Anime that I finished in the last week.

Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman - This was a very enjoyable crossover. I'm surprise that this got dubbed on Netflix given how niche of a anime that it is. Very little people in the US knows about Devilman. Cyborg 009 is somewhat well known for airing on Toonami like several years ago, but hardly a mainstream title. The plot is your typical crossover plot (Two heroes fighting each other at first and end up teaming up to beat up a common enemy), but I thought they handle it pretty well. I really like how they handle the characters and the English dub was pretty good. The animation was solid too. I still wish for a proper anime adaption of the Devilman manga from start to finish. Overall I was still happy with this anime and I plan to watch it again. Grade: B

Golgo 13: The Professional - I only seen a few episodes of the recent Golgo 13 TV series and I really like it. I plan to watch the rest of the Golgo 13 TV series soon. While I put the Golgo 13 TV series on hold (It's over 50 episodes), I decided to check out the movie from 1983. I personally like this movie. I still think Duke Togo is one of the greatest anime badass hero ever. The action was top notch and Duke Togo really stole the whole movie for me. The pacing is actually very good and nothing in this anime felt boring. The animation had a really dark and sezzy feel to it which I felt like it was perfect for the movie's tone. I also felt like the English dub was pretty good. A little wooden at times, but not bad at all.

For things I didn't like about the movie was the CG. This movie was one of the first anime that used CG and I laugh how badly it looks now. In 1983, it looked great but not 33 years later. The CG scene came out of nowhere and made me go "WTF?!". I also felt like the story could have been a bit better. They could have freshen out the rest of the characters since the characters aren't really developed all that well. If this anime had a stronger plot, I would give this anime a A grade. This is a great movie to watch despite the flaws. Grade: B+
