Anime: Sin: The Movie

>> Quick Review:SiN is based off the 1998 PC computer game. What this Anime and the game share in common are the main characters, company names and some of the weapons bear some resemblance to those in the game.

This Anime is a run-on-the-mill action Anime attempt. A poor story surrounds the odd patches of decent action. A story is clumsily forced into the plot, but it fails to add any depth or meaning.There are various attempts to bring some depth to some of the characters but this never works very well and you never feel you have any insight into them. All the characters as well as their relationships seem terribly cliché.One slight upside is that it does tell some of the main protagonist's (John Blade's) back story, but again this doesn't work as well as it could have.
Your everyday antisocial, tough guy with an essentially good heart and an attitude; fighting against monsters. I'm afraid it is that hollow and that simple.
The story holds no surprises right down to the predictable ending.

The art is not too bad but again lacks any kind of sophistication. The animation is passable, but nothing out of the ordinary. The monsters are in part inventive but mostly seem like you have seen them before

Game to Anime tie-in's rarely turn out good and this movie is no exception. It's not that this a terribly bad Anime in any way, it's just that there really isn't anything noteworthy, or exciting about it either. I doubt there is much here for fans of the PC game either as there is nothing much besides the names that makes any kind of link

An average to below average Action Anime with monsters.
