a competent production which could entertain children and adults alike. I believe there is where it's greatness lies. It's an awesome adventure story, there isn't a dull moment, it's surprisingly mature (never dumbing anything down for the viewer), the characters are likable and well played on both sides of the fence (Mendoza, Gomez and Menator are all great characters), and the children aren't of the obnoxious, unlikable and annoying variety which is so prominent in anime as well as children's cartoons this day, but where the show really shines is with Mendoza, the Spanish navigator. Rarely has such a great character been featured in any anime aimed at children. Archeaon really says it best, but the growth he goes through is astounding. I also need to mention the music, which is simply wonderful considering it's limit as well as repetitive use, I have had the music in my brain for the last 20 years, going so far as to putting several of them on my iPod. They are just that great, In conclusion; this is really the type of series we as a group should recommend. It's mature, it's exciting, it goes beyond it's genre & target audience and it manages to captivate it's viewers regardless of age for two decades. A timeless classic which can be enjoyed by all, a show which deserves to be viewed by more people. This is C&C material, without a doubt. |
| i am to young for this shit,i do plan on looking it up and checking its worth tho. |
