Here's to hoping it's better than Harmony.

Well, this looks really good for a troubled production. I really like Murase-sensei's Witch Hunter Robin and Ergo Proxy. I hope this will be good, as ANN's critics seem to have disliked the previous two Itoh projects.

Haven't seen Empire of Corpses, but they were kind of right about Harmony. It had the problem of too much philosophical exposition, which made took away from the time that could have been used for character development and making the issue actually seem dangerous. That and the ending had a lot of plot holes. But hey, it wasn't utterly terrible. There's potential for a great film in there, and I'm sure someone will come and readapt it some day. Just hopefully not in a nauseating pink artstyle with CGI that bad again. |

Good to hear the project is still alive despite the studio's bankruptcy.
There's a comic adaptation out in stores at present, so anyone curious to see what's on offer can check that or the original novel this adaptation was based on. |

I have seen both, of course I would I have been waiting about 3 years for these movies. At any rate, I think Harmony was much better than Empire of Corpses. But then it is hard to tell-- i saw the sub of Harmony and the dub of Empire and my problem with Empire was the script. This makes me uncertain if it was the script as an adaption from the novel or the script as a translation into spoken English that created the problems. (Though I do agree that the voice acting was very good, but I much prefer subs.) Note, I have not read any of the novels. But the story told in Harmony made much more sense than the one told in Empire. As for your issue about character development, that doesn't interest me much for a couple of reasons. First being that they are adaptions of novels, and you never get as good a development of characters in the limited time that a movie has. But more importantly, these are science fiction works, and I much prefer a solid conveyance of the world the author is trying to create, which I feel that Harmony did a much better job of presenting than Empire. Additionally, Empire felt like 3 OVA's smashed together, like they had a team working on Afghanistan, Japan and San Francisco without any real communication between them. It is hard to pin point what bothered me so much about it, but it just felt "disjointed"-- and the review here on ANN was pretty much on the mark with how it ended. My short way of saying it was, it was a mess. |
