Joe's Anime Review
Home Page
Yo Yo...This page gives a rating for animated action sequences in several anime/manga I've watched...Remember...this is just "ACTION" only and not a scrutiny toward the overall plot...I've always believed that a truly successful action anime...would have animated fight/action scenes...and not freeze frames...
pics are in!
check it out!

Ninja Scroll:
Action: 7
Drama: 8
Stroy: 8
Tell you the truth, the action in this movie wasn't all that.  I thought that only the last part was ok (but it was short though).  Most of the fight scenes were short and were compensated for the story and drama. Over all, this movie is worth watching still. 

Spriggan:
Action: 7
Drama: 7
Story: 8
Hmmm...This movie anime was pretty good.  It was one of the first anime I've seen that I could see the entire movement of the action scenes and sequences.  This is a pretty good anime.  I was quite impressed.  The fight scenes where pretty good (but could be better) and the story line was compelling.  You've got to watch this!!! 

Record of Lodoss War (complete 13 series)

Action: 8
Drama: 9
Story 9
This is a collection worth buying folks!!!  Check this out, I started watching it on 6 pm and it didn't end until 1am in the morning!!!  That's how long this baby was.  Because the drawings were so consistent and awesome, the action was pretty much balanced through out.  In anycase, not bad for an old classic anime.

Record of Lodoss War; Chronicle of Heroes)--1-27 series

Action: 5
Drama: 6
Story: 6
I quite disappointed with this one.  The story setting was 5 years after the 13 episodes.  The story was all messed up.  It did not completely follow the story line of the previous episodes.  In fact it was off.  The action wasn't all that--it sucked in general as a series.  Well, if your a hardcore, Lodoss War peep, sorry, but the action in this series wasn't impressive as the original.  Oh yeah.  This series was as long as the original, but with cheaper animation (you could say).

Street Fighter: The animated movie
Action: 10
Drama: 9
Story: 8
It is one of the best action anime I have ever seen.  Although the story line was slightly off, the action made up for it.  This is worth keeping.  So far it is better than some of the other anime movies I've watched, in terms of action. 

Fatal Fury 1, 2, and the Motion Picture
Action:9
Drama:9
Story:8
Pretty good!!!  But it will have to take all 3 parts to compete against Street Fighter.  Fatal Fury 1, was short, but entertaining (i guess).  Fatal Fury 2 was getting impressive (action here was about an 8).  The motion picture was more geared toward the drama and story (which I would give a 10).  But the action wasn't all that bad.  In fact there are fight scenes that happen quick (but if you look really close, it is very animated to the end). The entire set is worth having--but you should watch it first.

Kite
Action: 4
Drama: 7
Story: 8
Creative stroy line, but short and crummy action.  Its quite animated, but the action wasn't even action to my eyes.  This movie didn't appeal to me and I suggest that you should just watch it and not buy it.

Blood
Action: 5
Drama: 7
Story: 8
This anime was very animated (in terms of motion for the characters), however, the action wasn't as long as I had expect it should be.  Despite this, its still an anime worth watching. 

Ghost in the Shell
Action: 6
Drama:8
Story:10
Although its lacking good quality-long action sequences, the story freaked me out.  It was not only highly animated, but it also had a story line that will entertain any sc-fi peep.  Its quite creative and you should watch it before considering on buying it.

Akira
Action: 7
Drama: 9
Story:10
This movie topped off Ghost in the Shell in my view.  They had some good quality action scenes (but if the story wasn't so awesome, the action could have been really really cool).  This is a classic anime to own.  Its worth watching.  The story line will get to you. 

Berserk
Action: 5
Drama: 7
Story:8
A series.  This anime is admirable due to the fact that there was no sign or usage of computer grafix (cg).  Whether the makers are cheap or prefer to make a more traditional anime, it would be the only excuse they have for the action being so limited. 
*note: I have only seen 17 episodes of this...until I finish the remaining this will be the rating so far.


Read or Die (ROD)
Action: 9
Drama: 8
Story: 8
A good example of action with a strange female agent, hero, whose powers enable her to manipulate paper in any way...interesting fight scenes...and action sequences...a must watch...for anime and book worms alike...
