I have been a huge fan of anime for pretty much as long as I've known of its existence. I love the stories, I love the music, I love the range of aesthetics- I love it all. However, if I had to choose one thing that's my favorite single aspect of the medium, it would have to be the potential for hidden gems. Unlike with most other forms of art and entertainment, not everything great is going to be recognized, and as a result, you have an innumerable amount of hidden gems to discover. Anime is home to treasures hiding around every corner, and Tenamonya Voyagers is nothing if not the archetypal hidden gem. Indeed, it has slipped into near total obscurity since its release back in 1999. Despite this, I strongly feel that if it had gotten a full release, this anime could have contended with th…

Such a shame this turned out the way it did. It had the ingredients on-paper to be a fun little OVA series, but it's just wasted on lame jokes, completely random and inconsequential plot, and empty characters.
The story starts off by introducing and uniting the three main characters... and then the rest of the story is driven by random events out of nowhere to propel it along. There's no telling how you got where you are and where you'll end up in the next five seconds. It's entirely disjointed and eventually just drops the very tenuous direction that it even had, which was vaguely "get back to Earth." But that goal doesn't matter, the events you're seeing one second don't matter to the next, and so on. The story is a wash, but the characters don't fare any better. They're as one-note fro…

It's always difficult to assess these OVAs and TV series that are sadly unfinished. How does one rate something when it's not finished? Well, there are two forms of unfinished that you will typically see: the first involves a completed arc; in some cases there's not enough material until years later for a new season to be created in the first place. Secondly, there are series that are just dropped either at a random juncture or more was clearly meant to be made, and it just wasn't.
The former would include series like Berserk (1997-1998), which was unfinished in the sense that the manga continued on for years, but the arc itself came to a satisfying conclusion, and so this series does not feel unfinished per se. The studio behind that season wouldn't be involved with anything that came o…

Earth or Bust! Unfortunately, it was Bust.
I actually watched this show out of pure curiosity. I was just looking up info on Akiyuki Shinbo (Director of pretty much almost everything SHAFT has animated like Zetsubou Sensei and Negima!?) when I saw this work listed. I've pretty much never seen much of his earlier directing works unless you count Nanoha Season 1 as his earlier works. For some reason, I chose this one mostly because the story sounded interesting enough and I was expecting an action science fiction drama sort of thing. At least I was right about the first two things. This turned out to be an action packed science fiction comedy, and boy did I joy every bit of it.
Story - I won't go into the details of the story, but this is pretty much the biggest weak point in Tenamonya Voy…

This Anime apparently was going good, but it never finished...
I\'m betting it was supposed to be 6 episodes long, because the story has never been concluded and there\'s a 99.9% chance it never will...
Apparently, the ratings were so bad, that the company that made it must have lost a hell of a lot of money if they weren\'t willing to make 2 more episodes...
It is pretty funny, but so short it really feels like a waste of a good idea...
Overall the Anime is sweet and short, and if you don\'t mind never getting to see the end, it\'s a fun short ride...
if you haven\'t seen this, then you don\'t have to...
it\'s just a fun and brief Anime, nothing to get serious over, and nothing to seep into total fandom for...
