Baldr Force Exe Resolution

BALDR FORCE EXE Resolution is one of the those fantastic OVA series that is severely overlooked by the vast amount of people who watch anime. It has wonderful art, a decent storyline, and good characters. STORY: The series is about a man, Tooru, who has lost everything (won't spoil ;p) and joins up with a kind of team, or company, called FLAK. The series is set in a would-be Japan, where the "wired world" is part of everyday life. People are able to literally plug themselves into certain computers and spend time in this new cyber world. It is quite a difficult concept for the writers ofthis OVA to get across well in such a small amount of time, but they do it brilliantly. ART: Nothing to complain about here: the characters are drawn very well, the backgrounds are fantastic, and the Mecha and Wired World, which are usually done by CG, are fantastic. SOUND: The music was absolutely incredible. KOTOKO sings the opening theme and the lyrics fit so well with the series, and Mami Kawada sings the ending, which is beautiful but sad at the same time. Luckily for me, these two are actually my favourite singers. CHARACTER: The characters in the OVA could have done with a lot more development, excluding Tooru, but since the series was so short character development was kind of out of the question. However, each character is still able to be unique. ENJOYMENT: Except for the events of episode 2, I really enjoyed watching this series, as it was such an experience to watch. For an OVA, it went far deeper than I would have imagined and OVA could. OVERALL: I was so close to giving BALDR FORCE EXE Resolution a 10/10, but episode 2 really put me off - I thought it was unneeded. However, I reccommend this to everybody ^^

For a 4 episode series, it sure does deliiver the goods but not all of it. With good CG animations and soundtrack to get you into the series, it didn\'t make it up for the character development and storyline but considering its only a 4 episode series (2 hour movie if you would say), it had to be rushed in order to fit all the events in and in a proper sequence. The beginning starts off with the usual routine of investigating in the cybernetic world. As the FLAK was doing their normal routine, they encounter this special girl and things take a nasty turn fora couple of FLAK members. As the story moves on, Souma Tooru becomes one of the new members in the FLAK new devision but he joined not to relive his glory days as \"Steppen Wolf\" but for solely one purpose. You will have to watch to know why. ^_^ In conclusion, one of the best CG anime series I (and maybe you) will ever watch. Its full with a big plot to follow and an action pack sequence where it may amaze you from time to time. Its recommended for the mature audience but in general its for everyone who enjoys a bit of drama, action and adventure.

What differentiates the real world from the virtual world? This short OVA discusses the concept of virtual world vs. real world. There is network and people can actually get ‘inside’ there networks and interact virtually. The story takes place when a young man is asked to join an organization called FLAK, which job is to dive in the network and attack the hackers who try to hack into FLAKs servers. This is only a portion of the story, the story is a lot more complex than this, there is revenge, friendships, and secrets waiting to be unraveled. The animators did a good job with the characterdesigns and backgrounds. The buildings were beautifully drawn, the interiors were very detailed and the slums looked real. There is nothing too fancy about the art; in this is what made it beautiful. But that is all; it was beautiful, not extraordinary. The characters, on the other hand, were averagely drawn, there was nothing new in the designs, but they were (well some of them) beautifully drawn. There were some details that were better than other things. The mechs and fighting scenes were done in a very good way, the mechs were designed beautifully and the fights were smooth and tens at the same time. The music was one of the strong points of this OVA, from the quick beat of the fighting scenes, to the quite rhythm on the hills, to the sad tone of the music box, all of those made a good combination of sounds. The opening theme was actually very good, it fit with the futuristic theme of the OVA. The ending theme was beautiful, it gives a sense of melancholy which also fits with this OVA’s theme. This OVA had various types of characters, we have the good people, the bad people, the victims, the culprits, the friends, the enemies, and so forth. Some characters were quite average, the types you would see in many series; but some were actually quite good, there were hidden pasts, tragedies that engulfed some of the characters. There was also a strong emotion that motivated the characters do some acts. Some were even ready to do some extreme things to reach their goals. The characters in this OVA were pretty good, there was some decent character development and some of them deserved the viewer’s sympathy. This OVA is a good watch, actually, it’s more than a good watch. It might take some time to get used to, but once the viewer gets used to it one can see that this OVA has much more that it offered. One should look beyond what was shown to the viewers, one should try to understand the message the developers were trying to tell to us. Even in a futuristic world, even when the the real world and the virtual world are slowly mingling with each other, there is value of ‘real’ relationships, of real friendships. Another point is, when people can freely dive into the network, if they were attacked by a virus or something their physical bodies in the real world would suffer as well. Are we humans ready for this? Are we willing to create a virtual world that is so real we might actually die in reality if we died virtually?

Basically the story is about a hoodlum hacker who some government organization of some format, recruits and uses to help them stop the bad guyz. Really though this is a load, a rip, a troll, a blatant theft of both Ghost in the Shell and Serial Experiments Lain and their respected themes. From tachikomas to ghost hacking to "if you die in the WIRED you die in the real world". It is a complete ripoff and it gets NO POINTS for stealing. Also weird virtual rape scenes. Which didn't make any sense at all as long as it caters to fandom. Pointless fan service FTW!Story 0/10 The art is nothing to talk at home about. Bland designs, sloppy backgrounds and terrible lighting. A bunch of pointless flashy kill scenes for wow factor to hide its terrible plot and theft. Nice try, but I am among the goat not the sheep. Also MORE RIPPING OFF GHOST IN THE SHELL AND LAIN. Art 4/10 Here is the sloppiest part of this theft, the characterization. I felt the development was rushed a lot of the times. Sub characters didn't get there day in the sun to the point where I quit caring or even paying attention to what they were doing. Everyone, for flash effect, wants kill kill kill. Again, hiding the blatant theft. There are pointless lovey dovey romance scenes that have absolutely nothing to do with the plot other than to keep the viewer's mind off track and hide the shows themes. Or it's just terrible writing. "I loved you toru, it's alright I just wanted to tell you that." Yea, don't try looking for context, there is none. It's just there. Characters 3/10 At the end of the day, this was a product. Something a few producers came together and thought they could turn a buck around. There is nothing to offer other than rehashed story telling of previous titles that didn't need to be retold. GITS and LAIN are fine just as they are. You didn't need to go and steal their ideals and themes. The show got lazy and always felt like a half hearted work. The biggest indecency someone can have done to them is theft of their work. And that is exactly what this is, but under a different name. Overall 2.5/10
