Review | SUPER DEFORMED DOUBLE FEATURE (AnimEigo/Anime Projects, 67 mins, cert PG, ?12.99.
The second feature "Scramble Wars", is anime's version of the "Wacky Races". It's set on Gaiarth, and has a number of Youmex stars competing against each other to win the Genom rally trophy. The line-up includes the Gall Force girls, the Knight Sabres, Ital and Sahari (of GENESIS SURVIVER GIARTH) and a blue Boomer. Few of the competitors ara above pulling a few dirty tricks in order to win. I found bits of it (mainly the rivalry between the Knight Saber girls) very funny, but other parts fell a bit flat. And it's alleged by some that the original "Wacky Races" was better. Verdict: Minor league stuff for dedicated fans. (**) |
