Advancer Tina

In space no one can hear you... s(c)ream. Advancer title certainly looks like it was a co-production with it's more western inspired character design and story. It has a somewhat exploitation vibe to it's plot who features nuns, revenge, space pirates and a lot of sexualized violence. The story is fleshed out with a focus on a dystopian science fiction setting that are reminiscent of Alien (1979). The animation is well done since action scenes with explosions, gunfights and spaceships to be expected in an Science fiction action story. Bodily movement aren't jarring and the use of still frames isn't common. While the erotic scenesare themselves a mixed bag since they are questionably erotic they seems to be more in line with the body horror genre. Fans of guro should be pleased, since this ventures far into gore combined with nudity. Characters themselves are quite decent but it's the main character,Tina Owen and her famous voice actress (Atsuko Tanaka) that really steals the show! She delivers each line with a strong confidence that gives her much depth to how she is and handles herself. Not a damsel in the slightest but a strong woman that most likely is a nod to it's Ripley inspirations and overall themes of motherhood and assault. Which comes full circle in this ova. Rest of the cast are a bunch of more similar body types. Men are broad shouldered, muscular and tough. Women are slender, tall and somewhat look the same in the chest area. Backgrounds are nicely done and further gives the series a gritty and almost noir feel. Lots of strained greens, fog and dark colours, to give off a horror palette. It's a rotten world after all in which humanity is desperately searching for habitable space. So it has a post-apocalyptic feel, more akin to Fist of the North Star than Blade Runner. It comes highly recommended to horror fans moreso than those who might expect pure erotica.

SUMMARY A former special forces agent who is now serving a life long prison sentence gets offered a chance for freedom in exchange for a dangerous mission to a mysterious alien planet. Tentacles are of course involved. STORY The story is at least memorable, I last saw this anime over 6 years ago and remembered almost all the key plot points and the scenes, it is certainly more plot focused than other adult anime shows, even along the genre of Alien clones. The characters are all pretty decent and nobody feels out of place, the pacing between story and sex scenes also feels pretty good too. Thesex scenes also grow in intensity steadily throughout the run time which is something I appreciate and wish could be used more often. However the ending is pretty anticlimactic and feels quite rushed with the monster suddenly becoming sentient for no reason and then easily killed anyway. CHARACTERS Tina is a good character but everyone else is pretty unmemorable. VISUALS Although dated the characters look pretty good, however the scenery and set pieces all look incredibly bland which is disappointing for a space based anime. In terms of the female characters they all kind of blur into one but serve their purpose nevertheless. EROTICS As mentioned earlier they grow in intensity from start to finish, I would say that although the gore is not too intense, on moral grounds I do not appreciate any show which combines sex and violence, so it certainly loses points there. Additionally some of the scenes feel a bit rushed, however each one fits in well as part of the story and if you are into tentacles it may tickle your fancy. HIGHLIGHT MOMENT Everything on the alien planet is memorable and well made. CONCLUSION Overall I have to say it is pretty good seeing as I can remember it so clearly after such a long time, that being said I probably would not watch it again as I feel that everything this anime does has been outclassed by other shows which does each element better.
