Ao no roku go

Blue Submarine is excellent! Of course, if you watch the edited version of the cartoon network then you're out of luck. Keep in mind that this is an OVA series so no one should be dissapointed. Most series today are only 26 episodes long! Again this OVA was great; it reminded me of Cowboy Bebop, that being the characters, elements, and, more importantly, the music. The music was great, it added so much! I really recommend it to anyone and it's great for any collection.

The story of 'Blue Submarine 6' is in fact the idea from H.G.Wells novel 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' taken to a much larger scale, global that is. Both style and quality are very good and the computer animated scenes fit perfectly into the film, even though the series is quit short the characters are logical and not 'flat', one will find problems looking for 'black and white' thinking in this film. But most astonishing is the effect this film leaves compared to 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' and the earlier 'real actor' movies from 1933, 1977, 1996 - whereas one could easily drop of the ideas H.G.Wells might had with this novel if viewed on just a 'small ocean island' that no one knows it is hard to deny those same ideas when transfered on a global scale. So I would recommend this series as it offers both - good entertainment and some deep thoughts.

As long as you get the 3x disc Special Edition (not the cut for TV version) you should expect a good evenings entertainment.

It's a cracking good SF eco\ action story that manages to make it's point and stay entertaining at the same time. Once the action starts in episode 1 it's a roller-coaster ride to the very end. And you'll find your emotions and view point change more than once as more of the story is revealed.

The characters are stock in their (anime) attitudes, but the animation brings them to life. And it's the animation that takes the biscuit, with stunning 3D effects that they are only now beginning to match- it was ahead of it's time for sure.

As to why it's stays so undiscovered remains a mystery, every reviewer of note has given this anime a well deserved A, yet it stays in R1 land! Anyway, lets continue to keep it our little secret ;-)

There was a fair amount of buzz around this when it first was released. It is a visually entertaining movie. Just couldn't get into this one. Some parts were interesting and I didn't have any issues with losing interest. But, as a whole it's just a mishmash of stories I've either read or seen before so there want anything particularly noteworthy. I found the conversations between the humans and mutants to be more interesting than the action. Unfortunately, these interactions were few. 5 out of 10 for me as I didn't really like it of dislike it.

I seen Blue Submarine No.6 and I enjoy it. The story of it is about in the near future, the oceans have risen, causing all land at sea level to be flooded. With the expansion of the oceans, humanity has found a new enemy in Zorndyke. A war has erupted between the surface dwellers and the sea dwellers, and mankind is placing all of its hope in the new vessel Blue Submarine No.6 and her crew. It a great Anime so anyone may enjoy it like me so. I hope a new DVD of Blue Submarine No.6 will come out soon and it will anyway I love ever things about it so I give it a 10 out of 10.
