![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While they definitely were not the prettiest, the visuals still fit the time period well and have amusing character designs. The colors were an extreme range, sometimes greens and blues, other times reds, and usually they were all mixed together in a very ugly assortment. The special effects (explosions and such) were definitely the most lacking of all, seeming cheesy and simple. Thick black lines were used for outlines, with a combination of solid shading and small lines for effects. Apulo is a very abrasive looking cat, but still manages to fit his comical image perfectly. AnimationThe visuals were definitely reminiscent of the time period this was made, with fairly simple, ugly looking character designs (though Lateil definitely looked like a bumbling guy!). So if you decide to watch this, watch it for the randomness, not the story. But as a plot, it suffered for sure, and became uninteresting quickly. In the end, I still gave a high score, because the slapstick aspect of the show really was refreshing. The plot took away from the comedy as well, since time that could have been spent with slapstick randomness, was wasted on a trying-to-be serious and engaging plot. And as a plot, it was very weak anyways, with not enough time for it to develop into something more. This plot was poorly executed and poorly spread out throughout the OVA (with two episodes in the middle of the 6 being totally filler, which detracted from the plot even more). I think the problem is that the comedy was enough to make this a really entertaining OVA (though not 6 parts, it could have been fine with 2-3 episodes), but they felt they needed to make a plot as well. But on the other hand, the actual story, while somewhat interesting, is definitely on the back burner, and isn't that exciting. So for the comedy, I'd give a high score. When the other players get angry at this, the ship very calmly states something to the effect of "well, there's nothing in the rules that say a player can't eat a base!". One sample line, for example, is when two branches of the police (basically) are playing a baseball game, and the always hungry Apulo decides to eat one of the bases. What I like is random off the wall humor which makes me laugh off guard, and Enemy is the Pirates succeeded 100%. I don't like harem comedy humor, or ecchi humor, or generic humor. Like I said, a great deal revolves around comedy, and it really succeeds. Lateil is interested in Marsha, who thinks he's awful because of how "badly" he treats Apulo, who laughs all the way! Hilarious jokes are exchanged, especially between the ship (Lagendra) and the duo, who are obviously "inferior" to him. There is a ton of filler, and many scenes shown simply for comic effect. First, the story itself is mostly a slapstick type comedy involving Apulo and Lateil. StoryIt was difficult trying to figure out what score to give this series in the story category. ![]()
