Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans [Le Redundant Review]

(Warning: Contains some spoilers)

Yes people. To those who have already watched the original Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans (PoEtSS) OVA or at least know something about Raging Blast 2, you should already know that PoEtSS had been given a complete reboot and included in Raging Blast 2.

And to those of you who already watched the original, you may already recognize that there are many major changes made to the new PoEtSS. For example, scenes where they individually show Goku, Gohan and Piccolo destroying the Destron Gas-releasing machines around the world are taken out, and they zoomed in straight to their fight against 'Frieza' and his 'gang'.

The animation, simply put, is top-notch and of very high standard as compared to the original version. It's also nice to hear recognizable Japanese seiyuu offering their parts again in this OVA, such as Masako Nozawa (BOY, SHE'S A LEGEND!!) and Ryo Horikawa (one does wonder why there is no English dub for this OVA though, since the game itself is dubbed). The music has also been given a fresh new take, and, I dunno about you guys, but it almost sounds like the music you get from games like Bayonetta and DMC, and their music is just fantastic.

The downside of it, however, is that as a person who already had a chance to watch the old version, I find the reboot a bit too rushed for my liking. I'm not particularly happy at the fact that they didn't include some scenes that were present in the original (see the first paragraph), and the fights against the Ghost Warriors itself has lost its adrenaline and 'oomph' so much, that I find myself thinking that there is nothing much to it at all. In short, that particular battle was way too short for my liking!

A very interesting point to take note of is that the main antagonist in this OVA is also included in Raging Blast 2. Though you might feel that it's not worth buying the game for the sake of the OVA, at least get it for the game itself. I, myself, should seriously consider a PS3 right now, since Raging Blast 2 seems like a very promising game to me.
