the rapid flashing lights ending of this ova physically hurt to look at
the mech designs are kinda cool but they're barely animated. the storyline is nonsense both as its own thing and as a dunbine sequel. there are a few funny scenes but none of the characters really have any personality. some of the action is well animated, i like the weight in the on foot battles, but anything positive i can say about the ova overall is ruined by how the end of the story is viscerally unpleasant to watch and made me cover my eyes for a full minute

Preview: i think it's useful to watch this ova only if you had already watched the Dunbine original series.
I look at this ova , as a continuum with the original series. Review: the character design of the mecha is really good, i love the look and the detail, but.... the animation of every battle really lack a lot, even in comparison with the first Dunbine series. For the characters that you can find, i think you can't expect too much, they all seem like other Tomino characters, i don't have another and more accurate description. The animation is overall good, except for the combat. The don't think somebody can understand ... |
