DVD REVIEW:
An anime that one must
have an open mind to watch. An anime that will appeal to visual
kei (a form of Japanese rock) fans and also an anime that is based
on a popular manga in which the first four volumes are collected
in three OAV's (Note: There are a few significant differences
between the manga and anime).
Unfortunately, I can't
describe too much of the anime because it's one of those that
one must watch and just a mention of the plot, will confuse many.
What I can say is it's
a battle between good angels and bad angels. Heaven, Earth and
Hell. Can one be sympathetic to a troubled angel? Can one be sympathetic
to a brother and a sister in love? This alone will trouble people
but there is a story behind this and remember that these people
aren't necesarrily normal people.
After watching this
anime, I could only scream "I want more!" but unfortunately
there are only three OAV's at this time. Each OAV is about thirty
minutes each and it's not for everyone.
The DVD comes with an
art gallery and the making of the English dub.
It's a popular series
among visual kei fans, especially cosplayers. But it's worth giving
a try if you have an open mind and hopefully more OAV's or a series
will be released.
THE OAV's: A-
THE DVD EXTRAS: B-
THE DVD OVERALL: B+
