   If you are 13 years old and just hitting puberty this is probably the coolest DVD you’ve ever seen. Pointless nudity, pointless action, pointless gore, and heavy metal music. What more could you want.

   Having seen real Anime that is good, it was tough to even compare this. The animation was horrible, and the dialog even worse. Stereotypes, clichés and all the plot of a B, no C grade movie.

   If you have half a brain and like good animation I recommend movies like “Ghost in the Shell” or “Akira” (if you want something from the same era), but I must warn you; If you only want to see some mindless drivel conjured up from a 13 year olds wet dream, then don’t waste your time on the two movies I just mentioned. You’ll be bogged down in excellent animation and intelligent plot. The only movie comparable to this would be “Ninja Scroll” as far as action and type, but again it is 4. 5 stars better than this.

   In conclusion I’d have to say that this is the worst animated movie I’ve ever seen (though as I mentioned before, if I had just hit puberty this would have been a 5 star movie). If you are over 18, or if you have ever actually kissed a girl, then steer clear of this waste of time.

   Brutally awful film that takes delight in poor taste and sadistic treatment of it’s characters. Hardly groundbreaking, animation is ugly and cheap looking. There is nothing redeeming about this film and you can do a lot better.

   This movie is a masterpiece. I just wish it was longer. I couldent get enough of this movie. The animation is great, the music. . . . for its time was wicked and the story is amazing. Den is the best story and Ard is funny as hell. Its really a great movie. But the reason I gave it a 1 star rating was the fact that in the scene with Harry Canyon and the chick, when they talk about the Orb, the colour sort of twitched. . . So on account of that, this is the worst movie ever made. Sorry.

   This is considered by amny to be one of the top Animes of the 80’s, why? Granted Akira deserves it’s rank as one of the best but this, this is sad. I was greatly unimpressed. It hits the average Anime level, pathetic. This at least had a reasonable plot, multiple stories told by a floating orb that kills people in a flash. This story throws at us stories from Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy, Comedy, and Action. All are pathetic. The voice acting is done primarily by John Candy, Harold Ramis, and other lesser actors. All the tales have at least on scene of Nudity. It doesn’t matter if it’s sex, flashing, or jsut getting naked. The problem was that I had my expectations to high, and the let down was so tremendouse that it [is bad] and I will never watch it again. Only watch if you like the music or are a hardcore Anime fan.

   In case you couldn’t tell by the scantily clad, ridiculously endowed sex object on its cover, “Heavy Metal” is little more than Playboy dipped into a vat of poisoned ink. The story line is weak — it had potential! Just imagine a growing green orb being the root of all evil! — and is primarily based on carnal relations between the underdeveloped, 2 dimensional characters. It will certainly cater to anyone with a one track mind or an admiration for empty, shallow sexual scenes. Erotic? Hardly. If you’re looking for an interesting animated fantasy tale that makes sense and actually has– GASP! — a plot, then check out Bakshi’s “Wizards”, and save yourself some time.
