REVIEW
On air
starts April 1st, 1999
"Better
man" has been expected to be good title from the beginning. Because
the main staff are the same as the great work "Gaogaigor". But
you had better know that "Better man" is totally different type
of Anime from "Gaogaigor".
Better man can be categorized, Horror, or Bio Horror.
According
to the director Yonetani, he has been wishing to do Kaijyu movie (Meaning
like Gozilla, Gamera) in Anime. However, if he simply do Kaijyu hero Anime,
it will be Gaogaigor Kaijyu version. He did not want it. So, he approched
to is with Horror Anime.
In
fact, Better man has very good Horror taste. It has a full of Bio technology
scientific approch, but at the same time, it is horror. We AMO put it
more like Bio Horror.
And we have to declare about the well done produce, sound effect.
Starting from Opening song till preview of next story, it is well produced.
It is very creepy. Especially, Preview of next story which announced by
calm and slow Sakura's voice is really creepy! For example, she says "Your
pancreatic juice will be flooded", "Your gene will be torn".
We AMO is planning to make a Video which made only with Preview of next
story (Just for our internel fun!).
We
should mention about Design. Character design is quite good. Especially,
girls are so cute, sexy and cool. It is absolutly in fashion. However,
it does not interput the horror atmosphere.
Our hero Keita is not typical type of Hero. He is not cool, and
not brave at all. It may be new approch. His funny type of character is
an accent in dark atomsphere of the story.
We also have to mention about the design of Monsters (Better man).
It is really cool. Its cool as Gamera III Gamera! The director wants to
make Kaijyu Anime. So, it is no wonder that they put their power on the
design of monsters (Kaijyu). We are looking forward that somebody make
Action figure or Kit.
The battle scene of Better man is very well produced. It usies excellent
CG effect without interupting of Cell Anime atmosphere. (Sunrise is good
at this kind of work.)
The
story is still on air. (Not yet finished.) So, we should not conclude
our review. However, we strongly expect that Better man will be the remarkable
title in this year, 1999.
