5.0 out of 5 stars Chojin Locke rocks!!!, January 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Locke the Superman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Incredible!!!

Locke is an Esper (super human attributes and stuff) and a loner. He likes to keep a low profile but because he has such tremendous attributes (eg. he is immortal) the government puts him on a mission to save the Earth from an other Esper who seeks to dominate the Universe. Incredible battles and cool music and sound for its time.
A masterpiece. Buy it or rent it!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars More Japanese Anime Esper Action, June 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Locke the Superman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is yet another anime about espers, human beings who possess strange psychic abilities, of whome Locke is the most powerful. The plotline is one that X-Men fans will recognize as espers are generally feared and hated by humanity. Somewhat epic in scale, the story is about a female esper who is trying to lead younger espers in a war against normal humans who fear and hate them. Sound familiar?

Anyway, I don't believe the plot was directly stolen from the comic book. Relatively old for an anime, the similarities are probably just a coincidence. However, there are certain scenes that really make you think, and the animation is good for its time.

I recommend this film, and if you happen to be a big fan of esper anime, then this is a must see. Your knowledge of the genre will be sorely incomplete without it. :o)
