Definitely agree! Trigger knows how to make a blast, and this movie is perhaps the definition. On another note, I also happened to enjoy Fire Force, which is crazy how fantasy fire-fighters is one meta I'm surprised hasn't caught on yet, since I certainly think it's neat (I should chekc that game out).

Darkside Blues (1994) - I only remember seeing this anime once on VHS when I was a kid, and I barely remember what happens. I went into this anime expecting it to be an underappreciated gem. To be honest, it's a decent film. Although the animation in Darkside Blues is excellent, the story is disappointing in my opinion. The animation is incredible, and I adore the film's dark tone. Despite his lack of involvement, it has the feel of a Yoshiaki Kawajiri film. It has lovely dark shading, and I like how dark colors are used. The backgrounds are extremely well-detailed, and the character movement is incredibly fluid. The soundtrack for the film is composed by Kazuhiko Toyama (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII), and it is very well done in my opinion. The film's melancholy tone is perfectly captured by the music.

Darkside Blues has a great premise, but the characters ruined the movie for me. None of them piqued my interest, and I had trouble caring about what was going on. The DVD quality of the film has aged terribly, and an HD remaster is urgently required. When an HD remaster is released, I can see myself enjoying it even more with a better mindset. Also, the English dub for this film sucks. I was unable to find the Japanese version, so I was stuck watching the English dub instead. I recommend staying away from the English dub.

Overall, Darkside Blues is an average film that I only recommend if you're interested in seeing it. Rating: 6.5/10

I inexplicably started watching Android Kikaider: The Animation and it already looks very interesting so far.

Oh man, I've been wanting to watch Promare for ages but I just...keep forgetting

"Pure Trigger" sounds amazing.

I got bored with it after a couple of episodes. I might go back to it soon. Currently watching My Hero Academia and Ranma 1/2.
