Brief synopsis of Detonator Orgun

Tomoru Shindo is a recent college grad who, while trying to figure out what to do next, whiles away his time playing games on his Pysch-Sim. However, his peaceful life gets shaken up when aliens begin invading his dreams, warning him that the Earth must prepare for a large scale disaster. Meanwhile, a suit of alien armor is proving to be a complex puzzle for Michi, a young military research scientist. Not long after that, a band of hostile aliens attack the Earth, stating that they must destroy the renegade soldier, Orgun, and head straight for Tomoru. Contains the entire series.

Rated - 2 starsNot Very Good

The animation is dissapointing (the ears on all the characters look ridiculous) and the plot is uninspiring and convoluted. The Artificial City 5 is quite a cool idea and some of the futuristic mod-cons are interesting but these are the only good things about Orgun. Alot of this film made me cringe. Evangelion is much better.

This is a must for any fans of Mecha mManga. If you've ever seen neon genesis evangelion or Zone of Enders....well this is much better. A little slow at times (it is over 2 hours long) The battle scenes are well worth the wait and they even manage to get a twist thrown in for good measure. Rent this, you won't be disappointed.

Rated - 2 starsGood animation

Si Aust from England , 30/04/2005

Cool anime, good animation for the year it was released. Only thing that let it down badly was the English voice acting. The humour is never the same, and overall it was genrally poor.

Story seemed pretty good, nothing that new. Enjoy this film for the action and animation and you'll be ok :)
