| ♥♥♥♥♥ | "I'm just an old-fashioned cowboy" |
| Lately I have returned to my old ways, and I have been watching a lot of anime. The break I took for a few years allowed for several excellent productions to be released and now I have many highly praised choices at my disposal. This series was one of those options and I am happy to report that my expectations were completely fulfilled. With a very likable main character, excellent action scenes, and some fine humor, this first disc in the series provides top-notch entertainment.
Through these first five episodes we get to see a growth in the series, since the first three are almost a stand-alone set, and deal mostly with individual cases and a fair amount of humor. In episodes four, we already see a change, when Spike and his partner in business Jet Black are joined by the treacherous and temperamental Faye Valentine, who they met in episode three. This new character definitely adds an extra dimension to this series and sets up the tone for the continuity among episodes. Finally, in the last episode, the tone changes and we get a more serious story, which allows for a good look at Spike's past. After you finish watching this disc you will probably be eager for more, so I recommend having the second disc ready to go. The graphics are very good, and I particularly liked the way in which they created Spike, a tall and lanky guy, with a small head, and who generally dresses in a blue suit and does not show through his appearance his abilities with weapons, and especially in hand-to-hand combat, where he excels. I have to say that one of the aspects that make this series a winner is the beautiful music and the way it is used to complement the action. It all starts with the intro of the disc, when we get black and white scenes, with slow and tranquil music with a classical flavor, and which clearly contrast with the opening credits of each chapter, which show a series of monochromatic shots in color, changing at a frantic pace and accompanied by blazing jazz. All through the episodes, different music genres make their appearance, always complementing the story perfectly. There is no secret; I have found a new favorite. Now it is time to stop writing and go watch the next disc! |
