<\/a><\/p>\nThere, I\u2019ve said something nice. \u00a0 Always try to do that with a new show. \u00a0Unfortunately that about taps me out on that score. \u00a0It\u2019s been a pretty quiet past year for Bones, though 2024 promises to be more active. \u00a0They remain one of the elite studios in the game when it comes to production values, and as you\u2019d expect Metallic Rouge<\/em> looks really good, with non-CGI mecha and all. \u00a0But as for the story and characters, that was about as nondescript a premiere as I\u2019ve watched for some time.<\/p>\n What struck me is that Metallic Rouge<\/em> was like a mecha anime written by an A.I.. \u00a0It had that stilted, utterly predictable quality and lack of imagination one might expect that to be like. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t<\/em> of course – it was created by Izubuchi Yutaka. an old mecha and Bones hand who also created RahXephon<\/em> (a series I hold in high regard)\u00a0 It\u2019s directed by Hori Motonobu, who – under the supervision of Watanabe Shinichirou – directed Bones\u2019 Carole & Tuesday<\/em>. That was a show that was embarrassingly bad given the budget and some of the staff involved, and I don\u2019t find Metallic Rouge<\/em> to be irritating in that same way. \u00a0It\u2019s just utterly mediocre and not even worth mustering up that level of reaction to.<\/p>\n You have another Mars setting. \u00a0Aliens (or androids, it\u2019s not confirmed which). mistreated by humans who have to inject themselves with \u201cnectar\u201d daily or they die and are disposed of. \u00a0The heroine is a mecha pilot or android of some sort working for someone else who seems to be opposing the aliens-androids, the Neans<\/a>. \u00a0These two are as 2-D and uninteresting as the characters with lesser roles, but the most egregious is a cartoon villain<\/a> played by Yoshino Hiroyuki (whose namesake ironically wrote the series this one most reminds me of, Guilty Crown<\/em>). \u00a0He\u2019s laughable from the first time he appears on screen twirling his metaphorical moustache, and he never gets any better.<\/p>\n The one element here I liked was the Nean singer\u2019s character design, very much of a flapper look from the 1920\u2019s<\/a>. \u00a0But she\u2019s already out of the picture (she was opposing the government and thus the patrons of the two heroines, I suppose) and in any event that\u2019s not nearly enough to make the series as a whole interesting enough to stick with. \u00a0I may give it another episode to surprise me because it\u2019s a sci-fi with traditional animation – and high-level at that – and those are rare as hen\u2019s teeth in anime these days. \u00a0But\u2019s a real shame to see that – and Bones\u2019 time – wasted on material this pedestrian.<\/p>\n The post First Impressions – Metallic Rouge<\/a> appeared first on Lost in Anime<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bones makes pretty anime.
