Martian Successor Nadesico: Prince of Darkness

Alternate Name: 機動戦艦ナデシコ (Kido Senkan Nadeshiko Za purinsu obu dākunesu) Director: Tatsuo Sato Year: 1998 Three years pass since the third battle of Mars, and the Nadesico possess the Ruin. Akito and Yurika both vanished and reckon that both of them are dead. The new captain of the Nadesico B battleship is Ruri Hoshino. Now that the Earth and the Jovian Federation are at bickering with each other. Along with this bickering, a new threat towards peace is raising from the "Martian Successor". Ruri sets out to figure out who is making the mischief. Will Ruri capture the mischief maker? I was impressed with the animation, before knowing that the film released in 1998. Also I like how this film incorporated manga and games. Rating: ☆☆☆             Rent it

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland

Alternate Name: ニモ (Nimo) Director: Masami Hata and William Hurtz Year: 1989 Trailer: Nemo, a curious and adventurous young boy, wakes up by Professor Genius who tells Nemo that he was sent on a mission by King Morpeus of Slumberland. The mission that Nemo is invited to is that he would become the playmate to the princess, Camille. Hesitent at first about interacting with royalty and being with the princess, but decides to fulfill the mission. Arriving in Slumberland in a dirigible that he was allowed to drive which caused chaos. The King gave Nemo a golden key that would open any door in the kingdom, but warns Nemo that he shouldn't open a door with a dragon insignia. Will Nemo open the dragon insignia door or will he listen to King Morpeus? It felt that this film slowdown at times and then skipped making no sense. Rating: ☆☆☆             Rent it

Sent to inspect the mysterious attacks upon the mining operations. Taking a break from mining investigations, Yuri and Kei take a bath. Carson D. Carson fell through the vents that the two women were bathing. Questioning Carson what he is doing at the mining site all three are attacked by mutant aliens. In the end both Dirty Pair and Carson forcefully team up to stop Dr. Wattsman's plans to exceed the alien race to its final evolutionary form. While forced to work together will Yuri and Kei warm up to Carson or will they bicker until their mission is accomplished? Not sure why you would take a bath during investigations. I enjoyed the two, Yuri and Kei's facial expressions, but the story is somewhat hard to grasp. The reason for this is like in "Space Runaway

Space Runaway Ideon: Be Invoked

Alternate Name: 伝説巨神イデオン 発動篇 (Densetsu Kyojin Ideon: Hatsudo-hen) Director:  Yoshiyuki Tomino Year: 1982 Aboard the powerful Granda Rowa warship, the Buff Clan hopes that it's more powerful than the Ideon. Doba Ajiba declares that he will hunt down his daughter no matter what it takes even if it takes him to the ends of the universe. Will Doba Ajiba be able to find his daughter or will she be hiding for the rest of her life? Like the first "Space Runaway Ideon: A Contact" there are a few scenes in the film that has repetitive bright flashes that may harm the eyes. I would not recommend if vision problems with this!
