Mirai Shounen Conan, an anime classic that I had high expectations for, and how could I not, especially seeing that all the reviews on MAL are good, that's why I'm here to burst the bubble.

Let's start with the characters, specifically Conan, a textbook Gary Stu, with ridiculous strength, speed and agility, as well as a blatant plot armor (except if it's spanking, you will understand when you watch it), as well as being a siiiimp because of the useless Lana, the perfect damsel in distress, and of course Jimsy, the only one I can't criticize, in fact he has an interesting character development.

The villains are ... the worst, a nation of very bad and very stupid bad guys, led by the great villain, with an evil laugh and the most cliché and flat motivation in history.

Then there's and the message, which is basically "nature is good, war is bad" but put in such an obvious and superficial way, a mediocre environmental pamphlet.

Even the action is questionable, it's funny at the beginning but it becomes repetitive.

And even with all that said, I can't hate this anime, I don't love it either, but it still has its charm, the drawing and animation quality is excellent for its time, and the designs are Ghibli (before Ghibli) everywhere you look.

Conan despite all is cute and overflows with charisma, even Lana has a couple of redeeming moments, although for me she is still the worst of the protagonists.

And while most of the action is repetitive, there are some that stand out for good, especially the final battle, which was exciting and fun at the same time.
Even the cliché environmentalist message doesn't bother me that much, I guess I forgive it because of how old it is.

All in all it's not a marvel, but being the classic that it is I think it's still worth watching, just don't go in with too high expectations, or you might end up disappointed.

I have come here to tell you about a wonderful anime that I have just seen, probably one of the best, packed full of varied and crazy but interesting characters, a science fiction plot and incredible dramal, in short, a masterpiece called "Steins;Gate".

I recommend you watch that anime, and if you have already seen it, see anything else, anything except "Hametsu no Mars".

Believe me, there is nothing minimally decent about this thing, and if you don't believe me, I'll give you a little summary:

Plot: Nothing in the story makes sense, as far as I understood some Martians attack us because... and instead of sending an ... army of tanks and elite soldiers to fight them, they send a 4 inept children to face them.

Characters: In summary there are 3 girls, whose only distinctive feature is their hair color, they are experts in combat but they are totally useless, there is also a boy whose name I do not remember, is a poorly made copy of Shinji Ikari, who is forced by his unnamed father to wear a robotic suit and fight the alins.

Art: Bad, just bad, the design of characters, landscapes and others is mediocre at least, like a sheap anime of 90s, in addition there is almost no movement, to the point that when a character dies the rest does not even react.

Sound: It was really necessary to insult classical music by mixing it with this shitty anime???

Enjoyment: So bad that I had more fun reading the reviews of other users.

In conclusion and as I said before it is bad, do not see it, do not waste time, even though those 20 minutes do not seem much, they are not worth it.

PS: I hope you understand my review made with google translate. :P
