Blue Gender

The beginning of the story does not shine with originality. Simple Japanese guy (though not student) finds a illness and decides to go to  cryo sleep until humanity finds a way of treatment. The door into  summer, but is not a bright future. Absolutely. The guy wakes up and sees around soldiers and giant beetles battling with them. Immediately catches the eye first absurd - why the pilot is not protected, even banal glass? I'm trying to count how many pilots have died because of this oversight and it was boring.
I admired the ruthlessness of the series. There is a war of annihilation, and people are dying like flies, and much more banal or ridiculous than heroic. Looking at such a war on the streets with little balls on the roadsides, it is truly frightening. Especially in this plan is successful the first part of the series. There is no intrigue and strategy, but there is a remarkable character. The soldiers are accustomed to live, fight and die, without the slightest hope of victory, the people trying to survive on a planet that no longer belongs to them, and the stranger from the past trying to live according to moral principles irrevocably gone around the world. Upon reaching the "Second Earth", the characters are not so interesting, but there is more intrigue: "What is sleeping? and what is their value? ".













Unfortunately, the schedule of the show makes us doubt that he was released in April 2000, at times, it seems that he is much older. Yes, and "skins" in the film, in contrast to other models of the cycles do not look so impressive, so fans of brilliant military equipment and other "Nirvashey \ Lancelot" will be disappointed, not noticing that, denying technique, in general, and it is not desired gloss and shine the authors gave in return a lot of useful information. For example, the conditions in which, apparently, and created a similar type of weapon or a scene in which soldiers are repairing these "skins" with the most common wrenches.

There is also a positive side. is, first of all, characters.
Our hero did not limp, do not fall into a stupor (more than would the average person), listen to reasonable arguments, and shakes itself into their heads. Normal, appropriate person.
The main heroine. I very much sympathize with the heroine. A typical screw in war system. It even has its own number, the forgotten, and called in the name, only in rare cases (in particular, when they want to use for comfort).
Minor also did not let us down, their characters become clear to us, though, and outlined just a couple of strokes.

Toward the end, the story turns into an average, in all respects, space fiction. But this fantasy, I would say classic.

 

So if you take the time to watch good fantastic anime and do not mind the abundance of still frames and irrationality in the plot 'Blue Gender' is for you.
