Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Harikrushnan WHAT I LIKED1. The anime stayed true to the Pokémon games (the events, music, etc.).2. The brutal suffering of Pokémon (Charmander getting mauled by Squirtle and Marowak's murder) were shown, even though they were brief and toned down.3. Mega Evolution is not supposed to be a part of this anime as it is a newer game mechanic and is not present in the original games, but it was an enjoyable addition.WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE1. Too short and rushed. Needed to be much longer to adapt the games completely.TOP EPISODES1. File 4 - Charizard2. File 3 - Giovanni3. File 2 - Cubone4. File 1 - RedVERDICTGood anime adaptation of the Pokémon games but needed to be longer to do full justice to the games.7/10 - Good

lilithen I actually didn't know about origins until I saw it lately, When I watched it, it was amazing. To me, they should have made this a full anime, and stopped the other main series anime (that anime isn't the best, for those of you out there). Anyways, I still believe this anime deserved it's rating. Because its really, really good. For starters, the animation looks gorgeous, and the way they added in the modern use of mega evolution sealed it. It makes this anime great, just how true it is to the original games. Sure, they made obvious changes, but other than that, it stay pretty true. So, to recap, this short anime was great and true to its roots. I give this movie, a 10.10.

Ben Scribner I'd like to think of myself as an Animation connoisseur, and this is definitely a work of art. I've loved the game ever since I was a kid, but that being aside the animation in this series is astounding. Let's be honest, the regular Pokémon show is a lot of things, but animation is not a strong point. The characters are static and choppy. And even in the intense scenes they don't quite give you the level of excitement it should deserve. But this show is different. The camera moves with the Pokémon in battle. The Pokémon have weight, they move around believably. They move, bend, stretch, you can see tension in their muscles. I found myself being really drawn in. You just got excited! It made Pokémon so much more real to me, which in any animation is a good thing. Seeing Charizard like that makes me fall in love with Pokémon all over again. Here's a spoiler: look forward to that last scene with Mewtwo. It's AMAZING!I also loved the little changes they made, like giving Pokemon real animal sounding cries instead of just saying their name. The only thing stopping me from putting a 10 on it was story. I loved the story, but it still felt like a regular Pokémon story sometimes. I loved how they kept it with the game though!They gotta make more like this!

Optimus_Prime_is_OP Pokémon origins is the name of a special 4 part mini series based on the Pokémon franchise.But unlike the regular anime that has been going on since 2008, Pokémon Origins follows the original Red and Blue games almost flawlessly, with some changes, which i will explain later.This 4 part series follows the adventures of Pokémon trainer Red, who goes to many gyms and defeats the gym leaders in order to eventually compete in the Pokémon indigo league. At the beginning, however, Red doesn't have this in mind at all - he just wants to instead complete the Pokédex.What i found striking about this Special is how the battles are portrayed. They are high speed and intense. It is also brutal in many places.I also liked how the characters are much more likable than the regular anime. For example, Red i find to be a much better developed character than Ash. Also, Blue is still a character that you despise (that's not a bad thing, you are still supposed to hate him), but he wasn't the type of hate you got from Gary in the regular anime.The Pokémon, also, don't say their name all the time. They make actual animal like noises, which is a lot less annoying.Team rocket are here as well, but are actually a organisation, instead of a bunch of 2 bumbling fools and a talking Pokémon (Jesse James and Meowth), there for they are a lot more menacing and are like an actual threat.The only things wrong with this special are the pacing, the final battle with Blue and the battle with Mewtwo. The pacing is really off at some points, for example, you don't see all the gym battles, at the start of every episode, Red gives a summery of what happened between episodes.Next complaint is the final battle with Blue. Again, this is to do with the pacing. We only see the final part of the battle in depth. I would prefer it if we saw the whole battle, instead of the final segment only.The last complaint is with the final battle with Mewtwo. The battle's fine, but they put in a mega evolution from Pokémon x and y. This, although is cool, just feels so out of place in a anime based upon the first generation games, with an inclusion of a element from Generation 6.Overall, Pokemon origins was brilliant. It is a good tribute to gen 1 of Pokémon, but is bogged down a bit with pacing and story issues.8.2/10
