Fire Tripper

I read that Rumik World was a bad selling series, but I can't see why, this is a good anime! I thotoughly enjoyed it!

Now, first things first, Fire Tripper is mostly a fantasy/romance story, and if you don't like things like it, you may not like Fire Tripper. There is some action, and some blood and sword fights, and some nudity, making this a 15 rated anime. Now most people about my age like movies to have a bit of romance in them. I personally like it best when it's a action packed storyline with romance in it,(Like Rowdy and Melaroon in Slayers: The Motion Picture) or a romance developing during the movie and blossoming at the end. This is an action packed story, but the whole thing is based on Shukumaru(Who looks suspiciously like Link from the game The Legend of Zelda) and Suzuko's relationship.

The storyline is a good one, Suzuko is a young girl, but there's something strange about her: if she is exposed to a lot of fire, instead of being burned to death, she 'slips' into another time. I am not going to give away the storyline of this one because the story is the best part of it.

The dubbing is not too good. Actually, it's quite bad. The english accents are good, they don't sound faked or put on like in Heroic Legend of Arislan (I know because I'm English myself) And I reacognised one of the actors (who did loads of character voices!) from an English childrens cartoon, but the acting is bad and it has that thing where, say, it's a little girl, but she doesn't sound like a little girl, she sounds like a grown woman putting on a squeaky voice, if you get my drift...

Rating out of 5 stars: ***
