Blade Runner: Black Lotus

Took a bit to get going but once it did it wounded up being pretty soild. Animation was good, the storyline was good too, acting wasnt bad. The action was really good. I hope to see more maybe another season leading up into the movie.

This is not a bad animation, some of the reviews on here are too harsh. The animation is pleasant and atmospheric, although the characters are a little stiff. The plot is well thought out and intriguing. I'll definitely watch t all.

It is Los Angeles in the year 2032; Elle, a young woman, wakes up with no recollection of her past. An early confrontation shows that she is highly proficient in martial arts and other combat skills. She sets about finding out who she is; once she has learnt enough she sets about getting revenge on those who abused her and those like her.

I know a lot of people were disappointed by this but I really liked it. I thought it nicely captured the feel of the Blade Runner films. At first I was unsure about the 3D animation but once the action started I thought it was great. Some may say the characters could be more realistic; I'm not so sure... the closer animated characters come to looking human the more one wonders why it isn't live action. Elle is a fine central character, even if her big twist which is revealed very early on, will be obvious to most viewers. The story moves at a decent pace. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of 'Blade Runner' or animated sci-fi action in general... at least give it a go; if you don't like it you can always drop it.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

This really eats me. I did have great expectations for the series. I love the original Blade Runner and the cyberpunk genre. There is so much potential.

The first episode has some beautiful scenes and the audio is well done. However, it is not enough to save the series.

This is like the Cyberpunk 2077 game. It was ok, but left me cold.

The bar has been set high. Black Lotus is not as stylish and polished as Arcane, League of Legends. So, if you want to enjoy a modern masterpeace, watch Arcane. That is pure art.

I hate to say this, but in my opinion, Blade Runner: Black Lotus has a lot of potential... wasted.

Not interested in the other reviews, interested in what I thought.

And I'm a colossal BR fan of every single version I can get my hands on. The original movie, the DC, the FC, the sequel, the staggeringly brilliant 1997 game and of course the original book.

So while I'm not a fan of anime or animation in general, I had to see this given the subject.

And while it's not perfect, as a BR fan who enjoys all content set in the LA 2019- world, this was a decent job as 6x 20-minute episodes.

It had a mix of the game's feel alongside vibes of 2049, and it was intriguing to see a couple of 2049 cameos, albeit a little disappointing there was nothing of the original movie really, aside a building with a distinct resemblence to the Bradford Building.

But that was ok - the story? It was decent. I actually gave a damn about the characters, and the finale wasn't bad at all. Maybe a little rushed and lacking depth but it was fun.

People expecting Philip K Dick-esque philosophy and mind-blowing new tropes might be a bit disappointed in this, but if you just like BR and that world, as long as you're not expecting photo-realistic visuals, the episodes should keep your interest.

Not quite sure what Adam Jensen was doing in there though...
