Anime: Black Magic M-66

This would make a good backdrop for one of those garbage "LOFI ANIME BEATS 80S RETRO AESTHETIC" videos on YouTube, cause there's plenty of cool shots, but little story. Some of it was a little too hand-wavey and cliche for me, and it just kinda ends with no real fanfare or satisfying send-off.

I thought Sybel and her partner were interesting, maybe it would've been better if they'd left out the dumb EVIL ROBOT meme and just made something with those two. Given how they build her up as this BADASS freelance reporter who DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK and is always IN FOR THE SCOOP, it felt like her true potential was really just wasted on this goofy Terminator rip-off, where she essentially just reacted to the robot tearing through soldiers for the entire second half of the OVA.

The animation was pretty good, everything was VERY detailed. Some of the "action" shots where they tried to make the background move didn't look as good, but hey.

Music was top tier, of course. No OP, but the ED is pretty great.

If you're willing to just turn your brain off for a bit, I think you'd get at least a good time out of it. Maybe one to watch with friends, cause it's interesting to keep everyone's attention, but dumb enough that everyone can also take potshots at it.

For an 80s anime it has good animation, But it sorta reminds me of a Gi I joe movie.

The sound was ok, atleast the voices werent annoyin , I disliked the effect oh the shots and the explotions.
The Story is pretty much boring.Its about a reporter trying to save a girl. I like thick plots,and although its anime, For the type of anime it was it could of been a lil more realistic,What goverment is going to test some sorta programed mechnism , and leave its programmin it? ? ? ?

Well the charecters where good in my opinion,They kept theyre part :D

In enjoyment, Its a regular Gi i joe movie if oyu like those types of movies then so be it, but for a movie like that, I wouldve of liked a thicker plot, Like for example who was that soldier that betrayed them and just get into the anime a lil more, But its a 45mins movie , cant complain:D

Like all the other works of Masamune Shirow (Ghost in the Shell for instance), this movie features robots in a cyberpunk-future.

Black Magic turns out to be pretty nice, even for its old animation. It still has that 'old anime' feeling, all 80s anime have, so not much to comment on. It's done better than some others though, so it should be a 6.4 instead of a 6 but that's not possible here.

The sound is okay, voices aren't bad or good either, and the music isn't really noticable which gives this movie not even an above average rating.

The story is simple and doesn't involve any intelligence to enjoy. There's really not much of a plot and you'll expect Schwarzenegger to join in as The Terminator, which kinda gives away what sort of movie this is: all action, hardly any plot. But at least the action is done okay.

Character development: nearly none. The movie is focused on lots of action with the support of static characters. I do have to add that the main character, Cybel, is a bit funny every now and then (especially the beginning).

Rewatch value? Hardly any. It's just to entertain you, and since there isn't much of a plot, you'll only rewatch it whenever you feel bored or want to watch an 'easy' movie.
