Nadesico

Type: 26 episodes
Description:
The Nadesico is a privately owned battleship by the Nergal corporation minding their own business (yup, they can't help their own business interferes with all others). It is the earths most powerful battleship and has to solve the riddle with the invading Jovian Lizards who sends powerful robotic weapons through "tulips" (warpgates) by some unknown technology. The Nadesicos crew is a jumble of different personalities, they are the best of what they do, but can it be used in combat situations?

Treefinger's comments:
Mymymy, this series mixes action and humour (mostly humour) into a very enjoyable mix. There is a stagnation in the middle of the series but it gets better again at the end. Very enjoyable. The personalities has their twistes, and some are truly faboulous (RuriRuri rules!).


Nadesico - Prince of Darkness

Type: Movie
Description:
Set after the series, the Nadesico has once again to battle misguided evil but with a new crew (most of them are new anyway).

Treefinger's rating:
Treefinger's comments:
Not as good as the series, but quite ok anyways. I saw this before the series, but if I were to see it again, I would probably give it a higher rating since I could understand the jokes then ^_^.


Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the valley of winds)

Type: Movie
Description:
Nausicaa is the only surviving child of Jhil, the king of the valley of Wind. They live in the shadow of the Sea of Corruption, a vast area of alien growth which slowly expands to swallow up the continent. One day, a distant war suddenly impinge upon the peaceful valley.

Treefinger's comments:
Miyazaki has done another masterpiece with this movie. This is as good as it gets. Nausicaas small animal is the cutest animal I have ever seen without exaggerated features (large eyes, cute voices and so on...), and the manga is even better than the anime.

Quest's rating:
Quest's comments:
This anime is based on an extensive manga (some 1200 pages) drawn by Miyazaki some years previous. The manga is quite possibly the most epic comic ever drawn. If you have not read it yet, you should immediately repent.

Nausicaa differs from other main characters in Miyazaki's movies in that she is a true superhero. She is a master at combat, she is a skilled biologist and a inspiring leader. Main function of supporting cast is to exclaim "Hime-sama!" in impotent protest (or sometimes anguish). This is an early work of his (though it was no doubt impressive when published 1970) as is apparent from the less refined animations and character renderings, but still impressive.


Neon Genesis Evangelion

Type: 26 episodes
Description:
Angels are attacking mankind! Or are they? It's up to 14-year old children to stop them using giant mechas.

Karja's rating:
Karja's comments:
A masterpiece! Action, psychology, subtlety, great characters and large mechas. I found the biblical references very interesting too. One of the few anime series that didn't get worse towards the end.

Treefinger's comments:
Karja keeps raving about this one, dunno though, it never caught me. I like the silent Rei character though, but beside that, I find it quite like all other anime mecha series. But why is the hero always 14 yrs old? That always gets me.


Neon Genesis Evangelion - Death

Type: Movie
Description:
A sort of "video-symphony" with clips from the series.

Karja's rating:
Karja's comments:
This is not at all a bad movie. It's just that it's totally pointless for people who have seen the TV series. (I thought, at least.)

Treefinger's rating:
Treefinger's comments:
This sucks. (Had to say that to get on Karjas nerves a bit ^_^)


Neon Genesis Evangelion - End of Evangelion

Type: Movie
Description:
Ever wondered what happened to the people in the series? Ever wonder if mankind survives?

Karja's rating:
Karja's comments:
Continuing on the NGE series. A must-see if you've seen the series. Quite emotional at times.


Ninja Cadets

Type: Movie
Description:
Four teenagers wanting to become ninjas has to prove their worth by stealing a priceless scroll. But one of them is a princess and the bad guys want to kill this princess, but which one is it?

Treefinger's rating:
Treefinger's comments:
Well, amusing at times, the ninja action is great. BUT how the HELL can they put in a 40 METER TALL robot in the end of this one? Destroys the movie completely in my taste.


Ninja Ressurection

Type: Movie
Description:
A story about christians in old japan, with a lot of ninjas jumping around.

Treefinger's rating:
Treefinger's comments:
This sucks, it really do. It is among the worst I have ever seen with bad ninja action trying first to prevent satan to rise, failing that and then try to kill satan that runs around killing people with his own intestines. Too much unsolicited violence and gore and no story.


Ninja Scroll

Type: Movie
Description:
Ninjas in a "pseudo-past" Action.

Karja's rating:
Karja's comments:
A good film. Don't remember all of it, so I might change the rating if I see it again.
