Riddick: Dark Fury

Post by Chaos Angel » Sat Jul 10, 2004 4:15 pm

I know it's not anime. But I'm bored. Sue me. :^|

I watched it last night. It's a 35 minute short done by the guy behind Aeon Flux and (I THINK) Reign. Not all that hot, but it does kind of fill the gap between Pitch Black and Chronicles of Cheesy, um, Riddick. Animation's pretty, that's about it. Ok to check out if you like the prettiness of CoR and want more glowy-eyed stuff.

Actually I do think this is anime o.O but anywho...

Yeah I have this. Peter Chung did an okay job, but I'd rather of seen the team behind VHD:B do this (their work in Animatrix deemed them worthy) because they seem to do well with with the more darker style works.., that and they make their 3d and 2d animation blend rather seemlessly.

The short seemed rather underbudget, there's a lot of details with the cg that didn't seem as clean, the final fight scene was some choppy animation. Frankly I think Chung is getting lazy and is relying more and more on CG animation and isn't paying much needed attention to the hand drawn stuff.

It was still a nice short story..but there's still an entire 5 years they can still cover with an OVA of some sort. Like i've mentioned before I wouldn't mind if they gone into details about Jack joining up with the mercs, Lord Marshial's trip to the Underverse, then his conquest against the Furians, and some other shit. All that could actually make a pretty interesting animated series.
