Summary: A Great Feel-Good Film!
Review: I just rented this from the local Blockbuster, and I loved it! I am a general anime fan: I watch any anime I can get my hands on. I loved Gundam Wing as well as 08th Team and I also love Slayers, Hyperspeed Grandoll, and Vampire Hunter D. As you can see, I'm not really picky with my anime.
Plastic Little has an imaginitive storyline that is fairly easy to pick up. The animation is cute if a bit odd (check out the girls' profiles! Their noses run straight into their mouths! it's cute, but odd). It is definately NOT for the kiddies, though. However, it is a wonderful film for comedy-action anime fans 15 and up!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It not really worth it.
Review: I rented this from a local movie gallery where I live, and even though the animation is good, I'll have to agree with most of the others that the story line was not as good as it could have been

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A definite breath of fresh air
Review: I saw this movie at the recommendation of a friend who is known for anime such as Akira or Ninja Scroll, and I was expecting to see the same thing. Instead, I what I got was a cross between Ranma and...I dunno, Escaflowne? Anyways, I really enjoyed it and I think that it would be very cool if they came out with more of them. It has definitely got potential. My only critique would be that there was one or two times they could have cut down on the boobage. I would definitely recommend this to you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty dang good
Review: I saw this movie with an open mind as I knew I had to to watch anime (I had just been introduced officially to it). I liked it a lot. THe animation was fluid, the art was superb, and the story was very original and excellent. You might have heard there is a lot of nudity, but if you ask me, the screen time of the breasts (that's all the show) would be a total of less than five minutes, so... blah! Don't let that stop you from seeing it! It's a great movie even if you don't like anime. Dubbing isn't bad at all, either.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth the money
Review: If you're an Urusihara fan, buy the video. The art and character development is superb, and having nubile females running around topless never hurts a film any. ;O) I bought the video and I enjoy it, and I seriously recommend it to anyone who likes action packed Anime.

Summary: =(
Review: jbluna, fb2012, i both agree with you. the animation is very very high in quality...but...thats about it...the movie was way too short...only an hour. the storyline wasn't very well developed either. It just went by too fast. And i didnt really understand what was going on either. im glad i just RENTED the anime movie. in my opinion, this is one of the worst anime movies ever made. no offense to anyone ^_^;

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Short on plot, long on fanservice
Review: Long on cliches, too. However, if you don't try to take this movie too seriously, it's fun enough. The story is weak at best, but that's clearly not the point. The point is pretty girls bouncing around with their tops off as often as possible. That being the case, the artwork is very good.

All things considered, an enjoyable movie in a gratiutous sort of way.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Perfect, but OK
Review: Not perfect, but certainly not a one-star anime. The animation is simply amazing. Rent it for that if nothing else. Compared to Plastic Little, every other anime looks like Scooby Doo.

Remember the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark where Jones is about to face a giant with a sword, then rather than fight him, Jones just pulls out a gun and shoots him? That unconventional not-what-you-expect touch made the move unique. A lot of the fights in Plastic Little are like that. That's why some people here are upset because rather than another set of big super-fights, the heroes/villains use guile and end it quickly. It's unconventional, but after seeing dozens of other animes, it's nice.

