Final Fantasy Unlimited TV 1-2
synopsis by Jareth David (from J.U.R.A.I.'s Necronomicon 2001 Anime Guide)
This I foretell, he is the wind, he is the destructor, the ones who stand in his path… will be animated badly. Nice character design for konshuu no bakemono (this week’s monster), imagine Earthworm Jim drawn by a 4 year old, as envisioned by Ralph Bakshi. I’ve seen better drawings sent in by readers of Highlights. It’s even more glaringly obvious next to the half way decent CG work where all the money went. I call this Final Budget Very Limited. Were it not for name recognition, I would have done everything to keep this piece of crap off the schedule. If the character designer couldn’t be bothered to put some thought into this, then why should I bother to figure out the plot? The only good thing is since no 2 FFs are alike, this crap won’t be used for the next game.
(NOTE: Apparently since the time this was written, the series has developed a bit of a following, but from seeing eps 1-2 I thought it sucked. No, I don't think I'm being too hard on it. Maybe someday I'll download the later eps to see if it ever got better...right after I watch an overrated film like Forrest Gump.)
