Hi I'm Dranzerstorm
You may remember me as a regular contestant on the caption battle contest.
Welcome to Retro Retrospective, my world dedicated to the old guard of the Otaku world; expect some reviews of the old & obscure, and in-depth geeky knowledge with the occasional top ten and I now have a logo.

Little info about me
Well I'm British and I'm in to all things animated and nostalgia.
I've grown up with every cartoon going and have watched hundreds of anime.
Oh and to answer a question I was asked once, no I don't wear glasses in real life, I would wear Loke's sunglasses though.

Top 100 Worst Anime 50-41

Now were moving into the worst of the worst. Buckle up!

50. Sins of the Sisters
A sequel to an equally baffling horror anime, it's an assault on your senses.

49. Dot Hack Sign
Do you want to hear about MMORPG politics? Do you want to hear it through the eyes of an emo kid locked in the game? There you go, enjoy the extra sleep.

48. Eiken
The most extreme dumbest form of ecchi going that doesn't have enough dignity to even call itself porn.

47. Venus Wars
A very poor mans Gundam with more annoying characters.

46. Tales From Earthsea
Doesn't have the right to call itself a Miyazaki film.

45. Darkstalkers
I know fighting game anime are notoriously bad but this is depressing and it shouldn't be.

44. I Dream of Mimi
Suffers from the same problem as Eiken, doesn't have the dignity to call itself porn.

43. Arcade Gamer Fubuki
You feel really dirty after watching this and it's not easy to feel clean even after a shower.

42. Bleach
Went on too long and gradually got worst and worst over time to the point of just making things up as it went along.

41. Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
No excuse for repeating the same episode 8 times!

Venus Wars Review

It pains me to hit a come down after reviewing a favourite but that's how it works sometimes.

In 2003, a meteor crashes into Venus changing the climate enough to allow humans to colonize the planet.
By 2089 the planet has prospered but it's two biggest nations are at war Ishtar and Aphrodia. We cut to Earth reporter Susan Sommers who hopes to pick up a scoop in the warzone but our main focus is on a bike race team and main character Hiro and his friends as they get unwittingly dragged into the war after the Ishtar nation attacks. Clearly in over their heads they try and participate in the battles only to lose miserably as well as getting some people killed, so they join the Aphrodia army to see if that's any better but with Susan along it just complicates things.
I'll be frank, this is a poor man's Gundam with no robots, just a war with incompetent kids and a bitchy reporter just being useless. While the art direction is incredible for late 80s, the story, dialogue and characters are just really poor and it leaves me not caring when some get killed off, it's even worst when you realise that character designs are basically lifted straight from Gundam especially when the main bad guy looks like a long haired Gihren Zabi.
Dub is okay-ish but it's hardly a saving grace.
Final Verdict: I really didn't care for this, another product of early Central Park Media's grungy sci fi anime collection which joins the likes of Odin, Psychic Wars and MD Geist, an era I want to forget.
