Shura-shurato's Profile

This is one of those fighting anime wich can go all directions, and although it can´t be compared to the serie´s that was electrifying and the movie, this went into a more toned down side on a more personal story. I saw it back in 1999 on a videotape together with the movie and enjoyed it somewhat.
Animationwise it still had the same look like the movie was, and the story was´nt bad at all , something different that all that constant fighting.It also shows the personal inside struggle of Gau ban and ELLe Ragu, 2 protagonists, like a person has in its everyday life. The characters itself are maybe a bit slow at the beginning an uninterested but they make it up with some nice fightscenes and interesting technique´s wich is.nt too hard to execute and ofc fitting music as a add-on. I really enjoyed it somewhat and even watch it again time to time but i really reccoimend the serie´s read more

ELECTRIFYING! thats what occured to me when i watched it back in 2000, and they don´t make them like it used to. Elle ragu is maybe one of anime most BADASS girls ever, by design,personality, and her non-girly behavior, as well some of other important chara througout the serie. The story in beginning looks like a small recapture of the movie at the tournament, some simmilair scene´s but better animation and further developing storyline.
It gets better and WAY darker as everything progresses, So is the art, it looks better than the epiloge or the movie, and u really can see that money and attention is put in this emerald .i like the intro-outro part of the serie´s with nice dancemusic at the last episode ending credits. Then, the martial arts, quite a limited choice of martial arts are in the anime and not dozens and dozens like in fist of the north star, aside that the fighting in lots of scens are well executed by viilians and heroe´s, it made me jump from chair to chair out of madness and happyness but its not like some halfbaked kickass stuff, NO! Then the legend of gau ban, wich is an suprise story in and anime story! i already rewatched it soo many time´s i lost the counting , but it stays damn good read more

This was one saturday morning anime u wouln´d miss, or for the rest of the day u were bored.And its right that a lot of ppl like this serie´s because in many ways its quite well done, good thing i rewatched it some days ago, teleporting me back to the 90´s for all i care. Mainly i like it because it starts strong & ends strong and fitting, putting a MILEWIDE smile to my face!Storywise it proresses well, untill the last 6 episodes that has the unexcpected twists and turns, but still connects to the story,and all of the madness loosed at once, handdrawn ppl, thats still 90's anime and i grew up with it, the nice gritty shady recording version i NEVER EVER throw away. Persona have all and interesting backstory from the heroes and villians alike without a damn rushed boring whatever.....
and most of the girls act more mature instead of the stereotypical types in lots of other anime. Epeleptycal i would call the last 3 episode's cuz it hurt my eyes a bit . Mystical and some spititual content in the serie was my most fav aspect of it all till the damn end, well done and a thought through story! a collection reccomendation! read more

I give a better rating for this movie, and although there are flaws left and right with some animation drops, i like it, Time consuming in this today´s rushed world or not i like it. Not the most Original anime story from 1986 and not the best one , but its enjoyable enough without the digitalized anime, all of it ws handdrwan ofc and have sort of slight ´a la vampire hunter D scent´ with the medevil fantasy background and mystical monsters. >The development and designs for our heroe´s and villians is shoddy compared to todays standarts LIKE I CARE, but could do better in interacting and personal story background , some more focus would do good. Potentially it held back a bit what dissapointed me and as a lone and short project i would like to see more. Production wise there was not too much money put in the project, but hey, for me its an acceptable oldskool anime that missed some good chances nevertheless read more

the story picks off from the t.v serie´s wich goes in a far darker tone and more serious aswel the plot directs in a very twisted and acceptable closure. seems many ppl haven´t heard the ova´s or seen it ( yes its oldskool, deal with it ). I liked the t.v series a lot, but the ova a lot more. New charachters that appears in the scene, both good and bad, each having a story to tell about their past and stuff wich in not like a no brainer putted in just to fill it all up or rush it, no its quite well done and tought through. same for the new apprerances of mystical/-like-mecha creatures. i don't remember much of the ova's , but Pegasus gets and powerfull upgrade and the Original owner returns wich develop in an sort of dissapointment between the owner and the current holder of Pegasus, wich Black Pegasus comes into the story.I like the nice 'superhero' intro that fitted, very good background animation and little to non pussy chara. that annoys you in the show. and it has some funny moments ofc. read more

