It's been a while, let's fix that.

Joe is a massive film buff, particularly the Superhero genre, on a date to the Cinema with girlfriend Silvia, the movie begins to act weird which leads to Silvia being kidnapped by an organisation calling itself Jadow dragging Joe into Movieland. Joe must take on the role of a superhero dubbed Viewtiful Joe bestowed to him by his idol Captain Blue in order to stop Jadow and it's unique army of monsters to get back Silvia and defeat it's big boss. Joining Joe is another movie fan in Captain Blue Jr and even Silvia herself after she gets rescued which is followed up by another evil group taking over in Season 2.
While the anime stays pretty faithful as an adaptation of the games, it's a little bit tame, which is a shame as it's art style lends itself to some pretty stylish scenes and gives Viewtiful Joe a unique identity among it's peers, it's main weaknesses are trying to aim at a younger audience, having to shoe horn in Blue Jr and going through a few episodes of nothing, plus the plot twists are kind of predictable.
But as for producing good characters, it does a superb job at making every character memorable, I especially love Silvia and her romance dynamic with Joe as being relatable to anyone who's had to date a geek.
Dub is nowhere near as good as the games' actors and I actually prefer the subbed version in Japanese and even Spanish.
Final Verdict: It's biggest offence was not using it's full potential, nonetheless it's a solid anime adaptation to a great cult video game franchise.
