Why did he have to be a 17 year old school kid anyway? Why not just a regular guy in his 20's or 30's? The anime doesn't delve into his dual lifestyle, that of being a school kid one day and ARCAM operative the next, and his extremely brief flashback-assisted back-story is almost like an afterthought. Unfortunately that is all the character has going for him. He moves around like a hyperactive monkey, doing back-flips and swinging on cables, its fluid and very dynamic watching him beat people up mercilessly. I swear the main character's modelled after Jackie Chan.

Facial reactions and action scenes are detailed and you find yourself scanning the whole screen to take it all in.įor a moment I thought this anime would be totally realistic but that notion goes out the window with a chase scene in Istanbul which made me grin like an idiot. Well actually, the animation in Spriggan is more than good its impressive considering it was made in 1998. We see metropolitan Istanbul briefly, and far eastern parts like Diyarbakir in the anime and it looks good. The crew did an ok job capturing its diverse nature that of being stuck between Europe and Asia. This is the first, and currently only time I've seen Turkey depicted in anime.

Spriggan's got a relatively interesting premise behind it, but doesn't do anything interesting with it.ĭon't let that put you off though, there's still some fun to be had in the form of cool 90's action! Teamed up with fellow Spriggan Jean Jacquemondo, Yuu must stop MacDougall and the Machine Corps' elite soldiers from advancing on the Ark before it is too late. On the Pentagon's orders, MacDougall seeks to secure ARCAM's lead scientist and seize the artifact. However, the site is ambushed by the US Machine Corps-a radical faction of the Department of Defense led by Colonel MacDougall. Following ARCAM's recent discovery in the Ararat Mountains of what is believed to be the mythic Noah's Ark, Spriggan Yuu Ominae has been dispatched to investigate. In modern times, the ARCAM Corporation and their paramilitary unit-the Spriggans-seek to seal the relics away and prevent renegade actors from exploiting their powers. However, the aliens left behind a warning to future civilizations on indestructible tablets: to destroy any remains of the ruinous technology created by their kind. Negligent of the power they held, these beings ultimately caused their own demise. She did the voices for Rukia Kuchiki(Bleach),Etna(Disgaea), Crimson Viper(Street Fighter IV), Reiko Hinomoto(Rumble Roses), and Yukari Takeba(Persona 3).Long before the era of prehistoric man, an advanced alien species inhabited Earth. Voice of Katherine will be Michelle Ruff(Another one of my favorites) Her range is also so good that it's scary. And on the anime side she has done voices for characters like Shinnosuke Nohara(Shin-Chan) to Lust(Fullmetal Alchemist). She's done a wide range of characters like Rise Kujikawa(Persona 4), Rayne(Bloodrayne),Chun-Li(Street Fighter IV). Voice of Catherine will be Laura Bailey(one of my personal favorites). Those are the only two on the top of my head but he's done more.Oh yea he also did Yuri Lowell(Tales of Vesperia) and Suzaku(Trinity Universe) Who did Kanji Tatsumi(Persona 4) and Snow Villiers(FFXIII). I posted some of their major roles in an info thread a while back. It's interesting that you say that because the main voice actors for this game have popped up all over the place.
