Audience Rating: Unrated Binding: DVD EAN: 9786305789307 Format: Animated, Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, Subtitled, NTSC ISBN: 6305789304 Label: Bandai Languages: Manufacturer: Bandai Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Bandai Release Date: April 04, 2000 Running Time: 30 minutes Studio: Bandai Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The look of the anime series Blue Submarine No. 6 is the place to start any description of it. The 1998 show uses more computer-generated 3-D images than any series, yet the show looks like a video game. The plot, which also reminds one of a video game, is like a spinoff of Waterworld: in the near future, Earth's coastal cities are flooded, and an evil power, Zorndyke, has brought his minions to destroy the remaining humans. Earth's best weapon is a submarine fleet led by the supercool No. 6. Young Mayumi is an officer assigned to bring hotshot Tetsu back into the fold. The Travis Bickle-like Tetsu is more intrigued by learning about the faceless enemy--all that is known is their destructive tactics and elegant ships, intriguing combinations of beast and machine (a whale submarine, an insectlike tank). We discover just enough of the series' premise in this introductory 30-minute chapter, which is always watchable if never memorable. Rated 13 and older for violence and some nudity. --Doug Thomas Description: The Earth's oceans have risen, leaving most of the land now underwater. Even worse, humanity is plagued with attacks by a race of sea mutants who are dedicated to eradicating mankind. Our last hope is the state of the art Blue Submarine No. 6 and her crew, made up of the best personnel available. Join ace pilots Mayumi and Tetsu as they fight for the fate of all mankind.

 Rating:  - Don't Hate What You Don't Understand.Contrary to the two previous entries, I found Blue Sub 6 to have an original and well developed plot. While some areas could be better explained (the full scoop on Zorndyke's war on humanity), most questions can be answered. For instance, the ships may have RADAR, they mat not. Who knows what state of repair they are in. RADAR is also no good for underwater targets, which is where the enemy comes from. Underwater. They have Sonar, but these are living things we are talking about. No moving ...

That is the only thing this anime has going for it. The explosions, the water waves, the sun glares, the ocean, it all looks extremely beautiful. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT MAKES AN ANIME GOOD! The actual story is the only interesting factor. The glaciers were melted and most of the earth was flooded. During the aftermath, the surviving people are being attacked by water dwelling creatures ... Read More Rating: - Insightful anime productionHonestly, after viewing this anime, in my opinion, this is a great anime. Back in 1998 and 1999, the technology in creating the special effects is considered as a supernova because of the impression that it led to development of similar special effects in other anime in the later years. The special effects created by computer technology is bravo. 2D and 3D can be developed harmoniously. I find the story fanastic. Solely robots or fightings can be boring in some other anime. Without the cause of the story ... Read More Rating: - A thoughtful and exciting rideSo the world is at an end due to the melting of the polar ice caps (a quite plausible scenario). A mad scientist has begun to engineer aquatic mutants for unknown reasons, and humankind is on the verge of extinction, with a last hope- a group of submarines manned by the best naval forces all over the world. It seems a bit contrived at first, but Blue Submarine 6 engaged me in it's story far more than I thought it would. At first look, it might come off as a simple war anime series. Thankfully, ...
