Knights of Ramune: Blast Off...Like Cutey Honey

It is cool that Angelfire is still around. It is also cool that if you look hard enough, you can find most of the GeoCities websites preserved on a server. If only "@Midnight" was still a thing. It is a shame that they will never capitalize on that content.

Angelfire may have kept my post GeoCities/Web Design Certification (icc.edu) site up the past 17 years, but with Yahoo's betrayal, if you have not created an operating system, I am going to put all my eggs in one basket. Thus, I am going to start moving the original AnimeFlow over to the Blogger sphere. So let us get over one repetitive tangent (look at all the It and I) and getting into repeating my earliest critical works.

New Cutey Honey: The Sailor Moon 18-35 has been looking for

I think that cartoons that show nudity and graphic violence are probably what defines Japanese animation to those who are virtually clueless about anime. This may also be the same for US distributors because these seem to be essential to get theatrical releases in the west.

Despite the dirty connotation I am giving these films and shows, these are probably the most important films in animation. Films like "Akira" and "Ghost in the Shell" show that animation is not only for kids and that limitations exist due to a writer's imagination.

"Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie" or "Sailor Moon S 64"

If you are just getting into anime and you are not in elementary school, cartoons for the youngsters are probably not what you are looking for. Well, I would like to inform you that you may be limiting yourself if you totally ignore these shows. It was "Robotech" and "Voltron" being shown on syndication when I was five that got me interested in the Japanese animation, and I still like to check these shows out every now and then. 

I would also like to ask you what is there that is any good to watch during the afternoons if the "Emperor's Cup" is not being aired on ESPN or ESPN 2? The answer is Toonami on Cartoon Network. If you like some of the shows from this block of programming, the odds are that there are more mature versions of these shows that are available at your mall's video store. If you want good art work, regardless of the target market, I never seen an ugly anime chick unless it is obviously intentional.

As long as you accept a good kids show as a good show, some of these title maybe worthwhile to you.

Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie

Genre: fantasy (could be considered comedy, female themed) Length: 60 minutes (theatrical film) Audience Age: 3+ (If you view the dubbed version)

Opinion: It definitely feels like a rushed TV episode.

This is a review of the subtitled VHS version.

One of the first notable animes to get imported to the United States.

It, I and "Sailor Moon S: The Movie"

Sailor Moon S: The Movie

Genre: fantasy (could be considered comedy, female themed)

Length: 60 minutes (theatrical film)

Audience Age: 3+ (If you view the dubbed version)

Opinion: The film shows the full potential of the possible stories that can be written for this series.

This is a review of the subtitled VHS version.

One of the first notable animes to get imported to the United States.

I know many huge anime fans do not consider Sailor Moon to be anime despite it being from Japan, but I think that maybe a tad unfair.
