Azureus Rising: Ninja Cyborg TRAILER Will Blow You Away (VIDEO)

Black Sun Entertainment, a company we heard about for the first time today, has posted an incredible proof of concept trailer for a new animated movie trilogy called "Azureus Rising." This had better get made.

The animation is fantastic, and the storyline involves some kind of ninja cyborg (cybrid?) doing exactly what you want him to be doing.

Black Sun Entertainment posted this plot description on its YouTube page:

Azureus Rising is the proof-of-concept for an all new feature film trilogy. Azureus is the story of a young man who after escaping death and enduring a life changing journey - matures into a heroic freedom fighter. Azureus Rising is an epic tale of self discovery, obligation and love against all odds.

The animation was okay, but they need a writer.

Nothing beyond what has already been done.

No emotional content. If you can't establish why "I care" at the beginning, there is no point to any of it.

Nothing clever in the battle scenes. I really thought he was going to cut off his tail and then the tail would of pointed down, falling off, but still firing and destroying the monster. That would of been different...

Its all generic video game action plus Tron and Matrix. Uninspired. Next time, cut your effects budget in half and invest in story and concept development.

That was my impression too. A good start, needs some work.

it was a proof of concept, not a story trailer. look at the proof of concept for 300, it' pretty much the same. and either way, this is a good way for an animator to show off his skills and its something good to put on a resume.

Did a pimpled face pre-teen write this article? I am trying to figure out the enthusiasm for the clip. or perhaps it was a friend of the animator

It lacks a certain story telling element. Sure, he's flashy. Sure, what's left of his flesh can withstand impossible g-forces. Sure, he's melodramatic.

What's missing is any feeling of empathy for him, or drama. I'm not drawn in.

Here's an example of talented story telling, where the story is the focus, not the advanced graphic engine:

While Azureus Rising looks pretty, what the other artist did with a very limited modeling tool is a better story. Now we just need to get them together.

Aeon Flux cartoon was much better.

it looks like the company should be making video game cinematics, nice, but worth 3 movies? more power to em.

They should just make it into a video game. I wouldn't go see this movie but I'd buy the game if it were fun and I could do all of those awesome things.

Ripped off from a thousand anime tropes.

Which were, themselves, ripped from a thousand other anime tropes.

You're ugly.

Ghost in the Shell was better.
