On the Spot - The best word to describe this anime movie is majestic. The feel of the overall atmosphere is a mixture of Gundam Wing meets Samurai X meets a can of whoop-ass. With hybrid animation with CGI, the lighting effects and action scenes deliver astounding adrenaline-pumping action. The initial scenes are very eye-catching, showing two extremely mobile planes able to transform into Katana-wielding robots. A lot of broken windows and flaming objects are seen as the two enter a crowded city. The plot of the movie consists of a man determined to recovered all the body parts of his murdered lover. In my opinion creepy, but lets just go with it. He tracks down mikuras and slaughters them to recover the so called lost body parts. In the meantine, however, while still on his quest, he uses those body parts and assemble them into a powerful katana. The show maintains a serious tone and never indulges in slapstick, face faults, or super deformed characters. It avoids heavy expositions. Dialogue tends to be short and viewers have to infer what is going on based on very little presented information. The team had left out substantial amounts of information from the show, printing them in a booklet of the final DVD package. If you love robots, and if you love katanas, this might be the perfect movie for you. Cheers!
