Zipang 6: Target Mirai
After two snoozeworthy volumes of "Zipang," I obviously wasn't anticipating volume six. Thankfully, my spirits were raised as these three episodes contained actual action and did not move at a snail's pace.
Here's a rundown of the episodes:
1. " 1 VS. 40"- The USS Wasp sends out a squadron of fighter planes to destroy the Mirai.
2. "Warning"- In anticipation of a second attack, the Mirai set out to destroy the USS WASP.
3. "Sinking the Wasp"- The USS Wasp is destroyed and the Mirai heads to Japan.
Instead of endless lifeless discussions, the characters finally take action. Huzzah! These three episodes, while far from perfect, deliver some well constructed battle sequences between American fighter planes and the Mirai. Not only does the battle provide a welcome relief from the dull characters, but it also further develops the crisis that faces the crew of the Mirai. As the Americans launch an attack, what is the crew of the Mirai to do? They aren't going to let themselves be killed. The only option is to change history by defending themselves. I am certainly interested to see what consequences their actions will have. The writers better have a strong satisfying ending in mind.
The DVD
Video:
The 16:9 Anamorphic video picture looks even better on this disk as 3-D animation was more prominent in these three episodes. The fighter plane/battleship fight was a feast for the eyes.

Film and television enthusiast Nick Lyons recently had his first book published titled "Attack of the Sci-Fi Trivia." It is available on Amazon.com.
As the story progressed slightly and a few battles took place, this sixth volume is a notch above the last two volumes. As I am in a good mood, I can recommend a rental.
