Summary: editing on this movie
Review: Blue Sub No.6 has captured my imagination. The characters seem so familer as the plot continues. Its amazing how an experimental cell animation and CG anime came out so wonderfully.
The animation is amazing as the explosions come to life.

I totally recomend it to anime lovers of any age. Blue Sub No. 6 is an unbeleiveable travaganza of art and computer graphics.

Summary: Good series, poor editing
Review: I love this series. I rented each dvd individually at my local store and nearly cried when the Musuca died 3/4 of the way through the series. It is an excellent scene that I believe is badly marred due to the editing done for television. I'm a little curious why an unedited "movie" version hasn't come out. Great series and well worth the purchase. If you're just curious about the show or just want some anime to satisfy those cravings, pick up this edited version of the show. But if you really care about getting the full effect, pass on it because you might be upset

Summary: Rating for Edited Toonami Edition
Review: Let me start by saying that this is an excellent film. That said, even its editted form is not suitable for children. I have found the rating system for Japanese animation to be very inconsistent with 13+ rated films that are okay for any age and 7+ rated films, like this one, only suited to teens and adults. Another problem is censorship. Censors are not artists and often hack out very important scenes that mar the film. Usually this means cutting out scenes of bloodshed and death while leaving the actual battle scenes intact. The result is pointless violence. Blue Submarine 6 Toonami Edition is one of these films, although the hack job is less severe than some other films I have seen, like Cardcaptors for example.

Back to the film itself: The first episode is very confusing. It is like picking up a novel in the middle and trying to understand what is going on. If you can get past the first half hour however, the story gradually falls into place and the film improves by leaps and bounds. By the end, you will probably be glad you stuck it out.

The only reason I purchased the Toonami version was that it was much less expensive than the unedited version. However, I always recommend getting the original if possible, and Blue Sub 6 is no exception.

Summary: Ummm WHAT?!?
Review: Ok. So I loved this show. But now here's the thing why it's 2 stars. Why didn't they release this in the FIRST place!?!? hehe geez.. Instead of me paying $16-20/disc for those 4 episodes. SO.. I could have saved [money] by getting this version they didn't release until months later?

Well besides my rant of getting jipped on the pricing, the entire story line is very cool. The combination of 3D modelled animation and hand drawn is very awesome. I like this new Era that Anime is coming into. They're doing more on the computer and looks much cooler than it ever could hand drawn. I suggest if anyone's an Anime and 3D graphics addict, they pick this flic up (and save a buck or two on collect calls, lol!) . It's a must for any Anime collection.

Review: This DVD is the edited version of "Blue Submarine No. 6",
for the Cartoon Network's "Toonami" program.

I'm somewhat
old-school when it comes to edited and dubbed anime programs. I don't
like 'em. However, the dubbing for BS6 is actually pretty good. There
are some annoying moments with the disc, such as the intro credits
popping up out of left field, and slight "hiccups" where the
commercial breaks are suppossed to be. Also, in the chopped version
there are characters with absolutely no development, yet you get the
sense they must be important to the plot. The ending is a bit
confusing, too.

Other than that, I was wholeheartedly impressed with
the quality of the show. The music isn't bad, the action is very
intense, and the characters interesting.

The artwork is
impressive. There is extensive computer generatated animation, but it
only occasionally jumps out at you as being obvious CGI. The
underwater battle sequences are breathtaking. The underwater
explosions take on a realistic quality, and the minisub fighters move
like jets in a dogfight. Torpedoes move in a believable fashion, and
control panels and video displays are clean, clear, and neatly
designed.

I cannot recommend the series enough, and I'm sure the
uncut version is far better. There seems to be something for all anime
fans, short of swordfights and sorcery. There is some use of mechs,
and lots of cool tech. Interesting creatures, too.

This is no poor
man's "seaQuest DSV", that's for sure! In fact, if
"seaQuest" had been more like BS6, it might have fared
better in the ratings.

I really hope there's a follow-up to the
series. This is easily one of the best tech animes I've seen in a
while. For the price, I'd recommend this cut version so you can get a
feel for the show, especially if you're unsure if you'll like it and
can't rent it anywhere. If you do like it, you can then proceed to get
the four seperate volumes.

Summary: editing on this movie
Review: this film was first shown in the uk on the cartoon network channle about 4 years ago i was 11 i loved it my mum loved it and she dont even like anime. well around sumer of 2002 toonami stoped showing on cartoon network beacause turner bought out a new channle cnx all the anime was shown on their in cluding adultswim it wasnt called that it was just cnx well after outlaw star and cowboy be-bop and spawn they hade a movie at 10pm with those martshall arts horror film but in their time they did show blue sub 6 and gundamwing endless walts. but just
beacaused they couldent be arsed to get the uncut version they shew it edited.well about a year after the channle closed down du to poor raitings and chained to the toonami tv channle and blue sub no 6 is still reapeted the edited version every half term along side these crappy hero films. soon im ordering it uncut somtime this week and i will ejoy it the way it was soposed to be shown.

ps i still thought the edited version was okay in story line and the film in jenral. and the editing was okay until the end part when you know who dies but i would like to actually se it instead of assume it happend.

i just thought that being on at 10pm could of got them to show it uncut for once.

thanks for reading i hope i didnt bore you.

Summary: One of the best anime's I've ever seen!
Review: When I first saw the commercial on Cartoon Network I didn't think much of it. "Probably just another of those short annoying animes that don't make any sense." But when I watched it, it completely changed my mind! Unlike most animes, this combines life like drawings that almost pop out at you and 2-D characters. The plot is really good and so is the music. I highly recommend this anime, too bad it's just a movie. It's kind of like GW where it explores and tries to portray human nature at it's best and worst. It's about a Submarine named Blue Sub. Number 6 that must save the fate of humanity from the warped destiny created by Dr. Zorndike and his "children". A fight for the survival and the fittest. You won't regret watching it.
