Goggle is a tough as nails cop, whose loyalties
are questionable at best. While investigating the theft of some
classified police documents, he is reunited with a former partner
in crime. Through an investigation he is pulled into a conspiracy
that has ties between the military, his former partner and the
chief of police, and what of the rumors that the military is
preparing to test a new piece of hardware that threatens to put
the cyber police out of business.
The DVD features both English and Japanese
Dolby Digital Stereo audio; the sound quality for the movie was
pretty good, clear and crisp. I would say that the audio dubbing
for the English voice actors wasn’t done very good, in some
instances the characters lips are moving when the voice actors are
not speaking or in some instances the mouths of the characters
are shut and they voice actors are speaking. As was the video
quality, at no point during the viewing was there any signs of
macro blocks. However, the animation is of a different area, more
of a vintage style of way things used to be done.
The features that the DVD contain, are trailers
for Cyber City: Time bomb and Cyber City: The decoy. The
additional features on this DVD that enjoy seeing and don’t see
nearly enough are a Sketch Gallery of the characters in the series
and an Art Galley. The last feature to mention is a director’s
commentary by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Also, on the DVD are previews for
series being released by US Manga.
After viewing this DVD, I would have to say it
is a good buy for those that enjoy a classic touch to anime
viewing. However, for those addicted to the new generation of
anime viewing then this throw back to the classic days might be a
little dull for you. As for the story, there just wasn’t enough
development time, it was rushed and didn’t allow for good
character development and story development. For those familiar
with the Cyber City series and enjoy continuing with this series,
then by all means pick up this disc, for those looking to get into
the series or would enjoy watching a DVD from years gone by then
look to rent this one or borrow it from a friend. |
