Pîtâ Pan no bôken (1989)
one of the best novel anime adaptation with a plus!
it's rare to find animes with a good storyline and characters this days. i grew up watching animes and this peter pan adaptation is really good and added up with a new storyline.
every Nippon's world masterpiece theater series that was shown in my local channel have been very memorable. from Heidi, a dog of Flanders (where many people cried in the ending scene), tom sawyer, princess Sarah, cedie and many more.
peter pan is very famous story about a boy from neverland together with the lost boys who never grows up. he met Wendy and her sibling and got invited to go to neverland. the anime tells his adventures together with the darling siblings and the lost boys like in the novel. the first half is faithful from the novel. it introduces peter pan's arch nemesis captain hook and his pirates. peter pan always get the upper hand at the end of the day and captain hook always divert his anger and frustration to his crew for being stupid or he is being chased by the crocodile.
the second half is the added story arc. it started when hook destroys the tree house and peter and the crew decided to take a journey with their new mobile boat house around neverland. this is the most enjoyable part as they will go on places that are really weird but fascinating. the storyline focuses now on the new character princess Luna who ran away from her grandmother who is an evil witch from turning her into evil and destroying neverland. from there, they have to find a way to defeat the evil sinistra before neverland reach its doom.
the series is faithful to the character roles and storyline as much as possible. the added storyline is great and more exciting than the first half as it turns a little bit dark and serious but because they now travel, you will see the neverland's fantasy.
SCQ Reload Ok Ako! (2004)
a show ruined by its the cast.....
scq reload is a very entertaining show to watch. it is somewhat original compared to other youth oriented shows in the filipino television today.the style of the show to put wackiness and spoofs at the right time made this show really good.
of all the cast, i think melissa ricks and neri naig performed their roles really good. they are the ones who brings life in the show. well, as well for the others (leading scq questors), their just OK but still not great. i was quite disappointed because the other two questors (raphael and errol) didn't have much exposure and character development. they seem promising young actors whos talents aren't been recognized nor noticed.
the season 1 is the greatest of all the three seasons before it was cancelled. season 2, is where the downfall starts until its episode 4-5 of season 3. it starts when sandara left followed by neri, michelle, Joseph and melissa due to their other commitments. the cancellation was a total shock even to the cast due to this reasons.
a good show that was led by its cast to its downfall.
