Taifuu no Noruda is the result of attempting to squeeze a movie into half an hour. A lot of things are poorly explained if at all. The storyline is incredibly predictable, mostly because the characters are flat and cliche. The art was decent, nothing special, especially when compared to modern standards. The background music wasn't bad, but the voice actors sounded flat and boring. This is especially noticeable during exclamations; the characters do not sound scared or excited at all. The characters as stated before are incredibly cliche. The main character for the sake of wanting to make his own decisions decides to risk his life to save a girl, Noruda. He fights with his friend because he thinks it is lame to follow him. Characters are not the strongest point in this movie. In fact, Noruda's name is pretty much the only piece of information we learn about her. Nothing is explained about what she is, where she came from, and why she's causing the end of the world. I personally didn't enjoy it at all and would not recommend it.
