Altered Carbon - Resleeved .. a review

Hi www

Well.. I'm a huge Altered Carbon fan.. but what the flip did I just watch??

Altered Carbon: Resleeved.. has excellent art/graphics.. poor to OK sound..decent music direction.. but.. the dialogue!!

Firstly, I felt like I was being talked to like I was an idiot. Like this show was for IQ 70 and under.

Secondly and chiefly, did the writer/s even WATCH the show??.. it feels like someone read a leaflet/cliff notes and just shoe-horned another anime script into the Altered Carbon world.

Altered Carbon - Resleeved is full of canon breaking moments.. WHAT ON EARTH was Takashi's  sister doing working for C-TAC?? WHY IS SHE STILL ALIVE??

Nope.

If its in the past.. she NEVER worked for C-TAC and hates C-TAC.
It is a principal part of her character. she hates C-TAC.

If it's off screen present.. no she's dead. SHE'S DEAD.

Takeshi Kovac is not a bounty hunter. NOT A BOUNTY HUNTER.

Netflix.. get your money back from the shyster/s that wrote this garbage and ran off with your money thinking they pulled a fast one..

(written by Dai Satō and Tsukasa Kondo)

Neither one of these people have ever watched Altered Carbon. get your money back.

Now.. back to the compliments.. direction wasn't awful, but what was a treat for the eyes was the Art Graphics.. near breathtaking. THIS is where your money went.. and it shows. I heartily approve of the style and hope we see it again.. it very much reminded me of 'Death+Love+Robots'.

The Dubs.. well.. it was a Japanese show with much much Japanese culture.. why you couldn't have lip-matched to the actual actors who were doing the dubs.. especially when the dialogue was such trash.. I would even have prefered actors who are fans of the show to adlib their own lines.. I digress..

I felt if I had to suffer through such trash dialogue, you could have least matched the lips to each language.. which costs like.. next to nothing, due to it being CGI. you just press a button to open the mouth and one to close it.

Dub acting.. wasn't awful.. but that's all I really have to say.. 4/10 almost average. Again it would have helped tons if the actors had actually watched the show.

By the end.. I wished the art had resleeved itself into better dialogue. If we could RD the patronisation and blow the stack of whomever is assuming we are idiots.. this anime has great promise..but only if you never watch the real Altered Carbon.
