Review: (#1) At least they have the plug attached on the guitar, that must account for something? Nope. It’s a dull design. (#2-#7) These six character posters are differently colored, but feature nothing exciting or richly detailed enough to make them interesting. (#8) Some added detail to the background and foreround from the first poster make a slight improvement. It’s still not particularly interesting. (#9) The character poster motifs brought together for a four-panel design just doesn’t work that well. Sure, it’s an improvement over the character posters, but that’s it.

(#10-#14) More character posters, this time in English, but not much more interesting. (#15) Is this the best we can hope for? An action poster that accentuates the cheap-looking animation?

Trailer Rating: D

Review: Cheap, unfunny humor; a plotline that’s not particularly engaging; and animation that looks like it was done by those without any idea of how it should be done make this a boring, unamusing trailer that won’t appeal to those who’ve grown accustomed to major studio quality.
