Marika was learning how to be a pirate, so she fumbled sometimes, but was never a bumbling idiot. Every slice of life show is character driven, and one thing I loved about the BSP characters was that they were believably competent. Bad bad bad.Įven with the awful plot, I was honestly just as disappointed in the character department. It even ended with a whimper that was hilariously close to Evangelion's "Congratulations!" outro. WHAT? Who is this kid? Why should we give a shit about him if he was never mentioned in the series? WHY IS EVERYONE JUST HELPING HIM TO BEGIN WITH? The longer it went on the more frustrating it got. In Abyss they literally INTRODUCE A NEW MAIN CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE that then becomes the center of the plot. Typically when you think of movie spinoffs there's a pretty tried-and-true formula if you want to chug one out you've already got likeable and established main characters from the series so just come up with some sort of villain or situation and have your characters overcome it. It was confusing as hell, hardly made any sense, and was almost completely removed from anything that happened in the main series. Honestly though these are minor issues in comparison to. It really just looked different, not necesarily bad (aside from one ship being a CGI monstrosity towards the end), so I'll at least give them points for that. They also flat-out changed the look of at least one location completely, so I felt like it was at least partially a different group that made this movie. Take this with a grain of salt though it's been a few months since I saw the main show. I noticed something was wrong almost immediately since some of the characters just looked different than they did in the anime. Disappointment really is the perfect word for it considering how much I loved B.S.P. It's a fun, cute, and wholesome show that has competent, likeable characters so I'd definitely recommend it: 8/10 for sure.Įnter Abyss of Hyperspace, the movie sequel(?) to the anime. To top it all off, contrary to the title there is literally no fan service. It's also very pretty and the ships look darn cool. It's a fun premise and the original show is definitely a dark horse considering how well it melds together slice of life, action, and sci-fi. Even though their main 'job' is mostly for show, they are legitimate pirates in an actual warship, so they do encounter real threats from time to time as well. They board cruisers clad in full pirate gear and basically put on a good show. Since their work is 'legal' and luxury space cruisers are insured against piracy, legitimate space pirates basically work for insurance companies and cruisers to give wealthy tourists a fun experience. It's about Marika Kato, a high school girl who decides to become a legal "Space Pirate" after inheriting a letter of marque from her father. is a great anime that I'm a personal fan of. The animation quality has dropped since the series, the story seems drawn out and simplified at the same time, the Sci-fi elements are unimaginative, and rather than make new music they rehashed the old Momoclo song.īefore I tear into this, let me give you some lore in case you haven't heard of Bodacious Space Pirates. KILL HIM!Īside from this show ruining character the movie adds nothing to the franchise. barnacle manages to squeeze his way into every fucking scene adding nothing but irritation and gloom. This self-insert hero fantasy would be bad enough as a sideplot, but the omnipresent This archetype ringing any bells? He barges his way into the show and finds himself surrounded and pampered by cute girls. So why when making the film did they decide to replace the main character with a dreary, dickless little shit? Kanata Mugen hates his daddy, lives by high morals, and loves nothing more than a good frown. Watching Marika shoot around the galaxy in a miniskirt and a smile is a lot of fun. Mouretsu Pirates is one of those easy Sunday afternoon shows. *** Mouretsu Pirates Starring Shinji Ikari ***
