Unfortunately, my projection was wrong and the pictures
still aren’t working…but still, the show has to still go on anyways, right?
Today I want to talk about one of the greatest anime films of all time…Dead
Leaves!
Now if you haven’t heard of it, Dead Leaves is this really
trippy, yet absolutely awesome anime film made by the creators of Gurren Lagann.
In it, a pair of extremely tough and powerful criminals (with no memory of who
they are) get arrested and thrown into a lunar prison known as the DL
Correctional facility.
The criminals are, Retro, a man with a retro television set for
a head, and Pandy, a woman with a pink spot around her eye that makes her look
like a panda bear…and a mysterious secret about her genes…
They break out with the all the inmates (who all have unique
and bizarre appearances) and go through an incredibly violent breakout against
giant robots, identical prison guards, a pair of psychotic genetically
engineered maniacs named Triple Six and Triple Seven (the former being among my
favorite anime villains), and the lady warden who desires revenge against the
duo for mysterious reasons pertaining to their past.
This film contains a great array of characters, a badass
plot, and some of the greatest and most badass stunts put to animation…seriously,
can you think of even one movie where you can find someone Triple wield guns?
Now I bring this fantastic story up for a reason…I believe this anime film is much
underrated by too. And it shouldn’t be, this film is a great work, if there
were anything so cool your head would explode from witnessing it, it’d be this
film.
Now don’t take it just from me, go see this film for
yourselves. If you love awesome action stunts, hammy acting in a world gone absolutely
mad, and men who can turn their body into tons of guns. Then you’ll love this
movie.
Anyways, that’s my personal review of Dead Leaves, next week
I’ll try to have a brand new theory ready for you.
Cheers!
