movie review - Kakaider: the Animation

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Halifax, 2004.04.10

I believe that this was an animated TV series. It involves a robot created by a wise old inventor. The robot has an incomplete ethical unit (his "Gemini" heart), and this four-part, incomplete story follows his attempt at making his way in the world.

With a plot involving his "evil" (oooo) brethren (other robots made by the same genius but twisted by the strangely malicious Professor Gil) and his creator's whiney daughter, this thing crawls around for two hours and goes nowhere.

I was quite disappointed.

Not recommended.
