Blue Submarine No. 6

Blue Sub 6 seems like it could be a typical science fiction anime on the surface and on the DVD cover, but once you begin to watch it, you will notice a fair amount of philosophical topics addressed. The story is of a near-future which has been flooded by a shadowy scientist named 'Zorndyke' who is trying to make humanity pay for its crimes against the natural world. This show addresses the ideas of how humanity interacts with nature as well as science's roll in protecting the Earth. Also, the theme of becoming overly fanatical to a point of endangering that which you desire to save plays a major part in this anime in the latter moments of the show. This is anime is on the high end visually, though it cannot hope to match the quality of Burst Angel or Elfen Lied and definitely worth watching. It has the appeal of a short story whose purpose is more to provoke questions than to answer them.moreless

This is one of the best anime movies I've ever seen, I watched it way back when, when Cartoon network aired it on Tv as a movie the second time around. I fell in love with it immediately. I've been looking to buy it but I can't find the movie version of it anywhere. I think it is good enough to compete with Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, even though they are completely different types of movies. I think I watched it twice actually, I just remeber that the first time I watched it I didn't really understand it, but then the second time through, I watched it again because I loved the world mainly, I got it. The world the movie/show is set in is similar to that of Waterworld which is another great movie. So I think if you haven't seen this, you need to.

And If it seems like this was a very unorganized review it's because i rushed it and I had to have 100 words so ...yah.moreless

it takes places in a future time, with the sea levels dramatically risen and humanity on the losing side of a mysterious war. The story revolves around the Blue Submarine No. 6, a futuristic submarine with a talented military crew. The key characters are Hayami Tetsu, a great mini-sub pilot but depressed and aimless, and Kino Mayumi, a cute girl pilot with a strong conviction to fight in this war.
