DVD Reviews of Android Kikaider - The Animation Perfect Collection
DVD Review: Android Kikaider, the Series
Summary: 5 Stars
The genius robotics professor Dr. Komyoji has created Kikaider, a humanoid robot gifted with a 'conscience circuit' enabling Kikaider to simulate real emotions and distingusih between right and wrong.
"Jiro", as he is called by Dr. Komyoji's children Mitsuko and Masaru, finds himself struggling to protect Mitsuko and Masaru from the evil Dr. Gill and his androids, and also to understand his own conflicted emotions. Is the conscience circuit a blessing or a curse?
Kikaider, in my own view, is a must own to all anime lovers. It is indeed a depressing series, but it does have its moments where the scenes are thoughtful and heart-warming. Kikaider's basic storyline is that of Pinnochio, though it is based more off of the story than rather retold.
The series starts off with the beginning of Pinnochio, and then develops on its own from there, telling about a scientist who makes an android used to fight evil, while the android tries to figure out his emotions, and whether he is a 'good robot', a 'bad robot', or even just a 'mad machine'.
"Jiro", otherwise known as Kikaider to the evil forces, struggles to find his existance, and why he feels the way he does. Yet the more he finds out, the more he wants to become human - and find out why he feels differently than those that are human.
The DVD itself has very few features, but it does have a gallery where you can look at screen shots that are taken throughout the series, such as action shots, and poses that the characters are in. Also, the perfect box set also has four episodes after it - the series of Kikaider 01.
If you like robots and very good plots, then this is an EXCELLENT anime for you to own.
