The Humanoid

Feb 13, 2012

The Humanoid is stupid, pure and simple.  But really, that is what makes this OVA fun.  I am not ashamed in declaring my love for campy/bad entertainment.  This one hits all the things that make them fun to watch.  A complex, indecipherable storyline, that has no context or logical progression.  Animation that is sub-par and overly dramatic.  The sound is delightfully bad--hokey music, uninspired voice acting, and the required action sequence paired with a love song.  The characters are pretty forgettable and don't really develop at all. There was some weird love triangle... See full review

The Dark Myth

Jun 24, 2010

This anime is just bad.  Not campy bad, just bad. You pretty much need a religious degree to comprehend any of what's going on.  The story itself feels like obtaining a religious degree--boring.  The story is superficially pretty cliche--a young man feels drawn to some ancient artifact, only to discover he is the reincarnation of something or another.  That's basically all I could really glean from watching it. The animation is passable, but nothing to particularly capture the eye, except maybe some of the backgrounds, which are nice.  Some of the ancient art is cool to look at... See full review
