Baldr Force Exe Resolution

Any network runs all over the world, and the development of the information network reaches its acme. In this age, there are two developed worlds; "the real world" and "wired", or the virtual network world.

Soma Toru belongs to a hacking group, Steppen Wolf, which runs around the network world freely. They attack the database of the UN forces as their last work. During this attack, he loses Nonomura Yuya, his friend as well as the team leader. Toru is arrested by the army. In exchange for letting him free, he has to work for an anti-hacker organization, the first squad of the UN Security Force Information Administration Bureau.

Working for them, he is looking for the person who killed his friend, while the other members also have their own reason to fight.

The three-way fights of the terrorist group, the security enterprise, and the army, continue every day. The various events occurred during the fight seem to be independent of each other at the first glance, but they're converging on one event as if they were attracted by something.

Based on the game by GIGA.

Mixed Feelings

Most of the time when I view an OVA series I often feel the show was too short and could have used more episodes. In the case of BALDR FORCE EXE, I couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Things start out pretty well as we are introduced to a future world where a virtual reality internet is a huge part of society. This network is called WIRED, and people can do about everything you can think of in this online world. The world is populated by hackers and network terrorists and the corporations and police forces that try to stop them. ... The world gives the show a perfect opportunity to have robot battles because anime loves itself some Mecha's. The hackers, terrorists, and police do battles online in virtual reality mecha suits but the catch is if you are killed in the online world, apparently this causes your brain to explode into a bloody mess in the real world. Fans of exploding heads are sure to be thrilled!

Overall it’s a fairly interesting premise for a plot but the show manages to fall flat on its face pretty early. It makes the mistakes of other short series by trying to have too much going on. There are too many subplots involving other secondary characters to be fair with any of them. While it does a good job with the main story, which is the most important after all, it would have been better to have just stuck with the basics. The motivation of the main character in the beginning is, to put it bluntly, stupid. Toru is a hacker who after being arrested by the police is giving the option of jail or joining them. But apparently he would rather go to prison because his only reason for accepting is to get revenge on the person with the police who killed his friend. While on the surface this would seem like it’s not such a bad reason, considering they were breaking the law and also trying to kill the police in return, is it really that fair to expect your might get yourself killed? Considering how many other people Toru kills himself over the course of the series, if those peoples friends took things the same way the world would be filled of nothing but revenge hungry sociopaths.

My main source of irritation with this series is the characters. Toru was an incredibly irritating character and I disliked him a lot. I found him to be an egotistic nut job that is singularly focused on killing the person responsible for his friend’s death. Having to suffer him made this anime largely a pain in the ass to watch. Unfortunately there aren’t any supporting characters to redeem the series either. They are for the most part two dimensional and boring. Ayane was the only character I felt any empathy towards and she was the most cruelly treated.

The reason for me watching this show in the first place was the music of Kotoko and Mami Kawada. They both deliver a couple very good songs which make this the one bright spot of the series. The artwork is really not that good when you consider how recently this was made. The CG effects are very drab and ordinary looking. Generally I am not a fan of CG animation and this certainly won’t change my view. A lot of the backgrounds though are very nicely done, but this really felt like a show much older than it is.

I didn’t get much in the way of enjoyment from this anime. It was a painful 2hrs to finish and thus I find it difficult to recommend to anyone. I suppose if you really love CG or Mechs and must see every title out there that has those themes you could check this out. Overall it’s just very mediocre.

BALDR FORCE EXE Resolution is one of the those fantastic OVA series that is severely overlooked by the vast amount of people who watch anime. It has wonderful art, a decent storyline, and good characters.

STORY:
The series is about a man, Tooru, who has lost everything (won't spoil ;p) and joins up with a kind of team, or company, called FLAK. The series is set in a would-be Japan, where the "wired world" is part of everyday life. People are able to literally plug themselves into certain computers and spend time in this new cyber world.
It is quite a difficult concept for the writers of ...

For a 4 episode series, it sure does deliiver the goods but not all of it. With good CG animations and soundtrack to get you into the series, it didn\'t make it up for the character development and storyline but considering its only a 4 episode series (2 hour movie if you would say), it had to be rushed in order to fit all the events in and in a proper sequence.

The beginning starts off with the usual routine of investigating in the cybernetic world. As the FLAK was doing their normal routine, they encounter this special girl and things take a nasty turn for ...
