Aura Battler Dunbine Anime Impressions - Tokidoki Entertainment Journal - Anime and Video Game Community Within the first few minutes of Aura Battler Dunbine the viewer is transported from Earth to the world of Byston Well, and is quickly greeted with a group of human characters who are torturing a beautiful woman in a cage. The moods and events in Aura Battler Dunbine are exceptionally adult, a good example being the aforementioned racial comments yelled from one character to another. For many people, Aura Battler Dunbine has two knocks against it from the get-go: it is a long series (most likely twelve volumes by the time it finishes next year), and it is decidedly oldschool. www.tokidokijournal.com /anime/aurabattlerdunbine   (1071 words)

Aura Battler Dunbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dunbine was one of the first anime series to combine fantasy with modern science fiction (though this would be repeated with The Vision of Escaflowne). The Aura Battler mecha were all undisputedly the most dodge crazy units in the game with decent attack. The Dunbine units, although quite small in comparison with some units, the units from the L-Gaim series for example, they are not to be taken lightly, their Aura attacks can take out several opponents at once, are very damaging and can be used more often then the high powered attacks of other units. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aura_Battler_Dunbine   (2500 words)

Aura Battler Dunbine Aura Battler Dunbine is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy adventure that was released as an anime series on Japanese TV during the mid-1980s. The Aura is important because it is needed to pilot the prefered weapons of Byston Well: the Aura Battlers. When the designers of the Aura Battlers began the designing process, they were frustrated with the director's and producer's limits on the creativity placed on their original designs. dougram.battletechnology.org /Animation/Dunbine/Dunbine.htm   (1691 words)

AnimeOnDVD.com >> Disc Reviews >> Aura Battler Dunbine Vol. #04 But none of this compares to Garalia, who in her new battler, finds the increased rush in power to be intoxicating and causing her to become even more wild and dangerous. Various battler names are taking on a more natural and Japanese feel to them and some of the character names are back to what’s long been considered the more authentic original romaji version, such as Cham returning to Chum. Dunbine continues to be one of the best surprises of this year. www.animeondvd.com /reviews2/disc_reviews/2565.php   (1746 words)

DVD Verdict Review - Aura Battler Dunbine: Volumes 5 To 10 Dunbine strikes me as a cross between Saint Seiya and Gundam, a nod to the days when vast, dense epics (usually centered around warfare, as Dunbine is) were the big anime draws. What works about Aura Battler Dunbine is that the machines never take over the story—it's the egos and the aspirations of the people involved that ultimately drive the plot. Also in keeping with old-school animation style, when the aura battlers and battleships go to war, the dogfights are intense and epic in scope—there is nothing middling about the way these ships go at it, and each fight becomes like a carefully choreographed dance, a thing of beauty to behold. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/aurabattlervol5to10.php   (1581 words)

Aura Battler Dunbine Vol 01: Tales of Byston Well   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Dunbine is an early (possibly the first- my knowlede of anime isn't quite good enough to tell for sure) exemplar of the "Japanese teenager transported to an alternate existence" genre. It seems that surface dwellers, having been actually born into the world, have an abundance of aura power and thus make ideal pilots for his latest generation of "Aura Battlers", i.e. According to the plot the aura machines are made of a mixture of organic and mechanical parts, and this shows up wonderfully, especially in the insectile Aura Battlers. www.animefu.com /index.pl?node_id=12012   (897 words)

Amazon.com: Aura Battler Dunbine - Tales of Byston Well (Vol. 1) - with Series Box: DVD: Yoshiyuki Tomino,Shawn ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) ADV’s release of Aura Battler Dunbine: Tales of Byston Well will be available in two versions: as a DVD in its standard case, or as a special edition "Memorial Box," including the DVD and a high-quality ("hard") custom series art box, sized to hold the first six volumes of the series. Aura Battler Dunbine is IMHO one of the strongest works Tomino (of Mobile Suit Gundam fame) ever did. But you already see my point: Dunbine is a real masterpiece among the real robot animes of the early 80's (and that says a lot, since the genre includes such classics as Macross, Votoms, or Z-Gundam). www.amazon.com /Aura-Battler-Dunbine-Tales-Byston/dp/B000093NP8   (1222 words)

: RevolutionSF - Aura Battler Dunbine Volume 1: Tales of Byston Well : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Even though "Dunbine" is an entirely separate work, it covers a lot of the same thematic ground as the "Gundam" saga, especially in its exploration of the brutality of war, its high character body count, and its annoyingly whiny protagonist. However, these machines are called "aura battlers" for a reason: they can only be activated by people with strong auras. And the only people with auras strong enough to effectively pilot the aura battlers are those from "Upper Earth": our world. www.revolutionsf.com /article.html?id=2035   (1155 words)

Aura Battler Dunbine There, he was forced into piloting the Dunbine aura battler for Drake Luft's military. The designs for the aura battlers spark something in the imagination; they're bug-like curiosities (designed by Macross' Miyatake Kazutaka) that soar through the air with a sense of grace and power. At its core, Dunbine is a fantasy epic, but the crust surrounding it still resembles the average '80s mecha series. www.animeacademy.com /finalrevdisplay.php?id=32   (400 words)

DVD Verdict Review - Aura Battler Dunbine (Volume 1) The most surprising thing about Aura Battler Dunbine is not its much touted mecha design (sort of insectoid) or its action (the animation, from 1983, is rather dated)—it is the intelligent writing. The premise of Aura Battler Dunbine is initially somewhat hard to swallow: Gundam meets A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. At $30 for five episodes (four on subsequent discs), this series is going to suck all the aura out of your bank account. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/aurabattlervol1.php   (707 words)
