Description:
Gasaraki ranks among the most complicated anime series, which may be why viewers either love or hate it, with little middle ground. Kazukiyo Gowa plots with Mr. Nishida, the fanatic head of a sect dedicated to purifying a Japan he regards as so corrupt that he blinded himself with a samurai sword to keep from seeing it. Yushiro is taken from his army unit, which is then used in dangerous experiments with the mecha TA's. Miharu taps into the Gowa Labs data banks and discovers Yushiro Gowa died eight years ago. Yushiro greets this revelation with an understated, "I'm dead?" When he asks his icy mother who he is, she sends him to Noh master Sorachi. In an ancient storehouse, they find a gargantuan mobile suit, "a Kugai--a gift from Gasaraki which can be operated only by a Kai." Sorachi declares Yushiro and Miharu are linked by the "Monoyose Kai bloodline," and sends them to the mountains south of Kyoto to learn who--and what--they are. Director Ryusuke Takahashi struggles to move all these stories along, but the result is like watching a juggler trying to keep one ball too many in the air. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up for violence, largely restricted to machine versus machine, and occasional profanity. --Charles Solomon
