4.0 out of 5 stars space exploration, August 7, 2000

This review is from: Sol Bianca - The Legacy #2: Separation (DVD)

A new series continued on from the older series, Sol Bianca, is a action-adventure packed anime. The space style adventures captures all the space lovers out there. Equiped with the latest technology, guns, missles, the space pirates go on different missions. One thing the new sol Bianca series has is that it's a completely digital visual and audio presentation. The girls have never looked sharper with character designs by Hiroyuki Ochi who is also responsible for the look of Armitage III.

Although the visual image is great, the background can be quite a distraction because of the digital camera pan which gives everying a 2 dimensional look. Overall this anime was done pretty well, and the audio is excelent. This series is for all age groups and I reccomend all anime fans give this anime a try. I'll bet the graphics will blow anyone away =D

This review is from: Sol Bianca - The Legacy #2: Separation (DVD)

This is a fine bit of animation, in a series that I feel should have more heard of it. However, this title has a significantly darker/more mature tone to it than the original. The [adult content] and violence makes me say PG-13, not PG...

This isn't a criticism, though, I enjoy this DVD more than number one. The story is becoming more plot based, less episodic, and the characters are getting fleshed out. This series reminds me a lot of Cowboy Bebop, and the animation quality is the best of the best.

Even if you haven't seen the first DVD, this second one is more than enough as a starting point.

All in all, if you enjoy a bunch of beautiful pirates, or like Cowboy Bebop, this is a good purchase.

This review is from: Sol Bianca - The Legacy #2: Separation (DVD)

All the technical shortcomings of the first DVD are still here in the second- bad digital camera work and obvious CGI ships. However I really enjoyed the stories far more in this 2 episode compilation then the first because we look deeper into the crew and the specifics of some of the characters as well as a good dose of sex, action, drama and sorrow.

Episode 3 'The Cleaner' has the Bianca held hostage by a hard core psychic with awesome abilities to manipulate objects and read minds. Jani, being off ship, is unmolested by the captuer and arms up in order to return to free the ship. Along the way she finds an unexpected love interest. Episode 4 'Lovers' deals with other pirates and the sexuality of the female crew. Feb decides to leave and creates a cliff hanger for the next and final DVD.

The music is very nice and mixed with the incredible designs it gives a great feminine romantic quality to the anime without being too cutesy or sugary like the 'girlie' anime series. Decent action in greater quantity then the first DVD spunks up the pace and the monster designs from 'The Cleaner' are pretty cool (very Mignola influenced). I recommend this DVD more then the first and give it a solid 4 stars. This has it all for the space adventure anime fan.