Well what can i say??? good transfer from tape to dvd and this one ppl, this animation for the 80's is quite well done i mean LOOK at the hair and the charachter designs. 25+ years since production and its still considers amongs older animefans as a silver ore under ova's, and many prob don't really accept this kind of stuff today ONLY because 'its old and timeconsuming'.... SCREW THAT! 3 ova's with and very dark and twisted story, the kind u don't see much of it today. Dont take this anime lightly because female's are the centre of this story, its violent aheel with big mechafights, lightsaber duels and supernatural brawling, but sometime's a bit cheesy and shortened. Also the backgrouind art could look a bit better as well the minor aliens , look past that for the brutal unforgiving dark story. and DON'T watch the english dub. it give's mostly a depressing feeling as ppl in the story suffer some wrenching losses! and hell it starts strong, ends strong! i enjoyed it much more than the seq. read more

STRAP ON YOUR OLD SKOOL GLASSES AND ENJOY! DAMN shame that nobody has written something about this, so its up to me then seems that very little amount of ppl know this one. I was soo happy when the dvd release came out , mainly for the clearer sound and animation, but the 1st time seeing this on video made this an funny anime gem and a keeper!
Remember its prod. was 23-25 years ago so and many ppl can't stand it these days cuz its more than a few years old.... sad. anyway the story is no too intense like its prequel but has more fun to it, in this case with Iczer-1 little sister. Short nice fanservice and nice not too violent fights wich sadly progresses more than the storyline. Chara are acting for the time, bit cheesy and annoying but funny, and go for the japanese language because i can't stand the english dub!And for the matter fact i enjoyed it quite much! read more

This is the st ova installement of saint seiya, and the first saint seiya anime i was introduced to , and boy it made me STRAIGHT ON hooked at the serie´s and later on the whole franschise ( i've seen so far all the ova's , and am busy with the 1980's serie's before Omega come's to pass)
The first time for me immediatly gave a sense that i've seen the concept and big parts of the storyline before in other serie's , Ronin warriors, Shurato ect.ect wich was moderatly simmilair to it, and populair. The art in here is definetly 1980's with a small sense of the so called greek-curly-art at some point to add on the story. The story is not too shabby and is quite fast , but understandable and connectable. maybe not everybody's likings compared to todays anime but i like it ! period! good music-action scene's thats fitting with the main chara in througout the show. every chara in this has a story to tell, wether good or bad just like in the serie's, with some violent resolve to it, and i din't expect that this was way more violent than i thought, give's it more fun to it. and a shitload of dramaplay!! :) read more

definetly one to remember from the good old days when i was in the middle of my anime collection crazyness,and basicley i stole this dvd cuz it was expensive and i really needed it so yeah... but for me it was worth the watch.... The shooter on pc was alright compared to the anime wich had some good violent moments in there. the storyline is not too too intense but takes somewhat a twist as it progresses. Very good mature anime art style with fits at the likings of most chara. wich acts as well like mature ppl without too much ladies bitching about unnessecary stuff. Good art for the vilians and monster designs as well but not too special.
its most enjoyable at parts where the action begins and some chara make´s their entrance, and boy ITS VIOLENT. not for kiddo´s these days i´ll tell ya. and thank god for NO REMAKE/REBOOT its just stay as it is read more

And i never thought that another 90´s anime serie would catch my eye like this one, the goddamn happiness will never end :). This was an famous anime serie in italy in the 90's asnd spain, what i heard from friends so i checked it out and was hooked from the start! its starts strong and it ends simple AND STRONG!For me the best overall was the socalled reincarnation- of -magical creatures- into -mechaform or sort of, well done for handdrawing. Ok its one of those serie's that start with an flashy superhero intro and stuff, but its getting there with a good and potent buildup throug the serie's, unlike most but not all, most newskool anime does'nt have or rush it.Chara wise it has some interesting villians and heroe's , each with an backstory of its own were NO PUSSIES have been bred in! MANLY!!! the main chara is maybe like a pissing in the pants brat in the beginning, but get more mature later on. Good random music action scenes but not too special although it soo damn flashy, but believe me it enjoyed it like in a way i missed this sort of anime hanging on a life and death threat..... yep i enjoyed this , onto the OVA i guess :) read more
