Now you will experience true evil...Some shitty ass tentacle alien monster 1995 Oh believe me. I already have. This shit has pushed me to the limit... spoilers for Super Kid. Dont watch this fucking abomination its not worth your time. Read the review instead and spare yourself the pain Super Kid is some kind of South Korean knockoff of the ultra popular anime: Dragon Ball Z. This anime is so bad that I actually wish I picked Dragon Ball Evolution instead. This pile of fucking horseshit is why I wish we sided with North Korea instead so the they couldnt make this dumpster fire. In the span of two hours your patience and sanity is assaulted put to the test only the strongest of individuals will survive this travesty. It isnt even funny bad in any regard its just maddening. I legitimately find this to be a prime contender for the title of Worst Anime of All Time and in a world such as this where over 2 decades after this dreck came out the likes of Hand Shakers Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei and Mars of Destruction exist thats quite an honor if you wanna put it that way. You need an iron will to even last halfway through this heap much less the whole 100+ minute torture session. I might as well have watched SAW at least there I would know what Im truly in for before I even watch it. Hell given that this is a garbage DBZ knockoff I probably shouldve watched Dragon Ball Evolution instead. Before we even start the putrid excuse for a story we have to sit through almost 4 minutes of a trailer that shows almost everything that will happen in the movie. Its just an obnoxious and tedious recap of what we were literally about to see and it just kept dragging on and on just as soon as you think it would end. Keep in mind after this we have over 100 minutes left to view and they literally waste our time for 4 whole minutes. Nonetheless with that out the way lets jump into the movie proper. We actually begin with 2 minutes of Eunjoo sleeping and her coworkers chatting and the snoring is obnoxious but then her walkietalkie goes all Walt Disney on her by sprouting arms legs and an angry 1940s Disney cartoon character face before waking her up with an excruciating ringtone that probably hurts us more than it does her. Its a call from the boss of her reporting business and she literally falls asleep again snoring and somehow the boss cant hear her loud ass snoring. How has she not been fired yet if she has been doing this kind of crap on a possible consistent basis? Whatever we see some random unexplained green cubes of letters as Eunjoo takes off in her flying car and is given a debriefing on the Super kids which is just crappy exposition for the audience. Also the youngest member is 11 the youngest member to be active in the movie is 13 and everyone else is either older or infinitely older with our protagonist being 199 years old and one of them being 2000 though they cant identify an exact age but never even try an approximation. Kids my ass. We then see these...kids take on a reject member of the family of Kang and Kodos from the Simpsons and some Terminator reject as they have kidnapped a scientist. We never see the scientist in this movie so this was unnecessary as they couldve just made it so that the criminals were causing havoc in the city or something that way it would make sense how they handled it. After embarrassing interplay and fighting they are apprehended. Also we learn that we will never know how these characters get their powers as they just pull any and all powers out of their ass. Remember in Dragon Ball Z Naruto or even Fairy Tail how people would call out their attacks and perform specific motions in order to channel their body to perform them? Yeah theres a reason thats important as annoying as it can be to hear the same attack name shouted over and over its so that it doesnt just come out of thin air. These shounen series actually establish these attacks and what is supposed to happen for them to be executed like a hand sign or a specific body gesture. Here these guys pull whatever our of their asses some of which couldve really gotten them out of sticky situations had they used them earlier which becomes especially apparent in the second half. After that we see the heroes acting like brats before a commissioner and an officer give them their next mission which is the bulk of the plot: stop this alien overlord which has ravaged planets youre already making the Frieza and Buu connections I just know it and his assistant with a tragic past. After it all goes wrong said assistant whose name isnt even on MAL does a pathetic face turn and points out Heroes to the fact that the officer was evil all along so they split up two to take down the cop and two to take down our main villain especially since he has recently captured Eunjoo who was a stowaway since she wanted to get more scoops about them. The fight Gokdari and his rock buddy have against the cop who randomly turns into an alien is part for the course at this point and runners the question of how they got back if tee spaceship they used to get to the alien planet isnt being used this also applies to how they get back. As for the final fight its also par for the pathetic course at this point. The assistant takes it some kind of crazy energy ball the villain stores in him that made him powerful and performs a sacrifice to destroy it and then the villain gets his ass kicked and arrested and the heroes get money and spend it on some random charity. The end. Also remember the 11yearold girl who was shown in a screen in the beginning? Never shown. There was this guy that looked like Yamaha from the original Dragon Ball and hes only on one scene. Either way you get my point right. Everything is pulled out of its ass and never properly introduced and the plot makes no sense. Its such a simple plot which makes it all the more unbelievable as to how badly they fucked this up. Either way moving on. The team of Super Kids is absolutely unlikeable and unworthy of being called heroes the supporting cast is barely there and barely worth mentioning like the lazy and pathetic Bulma wannabe Eunjoo and the villains are pathetic and one Note losers that all become crybabies at one point or another. Gokdari is infuriatingly arrogant and dumb and he actively goes as far as to basically torture opponents who surrender like that alien. I neednt mention the assistant character with the tragic past of