Rating: Summary: A NICE ANIME BUT NEEDED MORE LENGTH AND PLOT Review: Baoh was a nice little anime. It lacked a few things from getting it a 5 star. The art was great even for now, but some lines appeared to thick at times. The characters were average, they didn't have enough story behind them as for why they are there. The main character was pretty cool, just a normal guy until some scientists wanted to do some experements. His transformation is really cool and the way he deals with people is great, also this anime was very gory for its time and now. over all Boah is a must see, maybe a buy because of its length, or to some not even worth it.

Rating: Summary: very good for a Guyver wannabee. Review: Basically i don't give about the not so good reviews about this anime. BAOH in my opinion, is another good example why i love anime; it has a decent plot although borrowing elements from GUYVER and the movie firestarter. but adds a bit of originality of it's own especially regarding the charcter designs, weapons and powers; i.e. the shooting bees phenomenom (baoh's hair is used as electric particles that shoot out like darts) and it doesn't hld back when it comes to action, although the gore is a bit gratuitous that one ends up thinking,is baoh a superhero/sci-fi actioner or a horror anime?as for familiar designs, Dr. kasumione resembles G.I. JOE'S Dr. Mindbender, walken is a combination of the tracker from firestarter (played by george c. scott) and one of the mutants from x-men. Durdo has an endoskeleton like the terminator and the three steel masked finacers of Doress look like a certain villian from a certain toyline/comic/carton. the arm saber however is exactly like guyver's and that's where the simularity ends. lol the DVD is bare bones meaning; no extras but inside the case is a nice filecard which explains baoh and his mysterious powers along with song lyrics speaking of which; the original japanese version of soldier is way better than the english song. the english dub from the dvd isn't bad, but the cheesy song "can't stop loving you" has got to go!!! it does not blend into the dark superhero thriller world of BAOH. INCLOSNG the animaton still holds up even 15 years later. thanks to th talented folks o toho/shinshuiea (FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR and ANGELCOP) if your'e lokng for a short balls to the wall superheroesque title, this buds for you. for those seeking something more complicated..well there's always garasaki and boogiepop phantom..zzzzzzzzzzz

Rating: Summary: Excellent Action Anime!!!!!!! Review: I have seen several anime movies and this one, along with Riding Bean, is the best I've seen!!! It has a nice plot that's not too complicated yet not stupid like many other animes. If you are an anti-violent person when it comes to cartoons then do not buy this, This is a very bloody and violent movie and the artwork is excellent!!!

Rating: Summary: This garbage will make your head explode. Review: The evil organization known as Doress has captured a young man to use for their evil experiment(gasp). What is their evil plan,you ask? Well, Doress is planning to put a worm-like parasite in the boys brain. The worm feeds on the kids brain, while at the same time, allows him to transform into a big, blue superhero, (WOW!), that can shoot needles out of his head, big blades from his arms, and other abilities that mostly end up cutting up heads. Anyway,he meets a little girl with psychic powers,who helps him escape from the evil organization Doress. But when the little girl is captured, The boy must use Baohs amazing power to defeat Doress and save his friend. Did I mention the boy has amnesia? If you didn't notice from my description of "Baoh"s story that I was being sarcastic, I will say upfront,BAOH IS AN AWFUL ANIME. Quite honestly,I could find hardly anything decent about it besides the animation. Not that the animation was that good. Sure,the animation was very detailed, but it was not very attractive. The textures were ugly,and took away from the overall experience. The story was fairly unique,but the plot was pretty bad. What bothered me most was the extreme(and I mean extreme!) violence.I'm talking almost X level, almost as violent as "Fist of the North Star" . "baoh"s violence was almost unbearable, mostly involving heads. Honestly,I have never seen so many ways to destroy a head. Heads explode ,are chopped off, get needles blasted into them, are cut into multiple pieces, smashed, melted, the list goes on and on. Yeech! Another flaw this movie has is its embarassing dubbing.It's some of the worst I've ever heard. Sometimes it is overacted,and sometimes the voices sound like the actors are half asleep. And sometimes,they combine both bad and good dubbing into one sentence. This anime has so many problems I can't name them all. Don't torture yourself.This garbage won't appeal to anyone. Even if you like the graphic violence, chaotic and excessive gore and blood, The film will still provide you will another bad point. Just please,for your own good,stay away. You'll be glad you did. And for those of you who make the fatal mistake buying this trash, I can only laugh and pray.
