Blue Submarine No. 6

Director: Mahiro Maeda
Year: 1998
Genre: Action (in a Sci Fi setting)
Starring: Nobody you’ve ever heard of…
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278926/


Overview

Monsters or something are destroying the world. Everything is now submerged in water, some sci-fi submarines are mankinds only hopes. Oh, them and one dude who’s the world’s greatest something.

As you may be able to tell it bored me so quickly that I didn’t really care any further than this.


Substance

In short, the characters annoy me, the story didn’t engage me and frankly I never fully understood a lot of what the villains ever said….
The shark-man dude has a particularly irritating voice.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆


Style

The mix of 3D and classic 2D is flawed mostly by 90s CGI being a bit rough. Some designs are nice enough (like the war-whale thing – in fact mostly that), but the execution and animation aren’t.

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆


Entertainment

Oh god no…

I found it hard not to wander off and do to much while it was on. Eventually I just gave up on it. I don’t know how it ends. I’m just glad that it does.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆


Summary

AVOID! A real pity since I’ve been looking forward to seeing this for a while now.

Instead, hunt down and watch the far better ‘Last Exile‘, a 26 part serial by the same company, Gonzo.

Overall Rating: ½☆☆☆☆
