Oh! Edo Rocket
DVD - Season 1 Part 1
If the busy cartoon art on the cover didn't tip you off, the illegally infectious opener announces the intent of Oh! Edo Rocket with foot-tapping clarity: to deliver an energetic good time. And, a few hiccups aside, it delivers most generously.
From its first minutes, during which it hops hyperkinetically from grueling beast action to period-film slapstick, it's obvious Edo Rocket is one odd duck of a show. Its Edo is a funhouse amalgam of period architecture and modern culture, much the way its plot is a free-wheeling mixture of deadly intrigue and base physical humor. Some characters are proper humans, while others, who admit freely to being comic relief, are caricatures so extreme that they're only nominally human. Real history combines amiably with shape-shifting extraterrestrials and cheerful anachronisms, while outrageous character shtick alternates with unpleasantly authentic psychology. Wind that all up to a fever pitch and throw it off a cliff wrapped in visuals that push MADHOUSE's supple animation to loony extremes and you have Oh! Edo Rocket. And man is it fun to watch.
