Description:

Based on a popular PlayStation game, this 1999 TV series suggests an unsuccessful mixture of Trigun, Outlaw Star, and Slayers. Gunslinger Sheyenne Rainstorm is awakened by Herculean scientist Kiel Aronnax--and finds he has the body of an adolescent boy. Even in juvenile form, he can handle an ARMS, an ancient, super-powerful weapon. But he wants his adult body, so he and Kiel wander the desert planet of Far Gaia on the trail of body-shaped treasures. Along the way, they pick up Isaac, a cute, wisecracking beastie. The trio continually crosses paths with three would-be treasure hunters: sorceress Loretta, who uses Tarot-like cards, vampire Mirabelle, and their cute, obnoxious pet Jerusha, a former mate of Isaac's. The storyline is so complicated that director Toshiaka Kawasaki uses endless Morris the Explainer scenes to try to untangle it--with limited success. (Rated 12 and older: nudity, violence, risqué humor, alcohol use, profanity, homosexuality) --Charles Solomon