If you're not familiar with anime yet, I would suggest you pass this one up and get Tenchi Muyo, Birdy the Mighty, or Ah! My Goddess! The plot is much easier to follow in those animes. If you've seen a lot of anime, and are looking for something new, Plastic Little may be what you're looking for.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A above average action film with charm....and lots of nudity
Review: The story takes place on the planet Yietta. The planet, or at least the city, is kept afloat by a gravity device. The film opens with a 16 year old girl named Elysse and her father running from the evil Guizel. Elysse's father activates a escape pod for Elysse, but he is gunned down. As it turns out, Elysse's father had built a machine that affects the gravity device. He found out too late that Guizel had plans to mistreat the device (mistreat is a understatement). Tita, captain of a group that captures various creatures in the clouds and sells them, meets Elysse one day when Elysse is fleeing from Guizel. She helps Elysse escape temporarily, and they become friends. Of course, anyone friends with Elysse is an enemy to Guizel, and Tita, trying to help her new-found friend, gets involved.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from "Plastic Little". I had heard different opinions about this one. One of the reasons I saw this anime was because at that time, I was feeling like a decent comedy/adventure. "Plastic Little" filled that hunger more than a snack, but less than a feast. One of its flaws was for me that it was too short. At one hour, some of scenes seemed to be too short, while some were too long. However, I enjoyed the animation which the was eye candy. It was beautifully animated. It helped me sit though certain scenes. The character designs are well done and interesting looking. The only character I disliked was Guizel. He bears a resemblance to Ashram from "Record of Lodoss War", save the hair color and a couple other things. He serves as the tall, unmerciful bad guy. Like most Anime fiends, he tries to dress in the faishonable black cape. To add to his little costume, he wears a big helmet that looks so heavy that it could probably crush his skull. His personality would have been much more satisfying if they had revealed more about his past. The Plot gave no idea at all to what his motive was for wanting to cause so much utter chaos, death, and destruction. But that doesn't mean all the characters were poor. With a couple of them, you'll probably become attached too them, while most of the supporting characters personalities seem as bland as cardboard. For example, Elysse was suprisingly not that annoying as most anigirls, (unlike the EXTREMELY obnoxious brat C-ko of "Project A-Ko" ), and her story was told slowly, and was very important to the plot. Elysse was one of those characters that you get attached to. But Mei, like most of the crew members, did not do anything that was particularly memorable.

The plot may be a little weak, but it's executed well enough to make it worthwhile and entertaining. The animation really added to the overall feel of the movie. You can tell it doesn't take itself seriously. I also enjoyed some of the action in this movie. The action packed bike chases are one of the high points of "Plastic Little". Certain parts are fast-paced and exciting. It's too bad that "Plastic Little" tends to surprise you in situations that seem calm, instead of attemping to build tension.

A note to parents: this movie has gratuitous upper body nudity. To some, this is a warning; to others, it is another reason to see the movie. It seems like the artists were a little preoccupied with womens chests. The worst scene was when Mei suggests Tita and Elysse should take a bath. As it turns out, the "bathing area" is more like a theme park. It consists of a bunch of water slides and swiming pools. However, Nichol, a male fellow crew member with a crush on Tita, tries to peep at Tita. Tita retaliates by electrocuting him. That's the most sexually oriented scene. The rest is just excessive nudity. While the nudity is related to the plot, expect to see plenty of skin when someone is shot or injured. Also, everyone in Tita's crew wears a skintight suit. The violence for "Plastic Little" wasn't that graphic, but a couple scenes are fairly grim. At one point, Guizel lifts up Tita and starts to fire a gun into her stomach. The scene may be fairly disturbing to young children. Another one of the worst scenes was when Tita blows a persons head open, but it's tastefully done, not hardly as messy as it sounds. Barely anything is shown. Also, at the very beginning, Elysse's father is shot up very badly, but, like when Tita blasts into the head, it's done tastefully and controlled. There is also profanity, which is quite frequent. They say sh*t, cr*p, and b*tch when they are frustrated.

In my opinion, the mature content of "Plastic Little" is a fairly low R. Trust me, Anime can get far worse.

Overall,I liked Plastic Little. After I viewed it,I showed it to two other people,who both enjoyed it. Visually,it was extremly impressive,but character wise,it lacked decent personalities.

Bottem line: Some of the characters have personalities as colorful as a little,

plastic,tupperware container,but tupperware has never been so well animated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful animation, they've done a great job
Review: The way this anime was drawn is mind blowing, simply magnifecent, it is about average length AKA an hour. Recomendation, don't have friends over that want to see one particulary seen over and over.
