Spriggan

The original Spriggan (1989) is my favourite anime. This new remake is a good series although it deviates from the film slightly.

The series has removed the seriousness of the original film. The main character is now happy and very confident compared to reserved and tormented.

Episode two is a retelling of the original film.

They included a heap of cliché anime tropes that did not exist in the original film such as:

• The loud, angry anime girl
• Calling out kicks and punches like a Pokemon ability
• Having characters explain plot instead of showing the audience

Pros:

• Some great moments faithful to the original film
• Great action scenes with violence and mature themes
• Way better than 90% of Netflix anime shows

Cons:

• A few episodes are terrible
• Poor dialogue writing
• Weird 3d models for monsters shot in a completely different frame rate as the series.

Really enjoyed this. Good animation, excellent voice acting, and plenty of action. A fun mix of characters and a concept that has a lot of potential to explore many myths and legends. Looking forward to seeing where it goes next.

A series that plays it safe, hits and more hits.

Adaptation of the manga by Hiroshi Takashige and drawn by Ryoji Minagawa that had a very good one previously as was the 1998 movie.

The truth is that I liked it quite a bit. It is an anime in a somewhat strange format because there are 6 self-contained episodes of approximately 45 minutes.

Except in chapter 5 where the animation noticeably falters, the truth is that it stands out in that area. Far above conventional anime. Fantastic fights with a very catchy soundtrack that goes along with it.

As for the plot, nothing out of the ordinary, companies from countries fighting for relics of an ancient civilization and doing whatever it takes for them.

Very visual, gore at times, it does not skimp on blood and violence which adds to it instead of subtracting.

The season ends very openly and there are no announcements about a second one.

Therefore it is recommended but that's all, let's hope for news.

While this anime doesn't bring anything new to the table it does all the basic anime tropes very well. The protagonist is fun and quirky while also endearing at times, but where the best part of this anime lies is in the fight scenes. While the animation doesn't compare to something like Demon Slayer it is done very well. All the fights are clear and drawn very well. The choreography is amazing and the fight scenes are always tense and never overstay their welcome. While this anime does have a good bit of CGI usage it actually looks very good. Every once in a while it will look out of place but even most anime purists would be happy with how good it looks. If you just want to watch an anime for a good story and some fun fights, this is a great choice.

I think it was well animated, the main characters strength varries depending on who is opponent is for some reason. Introduction into different characters are almost to none. I had no idea a movie existed after some research and I have not watched it yet. Series, lore and everything had alot of potential.