losing his son and then turning evil until only now decided I wanna be good again so Ill help these good guys. Lets get the rest of this shit show of a cast started since I already covered Eunjoo and Gokdari. Also the Yamchalookalike and the 11yearold girl as well as the generic mayor and the rest of the villains wont get a mention since I have literally already said everything you can say about them in this review as it is theyre that pathetically characterized. Theres also this pilot guy who only shows up to do one thing: deliver a punch with his mech to the final boss leave and then go weirdly berserk in hopes of finding the now defeated villain. Well here we go... Big Boy what a generic and lame name is a 13yearold coward who keeps getting the hots for Eunjoo and being an arrogant loser thats his whole character. Samachi who looks like a winged and anorexic King Piccolo is just a bickering teammate who just gets his job done. Rockpile only talks when he wants to make rock puns about something going on and has nothing else to him. Saint Teolteol is just an old man with nothing to him other than the fact that he is the eldest one he doesnt even do anything. You know the sad truth is that Ive just covered every single character here to a T. Pathetic. I bet that as soon as you heard Korean knockoff you immediately knew that the animation would be cheap at best youd be right since sometimes you actually do have to judge a book by its cover. The animation often jitters to the point of looking like an animatic or a series of still pictures moving fast but not fast enough to convince us of actual motion this is a 1995 movie a movie released the same year as Ghost in the Shell and Macross Plus Movie Edition with both are gorgeously animated. The fight scenes are pretty bad as well thanks to the lack of actual choreography. Characters almost never dodge either. Expect a distressing amount of reused animation which I have never seen in an animated film before. Then again this was probably made in a puny budget that would explain why they hired a Horrendous cameraman to record this. They often zoom in and out for no reason and in many scenes of travel the camera just jitters in order to help make the scene look less like animation and more like an animatic. Its not like it records the full screen either given how during the scene where Eunjoo sees bios of the Super Kids its cut off. The animation isnt overall abysmal but its still terrible and coupled with it being reused and having a bad camera yeah... Ever wanted to see a film assault your ears? Then youve come to the right place fucko This film will make your ears bleed in pain and beg for mercy by the 10minute mark. The OST is obnoxious as fuck and thats largely thanks to the fact that the sound equipment in this film is so goddamn awful that a 1960s Hanna Barbera cartoon does a better job no scratch that fucking 1920s films have infinitely better sound equipment for their music and voice acting Then again the OST is worthless even on its own and I dont need to research the songs to tell you that. The sound effects are beyond atrociously as well like the rocks or how when a character crashes into a ground it at one point has the sound effect of the classic character gets slammed into a car and I dont need to tell you why that is a horrible sound effect choice do I? It applies to almost every single sound effect imaginable here. The Ocean Dub yeah it was dubbed by the people that gave you the godawful DBZ Ocean dub is easily the worst dub I have ever heard in my life not because the voices dont remotely fit with the characters but because theyre so damn grating Special mention goes out to the infuriating voice of Gokdari and the borderline incomprehensible voices of the cops alien form and the main villains final form God fuck this dub Fuck everything about the audio Im damn sure I lost at least a few cilia over this horse shit Lets just move on... This film is so so goddamn irritating that it hurts Hurts like a mother fucker If the abominable characters dont piss you off enough the nightmarish audio will really crest an experience so irritating that it becomes even more maddening than having to put up with a whining crying 2 year old at the supermarket that just wants whatever the fuck he cant have and having to put up with that is not only infuriating especially if youre the parent but its goddamn mortifying for all parties involved. Yet this film is more irritating and more mortifying Id be less embarrassed getting caught watching hentai than even watching this shit let alone getting caught doing so especially since its basically selfinflicted torture for me to view this Id get sent to a mental hospital. Its maddening but not infuriating to the point where you just want to explode like the absolute worst title Ive covered though believe me with the audio it really comes close. Its just overwhelming enough to push you to the brink of your endurance but not destructive enough to the point of blind rage and a passionate lust for revenge and that makes it all the more painful since I cannot reasonably vent until after the viewing is over rather than if I exploded while watching as that means I get to blow off steam to the very piece of technology that is broadcasting what Im watching. I nearly gave up 15 minutes in to put that into perspective and if it was a fullblown television series with 12 24 or more episodes I certainly would have. Now is Super Kid the worst anime Ive seen? God no Unlike what I consider to be the worst it doesnt have a gigantic and brutal concentration of plot holes and abandonments of its premise contradictions of its own logic or abominable characters with absurd motivations and actions nor is this as visually offensive. However it is one of if not the most irritating and audibly offensive piece of work I have ever endured. Its characters are shallow and pathetic it pulls so many things out of its ass its world building is also ass its animation is cheap and lazy and its audio is irreparably bad in terms of equipment music sound effects and dub. It may not be the worst anime Ive ever seen but its easily in the top 3 as well as being the current worst movie Ive ever seen by a wide margin. Fuck this movie and everything about it not just as a DBZ fan but a fan of anime animation action and storytelling. With all that said Im off to watch some Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
