Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

John Doe This was a great anime film having been released originally in Manga format written by Hiroshi Takashige and art by Ryoji Minagawa (he also did the series Project Arms). It has a lot of top-notch action sequences and really high quality animation for 1998. The film was supervised by Katsuhiro Otomo also (for you Akira lovers out there lol) However, ADV Films did rewrite the English script which i didn't like but that's okay lol it's still a good movie and it is still worth seeing. as the English voice actors did a great job with their roles.I give Spriggan a 7/10

tcbdeo Frankly, Spriggan will be offensive to those who literally perceive Western holy books and/or who are pro-America. It is best if they avoid this film. It is no wonder that the movie seems to be censored in America. Spriggan is not produced in the United States and vendors from Amazon UK will not even ship to the U.S. Real collectors will want a copy just because of its rarity.Pacing is great and action is superb. The good-guys are the standard boring but the villains are fun. The animation has a personal style and is fluid.Anyone who thinks Spriggan is a poor film is a person with very specific expectations.

Gunstar_Zero Spriggan is arguably one of the best Anime to come our way. Based upon the manga of the same name, Spriggan tells the tale of Ominae Yu, an elite commando/superagent/operative for a powerful corporation known as ARCAM, whose mission is to protect and defend various ancient ruins scattered around the world. The codename Spriggan is to denote men and women with special abilities and skills in the employ of ARCAM whose combat abilities far surpass that of a normal human being. Ominae Yu is Japan's No.1 Spriggan but he is not the only one in the world. Namely his best friend Jean-Jacques Mondo who is France's top Spriggan.Personally, I've read the entire manga series and watched the anime way before it was released in the States. I basically loved the story and concept behind Spriggan and enjoyed every minute of the anime. Although some fans may argue that the anime didn't do justice to the manga by omitting certain unique features and characters which is somewhat central to the original story. But we must remember, this is a movie. It could not possibly squeeze in hundreds of pages of details into a 90 minute show. I admit I was somewhat disappointed by the changes. However, my fears were quieted when I saw how they brought alive the entire plot by introducing better script, better dialogue and better cinematography. Not to mention advanced animation techniques supported by cutting edge CG. However, the production staff chose the manga's second volume which tells about the discovery of Noah's Ark as the main plotline's premise rather than first volume. I guess Noah's Ark is a far more interesting story to tell and I have to agree on that.With a strong plot and cool-looking fight scenes that is fluidly animated to create a level of realism rarely seen in other big-budget anime movies, Spriggan still has some quirks that I need to mention. Except for Ominae Yu, Fattman and Colonel MacDougall, the rest of the cast's background were not clearly fleshed out. We were just told they were either the villains or the good guys and that's it. Other than that, this anime movie is definitely worth a watch many times over. Spriggan is truly a classic.

10Sega WOW! This Anime was FANDOOBLEEDOOTASTIC! I'd say it was a mix of Ninja Scroll because of the stereotypical Anime' villains. The wirey guy that laughs at the sight bloodshed and of course comes with a weapon that best describes his personality..."wirey". And the big guy that's unstoppable, with a totally new outtake on the gattlin gun. And there's also a GOOD bit of AKIRA stuff goin on in this flick. You have the "corrupt" politician theme as seen in AKIRA, and also who can forget the psychic power action in AKIRA? Well it's here too, the animation is TOP NOTCH, especially where the action takes place there were moments I held my breath cuz of what was happening. This movie is highly recommended! If you love your action then check it out. Also, the soundtrack makes the movie that much more moving. So, all in all if you're into ACTION and ESP then this movie is for you. AKIRA!!!!!!!!!
