I don't get the hate behind this one. I rewatched it and it's still a good story.
A scientist laments on an accident for years from when he created a mecha robot that costed him his daughter's life. He lives saddened, distraught, absolutely broken down.
When a kaiju awakened and tries to destroy Earth, he decides it's time, goes back to the mecha robot and sacrifices himself to kill the kaiju. He parts the world with his very creation in memory of his daughter.
The CGI was very real like, the fight with the kaiju you can feel the man's physical and emotional pain. He bleeds in the burning cockpit his last bit of strength to go down with the kaiju and explode in space was still very touching.
I need more something like this, that's 25 minutes and a good story, Please recommend me if y…

Hey everyone, since the last review posted was from almost 12 years ago, and the movie was released 15 years ago i felt that a new review would be cool, i won´t say much different from the later review, but, i will pull my points of view and my opinion on it :
First of all and most importantly is to reinforce some points :
1) This movie is a tribute to the japanese kaijuu movies (godzilla and etc) and also the metal heroes and tokusatsu series, so the premise and the main idea was never to change the genre or to shock, but, to feel as a nostalgic piece for fans of that style.
2) The artstyle and animation was intended to look old, to feel like it is an old series from the late 70's/80's that had the time setting in the futuristic 2000's.
3) This is a short 25 minute long movie, so it w…

Judging by the number of recent views, I take it most people have probably seen this during Sci-Fi's airing on 9/22/08. What an interesting OVA to show, especially followed so closely by Gurren Lagann and seen by a fanbase that has probably seen Big-O :)
Anyway, there are two, maybe three important things to know before viewing this:
1.) It's intentionally done in an "old school" style and is obviously an homage to Kaiju films (i.e. Godzilla etc)
2.) It picks up after the admittedly largely forgettible and throw-away beginning.
3.) It appears to largely be an interesting tech demo with some pretty cool giant monster vs. giant mecha fight scenes added.
Either way, with the whole thing being only 24 minutes long you won't waste a lot of time watching it.
