Topic: Amon Saga


  
  Amon Saga (1986)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Amon, the hero of the piece, is reminiscent of Conan the Barbarian but has the long light hair and pretty features of a "bishonen" character.
Amon is quite handsome and Lichia quite beautiful, with her long blue-green hair and slender, pale, delicate body, but it's not unreasonable to ask for more reason to root for them than that.
The main reason to watch AMON SAGA is the artwork, including participation in the character design by renowned pop artist Yoshitaka Amano, who's designed video games and anime and done artwork for fantasy and graphic novels.

 X111.com :: View topic - Amon Saga
Amon is joined on his quest by a group of ragtag mercaneries all with their own personal missions.
Amon Saga certainly has promise from the standpoint of its pedigree, spawned from a story and art in which the great Yoshitaka Amano, the master behind the conceptual art for the Final Fantasy series as well as the character designs for Vampire Hunter D, was one of the contributors.
Amon was the classic loner with a dark past, and he filled that role well without taking the aloof hero thing too far (he still did display some emotion, and wasn't totally immune to what was going on around him).

 EX: Review - Anime - Amon Saga
Perhaps AMON SAGA's biggest draw is that the character designs were done by Amano Yoshitaka, famous for Vampire Hunter D and Final Fantasy (EX even published a calendar with his works).
AMON SAGA is primarily an action anime consisting of mostly sword fights with the occasional odd magic battle.
Overall, AMON SAGA is not awful, but with the amount and choice of anime now available on the North American scene, that is not much of a compliment.

 AMR: Amon Saga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Valhiss killed Amon's mother after all, and even though Valhiss is a huge armored figure, at the head of a powerful force of brutal warriors and has a dark citadel built on top of the back of a city-sized turtle, nothing will stop our hero from his vengeance.
Amon is definitely of this school, which explains why even when he rescues the princess, who has made it clear she loves him, he gives her back to her father and heads for the hills.
Partly because Amon is a stealthy sort, but also because it reduced the amount of detail that needed to be animated.

Amon Saga has beautiful cover art designed by Yoshitaka Amano, the same man who came up with Vampire Hunter D. Being lured in strictly from the cover and not knowing anything else about the movie, Amon Saga looked like the next hit sci-fi fantasy thriller in the tradition of, say, Conan: The Barbarian.
Amon Saga has horrid action sequences, and run of the mill characters that are average at best, despite the designs coming from a master.
Amon is half naked man who maurades the desert with a sword.

 Amon Saga
Although the characters were designed by Yoshitaka Amano, who was already well known for his work on Vampire Hunter D, Amon Saga suggests a mixture of Conan the Barbarian, Prince Valiant, and American Saturday morning TV shows.
Their adventures are fairly standard for the genre, and the battle with the dragon kept by the emperor's sorcerer is shamelessly lifted from The Return of the Jedi.
However, Amon Saga offers one genuinely striking visual: the capitol-fortress of Valhiss, built on the back of a monstrous tortoise.

 Anime Reviews
Amon Saga not only doesn't cover any new ground in its genre, it barely slaps a threadbare rug over the ground that usually gets covered.
Somewhere along the line, his evil supposedly caused the death of Amon's mother, but it's never clear whether she was targeted for murder or was just collateral damage during the random-town-razing phase every young evil overlord goes through.
Amon and Lichia, meanwhile, are as bland and bloodless as a pair of doe-eyed Beanie Babies.

When his hunt leads him to the castle of the Emporer Valhiss, Amon must endure the perils of initation and join the ranks of the Imperial army in order to gain an opportunity to take his revenge.
The front cover image of Amon by Yoshitaka Amano of him jumping towards the viewer is both extremely eye-catching and mystical, and also unfortunately of a standard far, far, far above the actual movie to the point it’s bordering on false advertising.
The plot is your generic and bland fantasy romp, with a young hero seeking vengeance against the big bad guy, who wears a mask to hide his disfigured face, and falls in love with the captured princess along the way.

Amon Saga has all the elements common to much anime: buxom women, mighty-thewed heroes, fearsome villains, and a band of sidekicks to support the hero and provide comic relief in the slow spots.
Indeed, the hero here has thews so mighty that this is clearly the reason why he wears a skimpy loincloth: those thighs would rub holes in trousers in no time, and lead to much chafing.

 AAW: Amon Saga Quicklook
Amon Saga, influenced in story and art by famed illustrator Yoshitaka Amano, is a fairy tale with its feet on the ground.
It mixes a storybook plot with plenty of style and well-done-for-the-era action, but tempers that with slightly more down to earth characters, a sense of realism in the action, and a more personal feel to the central hero's quest.
Much like Vampire Hunter D, Amon Saga is somewhat old fashioned and far from original, but it still has some style and creativity.
