Ozzy’s new CD wasn’t the only surprise Target had for me, nor was it the only thing I purchased that day.
While I was happy to see a new Ozzy CD, seeing a new Highlander title sitting on the shelf had be a bit worried. But like any fan, I couldn’t pass it up.
Highlander: The Search for Vengeance might as well be the anime version of Highlander II: The Quickening. This time around, we have yet another immortal MacLeod, by the name of Colin (Conner, Duncan, Quentin were the others).
Summary of the plot…. Colin’s wife is killed by another immortal, and he seeks revenge over the ages. Every battle between Colin and Marcus for the next ~2000 years is interrupted, usually with Colin losing (save his head). In the end there can be only one, and you can pretty much guess how the story goes. Aside from Colin and Marcus we see two other immortals, and the ghost of a Druidh who reminds me a lot of Merlin The Wizzard from Disney’s The Sword in the Stone. It’s a very basic, and very flat story. While the animation wasn’t bad, I’ve seen better.
