Marin Asagi is a 13-year-old orphan who lives in a Tokyo tenement with a clutch of offbeat, adopted relatives. When the planet Brigadoon appears in the sky, Marin is attacked by weird mecha called Monomakia. In an old shrine, she finds an ampoule that contains Melan, an angular blue mecha who swears to defend her. Why Marin is so important to Melan and the nasty aliens is never made clear. Nor do the film makers explain the presence of Makoto, an adolescent boy from the future, or the rubbery green creature that looks like a poorly designed Pokémon. The opening episodes of Brigadoon suggest a magical girl show, but without the magic. The only things that distinguish Marin are her poverty and her imagination--her fantasies of being executed have a dark humor reminiscent of Haunted Junction. (Rated 13 and older: violence, risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Product Description

Brigadoon, the story of Marin, an ordinary teenager with an extraordinary problem: she's the target of a mysterious object in the sky called Brigadoon. Just when Marin is about to lose all hope of surviving the incessant attacks from mecha-like weapons, a Gun-Swordsman named Melan Blue appears to defend her! The series' unique blend of wacky familial humor and cutting-edge, cyborg-infested battle sequences make for a decidedly different and refreshing anime experience.

This review is from: Brigadoon - Marin and Melan Blue (Vol. 1) (DVD)

Brigadoon is a great anime. The story stays interesting and the main characters are all lovable till the end. Dubbed or Sub-titled this is one of Tokyopop's best animes. If you like alot of Mecha Drama and some cute comedy with hardcore action this one is definitly for you.
