Group Anime Assessment of Blue Gender: The Warrior
(ANB be aware: This collection was initially reviewed on 30-October-2004.)
As remakes go, Blue Gender: The Warrior isn’t dangerous. Having seen the Blue Gender TV collection just a few instances, it was tempting to only pace by the primary half of the film. It fairly intently follows the unique TV collection, however at an accelerated tempo. There have been just a few attention-grabbing modifications although, so don’t simply spin by.
The 2nd-half of the film is the place the vast majority of the modifications from the unique collection lay. I received’t spoil them, however the ending of the film is totally different from the TV collection. Gone is also the subplot with the members of the Sleeper Unit as there’s not time to get into that. Gone too is the rampant sexual content material of the TV collection. For me, this was a great factor to lose.
As with all film remakes of a TV collection, much more is misplaced than sub-stories and sub-characters. The romance between Yuji and Marlene doesn’t have the time to gel that it did within the TV collection. Actually, after what went down between them as they flee Korea, one wonders how they fell in love in any respect. I do know they’re speculated to fall in love and in some methods, it’s plausible, however in different methods, it was troublesome to swallow. Nonetheless, it might have been worse.
Backside line:
No intercourse an no preaching make the film a bit higher than the TV collection, however the compression of a lot story into an hour and thirty-minutes negates that benefit. Nonetheless, it’s price a lease.
