Still, the animation starts at a high quality level. While some people, like me, will find this a plus, there will be a relatively large amount of audience that will be thrown off by it.

Yet now reviving the 'antique' style with nowadays animation quality and computer generated imagery. And as so, the producers decided to preserve the 80's feel in the styling of the characters and environment.
TOWARD THE TERRA ANIME LEGENDS MOVIE
The overall storyline, and specially the characters and their development are top-notch.Īlthough the Art is certainly the most unique aspect of show it is also a double edged knife.Īs I mentioned before the show is a remake of an old 80's movie with the same name. And there's also one or two of inconsistencies in the storyline. There were a small amount of plot lines that were only explored superficially, like the origin of some characters, past conflicts etc. But even so, it was one of the best endings that crossed my eyes, and yet I have the feeling that one more episode would have made it the best ending of all. To be honest, I think it was a bit rushed. Specially after the amount of events/hardships they are forced to suffer.Ī few words to the ending now. but all in all, they all have their space and role on the outline of the plot, and it's hard to stay indifferent to them.

There will be characters to like, characters to dislike, characters you wish you had seen more of, characters you wish you could beat the crap of. And surprisingly enough, also does some of the secondary supporting cast like Karina, Artela, Murdock or Zel. The primary supporting cast constituted mainly by Shiroei, Soldier Blue, Physis, Tony, Matsuka, Swena and Sam also undergoes great development. Both filled with sorrow and grief for their losses, and yet the bearers of great determination.īut not only of Jomy and Keith lives the story. Where one is respected the other is feared, while one created friends the other spawned enemies. And each choses a different path as they climb to the top. Each of them faces a large amount of heavy responsibilities and hardships since their youth to their adulthood. They seem to be the two sides of the same coin. The two main protagonists, Keith and Jomy (who are first presented as young teenagers), are the best example of this as they both undergo major character development. Looking at such an extensive cast, I would never have imagined they could suffer so many changes throughout the series. The characters and their development are without a doubt the best part of the show. As the anime progresses however, the alternation becomes less spaced and finally inexistent, as number of events draw the main characters and their respective races to the inevitable clash. The pot shifts it's focus from one to another from time to time, and it does so in the form of two separate arcs for the first ~10 episodes. Storyline that is spread out through a wide range of years and concentrates attention in the life of the two main characters.(since their coming of age to their adulthood).

Yet as the show progresses, it grows darker and darker and death, sorrow, fury, vengeance, guilt and war become an integral part of the storyline. It is quite the emotional rollercoaster, and it starts quite light themed, with emphasis to friendship and peace. The Story tells the tale of two races, the Human and the Mu (who though joined by blood, have yet failed to have a peaceful coexistence), and the events that led to their inevitable conflict. Instead, it will grow on you as it grows in quality itself, and at some point you realize your initial skepticism is gone and all you want is to see what the story reserves next.

It will not sweep you off your feet from the beginning. To be honest, the show is a slow starter. While this may seem like a not so viable mix, the reality is that it works quite well. So expect an outer space futuristic setting, large scale space battles, a large cast of characters, supernatural abilities, and one or two typical 80's cliche. It fits on a very specific sub genre of Science Fiction, referred to as Space Opera. Is a remake of an old 80's movie that was adapted from a manga from the same year.
TOWARD THE TERRA ANIME LEGENDS SERIES
The review will be long, since the series deserve it, and since I'll try to look at it in detail (yet keeping it spoiler free). A show that consistently climbed the ladder of my top shows the season, and that finally ended up in my top 3 of all time. After watching one of the greatest shows in the later years, and knowing how overlooked it was due various reasons: the simultaneous arrival of new potentially more appealing series like Claymore or Lucky Star, the possibly not so appealing genre, and the unique art style I felt compelled to right a review on Terra e.
