Synopsis

Review A 90 minute video produced by Helen Mc Carthy's
ANIME UK group but released through Paradox Films,
the parent company of anime label Kiseki. In some ways
this is more typical of Japanese animation than anything
released here so far: it is intended for Japanese junior
high school children (most of the characters are about
14), the animation is notably jerky and in a style less
realistic than that to which we have become accustomed.
It's a comedy with a cast of odd- looking characters, a
plot we don't need to take too seriously, and one or two
nice songs. The style reminds me of LAMUNE & 40,
which you doubtless have never heard of but which ran
to a large number of episodes. I thought the first ep of
LAMUNE &40 was funnier than KO CENTURY
BEAST WARRIORS though.
As for the merits of this release, it's quite fun and has
some good jokes. Just how much you like it will depend
how you tolerate the youthful voices used for the
dubbing. Remember that it was intended for children!
