This is the first anime

This is the first anime review post on the blog, written by a friend Junxian.

Yes, this blog is getting more dangerous for your wallet.

Here's my take on the movie.

I didn't really like the plot here, although I love the 5-episode season 1.

Resurrection is about Sio trying to bring Afro's dad back to life to fight Afro. It sure sounds epic but the final fight scene between the two Afros. Thankfully, that's just one of the few fight scenes.

There's one part where I really cringed and it's not a fight scene. It's when Afro is asking one of the Brothers on the whereabouts of the Number 1 headband. So the Brother challenged Afro to a dice game, which if he wins, he will get the information. Afro did play the game and lost. But seriously? Why won't Afro hold his sword and threaten for information in the first place? It just makes no sense. This movie is not about making sense but still...

Besides the story, everything else is great. The art is beautiful in high def. Animation is smooth and slick. They did use a little 3D inside the movie but it was blended in well.

Anyway, if you like season 1, you'll probably like Resurrection too.
