V.R. Troopers (1994)
It was 10 times better then power rangers
well thats my statement anyways.
I liked VR-troopers as a kid. this series was a combination of the Power rangers and Starwars.
it had it's childish goofs, but the fighting scenes where fun to watch for me at that age. I'm not gonna judge this series for having childish contents. couse it is A KIDS show!.
besides that it had a decent story.
you have your standard villain that wants to take over the world. with his robot army. and I find that the Robot army gave it a little more realism. couse in the power rangers you can clearly see it's a lame ass monster costume.
the whole Trooper thing was all about special crystals that acted as battery's. for powering high technical suits.
unlike the first negative comment that was given, this series had it's value for me. + I still like the themesong LOL
Hokuto no Ken (1986)
Rambo in Animestyle
First I'd like to comment that it the animation and graphical detail is very well done.(without any lame 3d effects except for a few lightning bolts) you wont see many animes that have this unique style witch give you the pure 80's look. Personally you can hardly even see it's anime in the beginning cause the eyes and face shapes kinda give you the impression that your looking at a Marvel Comicbook.
The main charter Ken reminds me of Sylvester Stalone instantly. calm and serious but brutal in battle. combining that with energy exploding moves and a thin story line you can't go around it that this movie is Rambo in anime.
There's a lot of muscle in this movie and all fighters look like there on steroids. but it's done in such a way that you'll never think the fighters are overpowered. ((unlike in Dragonball Z))
You'll see a lot of gore guts,and flying body parts why'll watching so really advice a 16+ logo on it even dough there's NO sexual interaction whatsoever. this cruel way of fighting also gives a couple of "armless jokes".
You have to be a fan of Cruel fighting and drama if you are interested in viewing this. the story is basically "get the girl and save the word" so don't expect a mind bottling storyline. but just a day's life in a world that is on the edge of destruction.
without a doupth one of Toei animations best works.
