ayabrea-pe Review of Black Magic M-66

Black Magic M-66 (1987 Video)

"Terminator" anime is like "I adore you and I am trying to imitate you,but I can't be as Good as you"

[6/10 · 9 July 2010]

actually if you have seen the first "Terminator" it means you know everything about "Black Magic M-66" from start to the end.it is like declaration of love,tribute to the "Terminator" movie from very talented Masamune Shirow(who is responsible for some cult comics like "Ghost in the Shell","Appleseed"and "Ghost in the Shell 2.0")you should and must see it because of him and respect it because of him,but well we also should respect...reality and say that "Black Magic M-66" is a pretty Mediocre, but still very adorable,enjoyable and unfortunately really short movie,it feels like an episode of a TV show.so what other things I like in this anime:Score,i loved Yoshihiro Katayama unique and classic 80's score which wonderfully creates sense of a Tension and suspense and finally..it's an OK anime,which I can't love because it is too short,too weak,mediocre and too non-individual and i can't hate it because it is too enjoyable,too natural(not a cheap and fake terminator clone,I mean),too unpretentious, too naive and because it is made by Masamune Shirow, with Heart :)
