Synopsis

Life seems simple for Kouichi, a young student, until he learns that he is the reincarnation of an alien protector who crashed onto the mantle of responsibility as "defender of the Earth," Kouichi/Babel teams up with a trio of super-powered alien companions to battle the the dark forces of an evil cult leader. The war to save humanity takes Babel from the deserts of southern Asia to the upper east side of Manhattan and ultimately to a final showdown with "the master" in a hidden base nestled in the Swiss Alps. The action is fast-paced and deadly. The fate of the world rests in the ability of this courageous youth to tame his latent psychic power and use it to defeat the enemies of mankind.

The plot is like a piece of swiss cheese, and it seems like whenever the plot isn't going to go they way they want it to, just insert Lodem ex Machina to save the day. The fights make no sense, the way they announce ...

Preliminary (10/13 eps)

Oh boy, oh boy. Babel the Second! Where do I even begin? Never have I seen a show so devoid of life. Not a single character had depth. Not a single soundtrack was memorable. Not a single event makes sense.

Each character has the depth of a plastic spoon. Their motives are confusing-- in fact, do they have even a motive? You can't follow what they're saying, because you can't follow the plot!

Once again i´m filling up a review here since its empty on the page. First of all i had some very high hopes of babel nisei, 2001 remake after seeing the 1992 4 part ova, en well it was somewhat a dissapointment. the 1st thing that crossed my mind was the change in animation, eversince most animation studio´s doing digital animation mostly since 2000 a lot changed, compared to the 90´s ova this one looked rather..... stiff and too static by movements, and another thing that putted me off was the execution of some actionscene´s. Storywise it is still the same as the ...
