Fire Emblem

 

Heh heh heh, oh boy, when I picked up this one so I could have more reviews on not-so-good anime, I did a good job.  It's not that this anime is bad, it's that it's so fucking bad that it makes you laugh your ass off!  I sat there in front of the TV, mesmerized by how horrible this was, but I didn't want to stop watching because I knew that something just a little bit worse than the last stupid thing that happened would happen in a few seconds, I was caught in a horrible vortex of crappiness.

          Apparently, this piece of terd is based off of an old Nintendo game.  While there are supposedly more episodes that may come out some time, I personally don't think it'll happen.  So we're left with 2 episodes of some of the runniest shit ever to creep its way out from under the bathroom door.

          You want a plot?  I wish I could help you there but I have no fucking idea what was going on, it's like whoever wrote the story was either in a really silly mood or liked to say things like, "M-O-O-N spells moon!" over and over again.  I mean seriously, my friends and I made a drunk driving video for school that consisted of me driving around in the Jeep and talking about dog boxes with slurred speech while I ran people over repeatedly, that had more of a plot than this.  From what I can figure, there's this 14-year-old prince that wears extremely feminine jewelry all the time and leads a band of stupid people who think they are knights around everywhere.  Among this band are memorable characters such as Squeaky, the 11 year old archer who is a really crappy shot, and Noodle-Head, the girl who likes to ride around on a crazy winged horse while vying for the prince's attention, spouting out nonsense and being a liability all at the same time!

          Phew, at least you'll get really confused right when you start watching this.  It starts out with these people running from some other people in a castle, they get cornered and the girl gives one of the guys her head thingy (hence, the prince wearing jewelry), she then casts a spell and it switches to another scene.  We have no fucking clue who the girl is, and we never will.  The new scene is in the future and it lasts long enough for us to see that the prince is a dumb ass because while Noodle-Head is hitting on him, he's thinking back to the times when his dad called him a pussy.  They then run around for a day, being all happy until the prince overhears his dad talking to some people about some bad guys or something.  After the prince runs away from Noodle-Head, we get whisked away to see the king die in a battle, then, if I remember correctly, we go to another battle to watch the prince be a weenie, then we go do something else and more stuff happens that's confusing.  Trust me, the way I described it makes far more sense than how the movie shows it.

          Then, at some point, the prince and his knights run off to somewhere to kill people or something.  I had no idea what was going on.  The coolest part of the whole deal was that about a quarter of the population of any given town had random, foreign accents!  It was cool!  The leader of this one town had a daughter with a French accent, but he didn't.  And the pirates!  Oh my goodness!  They ran around and could be heard to occasionally say, "AAARRRRR!"  Yeah!

          So, even though we got random accents and crazy pirate noises, this anime doesn't manage to keep the coolness level that well.

 

Genre - fantasy/adventure/liquid shit

Animation - The animation was actually pretty decent, better than I thought it would be.

Sub vs. Dub - I don't even want to think about it

the Good - random accents, crazy pirate noises, that one guy in the above picture is kinda cool

the Bad - horrible voices, crappy plot, more confusing than Wrath of the Ninja, crappy characters, the music and many more things

Overall - If you want to be confused and then pissed off, watch this.  (2 episodes so far)
