Ao no roku go

Blue Submarine is excellent! Of course, if you watch the edited version of the cartoon network then you're out of luck. Keep in mind that this is an OVA series so no one should be dissapointed. Most series today are only 26 episodes long! Again this OVA was great; it reminded me of Cowboy Bebop, that being the characters, elements, and, more importantly, the music. The music was great, it added so much! I really recommend it to anyone and it's great for any collection.

The world as we know it, is no more. Tides have risen and drown the cities of mankind. The amphibious creations of a mad scientist, Professor Zorndyke (also the cause of the earth's condition) now inhabit the earth and lay siege on what's left of the human species. The only remaining military force must launch a daring strike to cripple the evil doctors forces.

Blue Sub 6 is one of my favorite animes of all time. The story is told expertly. All the characters feel real, and are developed exceptionally well. Even the "villains" get the same attention to detail. The seemingly mad, crazy and otherwise evil doctor who is the cause of everything is much more than just a "bad guy." You get to see what really led him to do what he did, and the ending dialogue between him and the protagonist is moving.

The animation is a mixed bag. The CG hasn't stood the test of time very well, and that's the only place i can doc it any points. All other animation is superb. The music is also a bit sketchy at times but for the most part it immerses the viewer into the world of Blue Sub 6.

I highly recommend this if you enjoy classics like Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, and Dragon Ball Z.

9/10

The story of 'Blue Submarine 6' is in fact the idea from H.G.Wells novel 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' taken to a much larger scale, global that is. Both style and quality are very good and the computer animated scenes fit perfectly into the film, even though the series is quit short the characters are logical and not 'flat', one will find problems looking for 'black and white' thinking in this film. But most astonishing is the effect this film leaves compared to 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' and the earlier 'real actor' movies from 1933, 1977, 1996 - whereas one could easily drop of the ideas H.G.Wells might had with this novel if viewed on just a 'small ocean island' that no one knows it is hard to deny those same ideas when transfered on a global scale. So I would recommend this series as it offers both - good entertainment and some deep thoughts.

Although visually beautiful and stunning, the characters were too basic, and you really just didn't care about them. Also, the underworld creatures were a tad silly. Now, I know this isn't the creator's fault, but when the main character was smoking a cigarette, they made it a toothpick on Toonami, and smoke was still coming out of it!

Just don't bother with this film.

I seen Blue Submarine No.6 and I enjoy it. The story of it is about in the near future, the oceans have risen, causing all land at sea level to be flooded. With the expansion of the oceans, humanity has found a new enemy in Zorndyke. A war has erupted between the surface dwellers and the sea dwellers, and mankind is placing all of its hope in the new vessel Blue Submarine No.6 and her crew. It a great Anime so anyone may enjoy it like me so. I hope a new DVD of Blue Submarine No.6 will come out soon and it will anyway I love ever things about it so I give it a 10 out of 10.
