Geisters

I'll admit I didn't even get past the first two episodes before calling it quits. The two main things that turned me off right away where.

ONE: Some of the worst attempts at blending cell animation and cgi graphics I've seen in quite some time. The cell animation on it's own is passable but not great. The computer generated monsters and various vehicles look fairly good. The problem comes when the two styles of animation interact. It kind of feels like a really cheap sci-fi show that's painfully obvious they're using a green screen. The actors and monsters just don't look like they're really interacting with each other.

Two: The English dubbing left a lot to be desired. Poor writing for the dialogue overall.

Three: The plot is unimaginative and tired. A meteor decimating planet earth maybe a realistic future but it's been done to death already.

This series does boast a lot of political agenda and character history similar to Gundum Wing. On that note it may appeal to fans of that series but all in all I'd say pass this one by.

I have seen quite a bit of anime in the past and in the present, in fact, I am watching one right now; one of the best, "Silent Mobius". However, this one isn't it.

I saw this series' first DVD when I was at the beach one year and, because of it's cheap price, I decided to buy it and try it. The first episodes weren't too bad, though the English dubbing could have been better psych-inked and the animation wasn't the best I have but, true to my form I gave it a matter of doubt and bought volumes two and three because they were not expensive and I like to complete a series when I start one. Instead of getting better, it got worse. Very bad acting choices and the writing on the English dub side was worse on the second and definitely the third disc than on the first. There is supposed to be a second season of this series, but I don't think will pursue this further and just cut my losses........

Though, I did get a very cool pin with the first disc, so it wasn't a total loss.
