Well internet world...it's been quite some time. I apologize for not keeping up with my blogging...my work schedule has been pretty hectic. So today's "anime" is the Animated Epic of Dante's Inferno.
I watched this not too long ago and I must say that even though it only kinda follows the original I really enjoyed it! This movie was based off of a video game and 6 different animation teams worked on it. So there are 6 different art styles throughout the whole thing; some are similar and some are so totally different you wonder if you're watching the same thing!
The story follows Dante as he makes his way through hell with his guide Virgil to save his lover Beatrice from Lucifer. Most of the art was awesome while some of it was a bit weird for me :) Oh and did I mention Steve Blum plays Lucifer? Oh yeah. That totally happened :D and Mark Hamil (AKA Luke Skywalker) plays Dante's father.
ART! (which is a bit difficult...b/c there are 6 different ones and they aren't in order...)

Pros:
- Most of the art was awesome!
- Steve Blum & Mark Hamil
- Based on an awesome story!
- Some of the art...
- Story is really different so...it could be hard to follow
- Because it was done by so many different people some of the early events happen differently at the end...not a fan of that. Also with the art change it can be hard to figure out who people are...
Thanks for reading! Until next time,
