Mouretsu Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace

So, i like the Mouretsu Pirates series, this movie was not bad at all,but unlike the seires it doesnt deserve 9, rather 8 instead. Still i after watching i could say that it was relativly good.

Characters were as in series good, art and sound very good, story not so much, it was weaker then in the series but nevertheless enjoyable,
Mouretsu Pirates Universe is nice and it would be nice if there is more of it, and i really hope there will be as it deserve second season and lot more, i hope producers will see that and give us more of M Pirates,

Mouretsu Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace (2014)

Somewhat lost itself on the way to this movie.

The series that this comes from is a great ride from start to finish but this is somewhat too much of a happy-clappy experience.
The storyline is a simple son of a famous person is hunted for knowledge by a large corporation and needs saving. It is a simple princess storyline reversed in roles. It has a good premise but the way it is played out does not live up to previous standards.

The art is the same as before and has not changed at all which is good.

The sound ... is of the same standard again and follows a nice pattern.

Characters are all the same but the new one is a bit dull and the extra characters (villains) don't really do much either.

Although this should have been a really enjoyable experience it was not as I had expected. It is still a good watch but this is much more aimed at those who just want a happy ending. The less focus of Marika as well takes away from it, especially towards the end.

Mouretsu Pirates is one of those easy Sunday afternoon shows. Watching Marika shoot around the galaxy in a miniskirt and a smile is a lot of fun. So why when making the film did they decide to replace the main character with a dreary, dickless little shit? Kanata Mugen hates his daddy, lives by high morals, and loves nothing more than a good frown. This archetype ringing any bells? He barges his way into the show and finds himself surrounded and pampered by cute girls. This self-insert hero fantasy would be bad enough as a sideplot, but the omnipresent ... barnacle manages to squeeze his way into every fucking scene adding nothing but irritation and gloom. KILL HIM!

Aside from this show ruining character the movie adds nothing to the franchise. The animation quality has dropped since the series, the story seems drawn out and simplified at the same time, the Sci-fi elements are unimaginative, and rather than make new music they rehashed the old Momoclo song.

If you liked the series avoid the film.
