Innocent Venus
Anime DVD
If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic-style shows with tons of explosions and carnage, then this is the anime series you've been waiting for! extremely high-quality production value (in other words, the series looks totally amazing, no expense was spared) and pretty kickin' music to boot, the sheer level of action will hook you into the storyline and keep you coming back for more.
 Boasting a really big story with really big action, Innocent Venus hails from famed production studio Bandai Visual (Mobile Suit Gundam, Cowboy Bebop) and Director Jun Kawagoe (New Getter Robo). Innocent Venus is anything but your run-of-the-mill mecha story. This is an exciting, action-packed series with sophisticated settings, great character designs and a fluid animation style that incorporates 3D cell-shading. The entire production is top-notch.
In the year 2010, world-wide "Hyper Hurricanes" have wiped out five billion people and radically altered the world map. In the wake of the devastation, a group known as Logos rises to power, taking control of most of Earthís now-precious resources. To ensure their dominant position, Logos creates Phantom, an elite force called on to suppress renegades and rebellions. Now, Joe and Jin, two of Phantomís best agents, have escaped with a mysterious girl who may hold the key to the planetís future.
This is a darkly intriguing series about people struggling against an oppressive system. It features lots of sympathetic characters and a mysterious, slowly unveiled plotline that will keep you guessing as to what is going on. And just when you think you're figuring it out, the tables will be turned!!
