UltraViolet: Code 044 #01 — “You See Everything You’re Missing Now.”
July 1st, 2008
More ENGRISH!
Impressions:
Ugh. I think this gave me cancer. The art was pretty alright, and I have to admit that I kind of like the OP. It’s not as Engrishy as you’d expect, and it’s a nice little tune. The animation for it is… not so good though. There’s about 30 seconds of just watching combat geneborg sextoy walking. That’s what you see in EDs after everybody’s already turned off the show and wandered elsewhere. I’ll rip it and post it later when there’s a somewhat less cancerous raw floating around.
Where to begin… where to begin. I’m tempted to call it Girl Gonzo since it shares many of the same issues… except in this case, the animation is slightly better but the terrible pretentious cliches are off the charts. While better, the animation is still minimal, the plot nonsensical and so caught up in itself that it’s performing rectal surgery on its own colon, it can’t manage to go three minutes without a naked woman onscreen, and the direction makes me long for Gonzo’s tour de force style. One of the ‘tricks’ that they love to do throughout the entire episode is to juxtapose the same animation next to itself and show it multiple times. It’s patently ridiculous looking. I don’t even want to know what the director was thinking at the start either when he had her strip down to her panties and throw open the window just in time to see a giant penis float by. I’ll leave you to wonder what the little girl running up stairs while being eclipsed by whales is supposed to mean. Like I said… the show’s a biiiiit full of itself.
So yeah, in other words, I wouldn’t wish this on my enemies. Not even Holographic Evil Abraham Lincoln. No, I won’t be following it. Ew. No. Just… no.

Preview:
Well, honestly, episode 2 looks tons better than episode 1… but meh.

It’s shit. Also to much western-like. But at least there is rape: http://blog.seiha.org/images/ultraviolet1/ultraviolet1_2.jpg
