DVD - Legend of the Stone of Gelel
Kawasaki handles the visuals with confidence, keeping human movement fluid and never forgetting the dancelike appeal of martial-arts grace. He uses the forest backgrounds well, and Haido's mobile fortress is pretty impressive. The smooth simplicity of the character designs facilitates their mobility, and Kawasaki is fully willing to resort to flashy digital effects—particularly during the massive destruction of the climax. However, his heart obviously isn't in it. Certain details are allowed to slip through the quality control net—keep an eye on the sloppy movements of Haido's transformed minions—and the only flashes of inspiration are during the fights and one moment that references an important event from the television series. Compared to the wild, unrestrained energy of Spriggan, Gelel is downright insipid, not even good enough to be called a shadow. That Toshio Masuda's quirky, rocking mixture of blazing guitars and traditional Japanese instrumentation is diluted by bombastically stereotypical theatrical action themes does nothing to help.
