Synopsis
Review ORGUSS 02 Volume One (Manga Video, 60mins, cert.12, £11.99)
The first two episodes of an ongoing series, set in an alternate world, where centuries after the 'space-time' catastrophe two armies race to unearth and reconstruct the robot-like war-engines that their more technologically equipped ancestors once used. The action centres on Lean, a young mechanic, who falls under the influence of Manning, a cynical and self-serving army officer. The action sometimes seems simplistic, but the character designs are good, the characters are interesting, the dialogue is well above average and there is plenty of absorbing storyline to kep the viewers hooked. Nothing deep here, but plenty of entertainment for both young and older viewers.The beginning and end theme music is very odd but it grows on you.
The second volume is if anything better, with less of the toyshop robots and more of Lean's adventures with the fascinating rebel girl Nataruma. When he takes Nataruma back to the home of his childhood sweetheart you can feel the tension!
The fifth episode does not make much use of the main characters. There is a great poisoning scene in the Palace, and some really surprising stuff with mechas though.
