Roots Search: Shokushin Buttai X poster

A fun but extremely generic space sci-fi anime. With only 45 minutes on the clock, Roots Search doesn't have much time to elaborate on the plot and characters, but it would've been nice if it hadn't stuck so closely to its genre cliches. The limited animation and predictable outcome stand in the way of a more memorable experience.

The sci-fi elements are nice enough, but the art style is pretty limited, as is the quality of the animation. The plot is generic and the film charges through it with little conviction. If it weren't for the fact that I like this type of sci-fi there wouldn't have been much of note here, I still enjoyed it for what it was though. Just don't expect too much of it.
