Highly Recommended Contemplative Fantasy (Rating: 5.00) Review : Nazca is a rare and wonderful gem, a contemplative fantasy for people who like to think as well as be entertained. Indeed, this series renders a compelling cast of characters (especially Tate-san/Lord Yawaru, the complex anti-hero), a strong plot, gorgeous visuals, and elegant music -- what more could an anime aficionado want? A Bomb (Rating: 2.00) Review : The animation was only improved by haveing CG added. Otherwise back to saturday morning cartoons. The music is top notch, even though it was a remix of Johann Sabastian Bach it was very well done, I think he would approve. The plot, silly, but that's just anime. The pace...somebody SHOOT ME!! My God, can you draw it out any longer?! The whole thing could have been fininshed on the first CD!! And it does get preachy, but then again that is the same with all Anime, eco/political/social/american bashing is the norm in almost all anime from Japan. It gets two stars for music and CG animation, that's all. good fantasy anime (Rating: 4.00) Review : This is a well done, intelligent fantasy. I didn't find the plot to be particularly slow-moving at all [of course, I wasn't expecting explosions and battles and naked chicks every five seconds: your definition of "slow plot" may vary]. I didn't care for the CGI/animation mix that was done in certain parts -- it wasn't seamless and I found it to be distracting; the character animation however is quite pleasing and their Incan warrior incarnations I thought especially well-designed [historical innacuracies and all -- this *is* a fantasy, you'll recall]. The opening JS Bach tune by Eccentric Opera is a nice change from the usual j-pop. Overview: intelligent dialogue and good looking guys fighting each other in nifty costumes.. works for me! :) What really bothered me is the plot. There's nothing wrong with the plot itself, but it moves terribly s-l-o-w... After the first disc, all we know is that several people living in Japan know eachother from previous lives during the time of the Incan empire. Not too much to show for after 90 minutes of animation, right? The complete lack of any progression in the story during the first disc has put me off buying the others. If you watch anime for interesting character designs and the animation, you'll enjoy this title. If you watch anime for the stories being told, I can't recommend this disc. The creators of this anime thought it would be a good idea to mesh computer generated scenes in with the animation. It wasn't a good idea. The characters look out of place and distorted whenever the CG backgrounds are used. Nazca is an all right story, but you can pretty much guess how it's going to end. I don't feel it's worth purchasing 4 DVD's to see the entire saga. |
