Anime Review Box
I just got finished watching the best anime i have ever seen, 3x3 eyes, although i saw episodes 4 and 5 of the oav in 2002 i havent had the chance or thought until now to find them and watch them, the series took the cake, i swear to god, man jacob u'd be bawling by the end, i nearly shed a tear literally, and saikano didnt even give me the thought of crying... neway in the first three episodes the anime is more or less mediocre, u have the main characters pia(saigian) and yakumo, yakumo's dad was a psuedoscientist that studied demons and the occult and the super natural, it also starts out very very very wierd... yakumo works as a crossdresser in some sort of bar... wierd but trust me its not that bad always... then he meets pai (or pia)(pronounced 'pie') a sole surviving member of an eternally youthfull clan of demons (that lives on a separate plan meaning another dimension) and then everything goes to hell, basically shecarries around a walking stick with a sort of familier inside that depending on how it is released it will differ from teradactyle size to sparrow sized, well something suprises pai and it gets released as a giant. It ends up nearly killing yakumo, but then inside pai there was an alternate persona that was refered to as saigian, saigian transfers yakumo's soul into her own body turning him into a partly soulless 'wu' with is basically van hellsing's worst nitemare, no matter wat happens to his body (so long as pai lives) it will regenerate from any wound. All in all saigian saved yakumo's life but made him a reluctant slave to her will. Normally when a wu is made the soul is cast into the void, however, yakumos was merely transfered, therefore in order to become human again he must turn pai and saigain into a human.

The story line wuz great however there were a couple of problems:
1. in episodes one through three the animation was plagued by strange and 'jerky' animations...
2. in the episodes following were great in animation, i mean it flowed it wasnt jerky or even in the slightest bit crappy, but the one thing i did have a problem with was l8er on 'pai' looses her memory and yakumo and pai quest to regain it. Well when they are about to enter the dimension of the saigian oncura (thats the full name of the clan (but its still what pai's alter ego is refered to as) and that may not be how its spelled but thats how its pronounced) pai's alter ego saigian is released from a binding with none of her memories, and this is exactly where the voice acting is shitty as hell!!! Saigain starts laughing. This laugh makes u want to gag, i swear its awful... However this isn't a very big problem and other than that there are no problems with 4-7 (well us americans are basically depicted as a greedy annoying indiana jones mother ****** but thats comical and has its purpose)
3. In episodes 1-3 the script for pai uses very bad grammer, that pair with her slightly annoying voice (the audio of my copy may be to blame but overall it wuz as i said)can eventually get on your nerves but perservere my bros and sisters

the story... omfg... this was about the sadest anime i have ever finished, saikano although completly emo, this blind sides it, this is in no way emoish at all but the twist is just so freakin un expected! neway u need to watch this series, idc wat kind of anime you like this will be your #1 choice or if u seen a better one it will be your #2 those are the only two spots that it would ever be able to land in.

Also although this anime is not porn, u still get nipples in this series, however its nothing to call playbo magazine over it doesnt show any genitals or stuff of that nature or the nipple of actual straight up humans (or pai) its just like ranma 1/2 the animators felt that they should not sacrifice good camera angles (i say that as in a screen play sense not as in to 'get a good view') and i respect that, and i also respect that they have a limit to wat they choose to not divert from but they didnt really need to divert from anything. Which brings me to another thing, theres no panty shots or anything in this now there are comical accidental gropings but they have that in rave master (=P)

God now that i think about it i hate myself for watching it... cuz now i cant rewatch it... seriously its that good... watch it NOW!!!

... theres really nothing to decribe the most random anime I've ever seen... zomg this is like random as hell...

the story goes that theres this kid (i cant remember her name) that is a genius. She graduated from MIT (massachutetes institute of technology [a college]) at the age of 11 and (btw her father is american and her mother is japanese) she is now teaching at a school in japan. Her class is filled with the craziest sort of students. the class rep. is actually crazy... U have to watch to really understand how absolutly crazy this person is (there are times when they have emergency removals), they have a study bug with a forehead that can give people a tans (literally), the fansub im watching is helpful but distracting at the same time. There are so many refrences in this anime to random things, for example... gundam, chuck norris, and millions of japanese shows and dramas that are countless in numbers. I can decribe this anime well enough... watch it...

Very sad very cool anime. This anime starts of with this kickass figure popping out of a semi trailer (thats basically a portable lab) and killing these white 'nercrolized' soldiers. Apparently this guy has been necrolized too. Then it goes into this huuuuuuuuuuuge flashback that makes up most of the series. It starts of with brandon heat, harry mcdowel, and several assorted friends. They basically run a smalltime gang that is just making the ends meet and having fun along the way. One day they go to fight a punk gang with one older guy with a really bad brother. their gang never really uses guns but one of them carries one (which is never used may i repeat). neway they go to fight this gang and kick them in the face (pwnage) and the older guy runs to his brother which has come back to town. Well 3 friends are killed and then the mob shows up. Well brandon and harry are inducted into the mob. Brandon becomes the best sweeper the mob (call millinium or millenian [?]) has and harry begins to use schemes and such to climb the ladder with 4 friends, funding research that will eventually lead to the entire chain of events of this anime firing off excelently. Neway brandon is told to root out any traitors in the organization and kill them, so he goes and finds harry to kill him... but cant and then harry kills him. Brandon is reported to be a traitor because he couldnt kill his best friend and harry has serious guilt issues about the subject. So big daddy (former leader of the organization after he handed the control of the organization over to harry [of all ppl]) has a child with the girl that brandon loved and the child goes with her mother into hiding with a case that will tell brandon to come to her when she needs him. Instead the mother gives her case to her daughter and her mother is killed, so they set off to find brandon, they do and then thats when the ass kickery starts ^^)
