Higlander the animated movie was quite entertaining.. Delivered action, A small hint of romance and a smidget humor (if there's such a word). The film however lacked a lot in my humble opinion.

The Video and Animation Left much to be desired. The drawing style wasn't favoured by me but I quickly adapted. The fight animations could have been way better as well. Most of the fights that counted were shown from a first person perspective which.. really took a bit from the fight in my eye.

Sound for the highlander animated movie was just okay. The music for the time lines was fairly done, the irish bag pipes etc.. But the battling music wasn't great and didn't add much of an extra umph so to speak to the fight scenes.

Re-Watch value is certainly low.. Technically You know this story already if you've seen the highlander movies / television series. The changes made to the anime isn't enough to make you wanna think about watching it again.

Character Development Was done well but only in regard to the two immortals of the story being Connor Macleod and Marcus of Rome. The visit each time line where Marcus and Connor battle for a basic synopsis of whats been taking place ever since the two firsts battled.

The feature was fairly entertaining, As i managed to watch it from start to end without being easily distracted. I was also quite interested in the final fight based on the results of all of the flashbacks between the Story's protagonist and antagonist. Connor Macleod and Marcus respectively.

The overall story Is faily simplistic. Nothing to give your mind work to do. It is very straight forward and you just get to see it unfold. The fiction of immortals are interesting but not original relative to anime's.

was watchable, wouldnt watch it again though.. matter a fact i deleted it right after. Somehow this is a bitter pill, cuz i dont remember the real highlander getting his ass kicked over and over and over and over again.

off topic: the opening was pretty cool
the sex scene was luke warm
the ending was too anti climatic.. 'there can be only one..' chop.. :lame

Exactly what i'm saying in the review. You should review stuff too. you got that eye for it. Wish others had eyes in general.. (:lmao) pun intended .

Really realy lame with the ending which is why it got such a low re-watch value.

Relative to Macleod getting his ass kicked you probably saw the television series with Duncan Macleoad.. Connor was only used in the movies. Connor got his fair share of asswhooping.

The real highlander "Duncan.." did he die in the tv series? What was his purpose.. similar to this anime?

The gray hair guy was too strong for his own good though. Swordmanship was fluid and flawless. reminds me of Isley from Claymores

wat i like about it is the storyline which doesn't exactly link with that of the movies but it still works. it could have been better in terms of the drawing it reminds me of fist of the north star.

i liked it just about as much as the movie they should have used the theme song that was off the hook. although i dont understand how the story turned out to be about a 'girl'.
