Crystal Triangle...
Long ago, I picked up the VHS version of Crystal Triangle...
This was a strange homage to the first Indiana Jones movie. There's some atrocious English dialogue. The pace is very slow and the payoff at the end isn't worth the wait. Overall, I gave Crystal Triangle a 0 out of 5. In the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep it in my archive.
Koichiro Kamishiro is on a rather esoteric mission: he seeks the Message of God. The interesting thing is, he's awfully close to finding it.
While this philanthropic archaeologist has only the most noble designs on putting the Message to use, the myriad message-seeking maniacs on his trail aren't quite so benign. They will stop at nothing to acquire the Crystal Triangle he has discovered, which seems to be the crucial instrument in making the long-elusive Message at last available. After all whoever possesses the Message of God, it is said, holds in his hands the fate of the world.
Follow Koichiro through the depths of his bizarre and bewildering adventure, which unexpectedly draws together everything from the Ten Commandments to the Nemesis re-creation theory, and everyone from Tibetan monks, to American CIA agents.
With its mind-racing plot lines, intriguing characters, and downright awesome action, Crystal Triangle is Japanese animation in all its glory. Koichiro Kamishiro proves that Indiana Jones doesn't have a lock on all the archaeological action in this world, and once again, U.S. Manga Corps shows you that animation ain't just comics with sound!
