FIREBREATHER - Talkback

[ryuuseipro]

I missed the first showing Wednesday, but I caught tonight's showing of the animated movie Firebreather on Cartoon Network, and I can honestly say, I was pleasantly surprised!

The movie was a great tribute to Japanese monsters (in fact, all of the monsters are called "kaijuu"), which had colorful and appealing designs for once! (The main monster, Belloc, has an aptly Godzilla-like design.) The characters were actually good, and the hero, Duncan, recalls Gou Nagai's Devilman!

This special goes right up there with Sym-Bionic Titan as another worthy CN production!

So those who saw it, what do you think?
