Well, here is my notes, and my REAL opinion you can find in the bottom:
History:
The history and simple, like the first anime. A young 12-year-old begins his adventure in a world where humans and Pokemon live in harmony. Pretty simple, no?
I think (8/10) is good.
Art:
The art in my opinion is very similar to that of all pokemon animes that I already watched. I did not notice much, however, some effects (mostly 3D) were very well done. I'll take (9/10) here.
Music:
I am a great lover of music, and did not lack good choices. I was happy to keep the original tracks with some remixes. I really liked the piano version of the Lavender Town. (9/10)
Characters:
The character managed to stand out, each with a strong personality. Here there is much to talk about I guess I'll stay in (9/10)
Overall:
Well...
The Pokemon franchise nowadays is no longer the same as before. In fact, is not the same since 1996. But why am I saying this? Well, unfortunately it was not what I expected. Over time, the anime(the FIRST anime) started to get monotonous and somewhat repetitive. Over time, I lost my interest. Recently I watched Pokemon: Black and White, and I can say that I gave at least a 6/10.
In short, it was missing the "glow" over time (I can say the same of the games).
Well, believe or not, I found this anime by chance. All I can say, in a way, watching this was a real thrill from beginning to end, not only by making references to the "roots" but also because it is what the Pokemon anime should be from the beginning. If you want my true opinion, this should have been the only Pokemon anime ever produced. Not only because it does justice to the image, but also because it, like I said, is the way it should be. It shows how a true pokemon trainer should behave, feel the energy. Having a pokemon connected to mind, as if it were a second part of you.
Pokemon was (and still is) an anime that will stay in the hearts of many people. Perhaps you are saying that I'm only exaggerating in the notes and I'm just another fanboy. Well, I am!
Pokemon was one of the animes/games that opened my mind when I was a child to a world called imagination. From other animes and cartoons, will be not only mine, but the preferred (or one of them) of many people. Honestly, it's a shame what the Pokemon franchise became. It was very good what they did here, they brought the magic back, thank you very much!
