Story
I usually start my reviews by going though a brief background story. Sadly, I can't give a really good one because I haven't a damn clue what is going on. It starts out with an airship from Mars burning to crisps just before entering the atmosphere. Then, without any link, we suddenly see a gunfight between 3 girls and 3 alien-like lifeforms called Ancients, with one girl suddenly getting her head blown off. Joining the fight is Takeru, who wears a Masked Rider/Power Ranger like get up armed with special abilities to save the other 2 girls. This randomly leads to a brief history about how he was forced to don the suit by his father. Then, the group is given a mission to protect the burned up airship while they ship it to the USA, which was supposed to be burned to a crisp, so I haven't a clue how they found parts to ship back. They then get attacked by more powerful ancients, which ultimately lead to Takeru using a more powerful weapon to kill of the leader. Then guess what, in the final scene, we find out that humans are actually invaders from Mars, and that the Ancients are the real Earthlings OMG SHOCK. Wait, how the hell did the story lead to that? The linked between each part of hte story is next to nothing, and to have 4-5 scenes in 19 minutes, man, their plot has got to be shorter than this review.
Art
2005? I could have sworn it was made in the original Macross and Gundam era.
Sound
You remember how as kids we went to the toys store and played with those noisy "laser guns"? Well, the guns sounded just like that.
Character
There were like 8 characters, yet, most of them aren't even important enough to be given a name. Those that are only have their names mumbled as a passing remark.
Enjoyment
Frankly, I enjoyed seeing how bad this is.
The real reason I watched this was because I have NEVER seen an average score of less than 4 on MAL before. Heck, even random hentai has higher scores. So I thought, can there really be something that bad? Classic case of curiosity killed the cat.
I pity Chihara Minori for ever being part of this mess. Thank goodness your career went on track because of Nagato Yuki. Seriously.
