Jinnai's D.N.Angel Tv Review

Warning: Undefined variable $cover in /var/www/minitokyo/www/html2/reviews.html on line 7

Rated: 6

This isn't to say it was great, because it had a few important flaws. For one, the use of black magic in the setting bothered me. To many, the use of tarot cards and spell-casting in the real world isn't a big deal, but it made the tone of the show feel a bit off to me. It doesn't flow well with the light and airy atmosphere the rest of the show has. Second, the whole "angel" concept here is a shoujo convention that has no real purpose as I see it. It's a gimmick, not a useful part of the story (at least not yet). Then there's Risa, who is too close to the "power of love" stereotype who mindlessly finds herself attracted to Dark.

Jinnai's Blue Seed Tv Review

Warning: Undefined variable $cover in /var/www/minitokyo/www/html2/reviews.html on line 7

Rated: 5

It's hard to peg BLUE SEED into a convenient label...at first, it looks like it might just be the first tentacle horror anime to be given its own TV slot. But then, things change and get surprisingly lighter, even humorous...and this is just in the first four episodes! Although some have criticized the opening of BLUE SEED as being formulaic, which I understand, I was incredibly intrigued by the possibilities. Though I haven't had the chance to see the whole thing yet--a caveat that needs to be made, considering that the show may go somewhere I don't expect--the opening is surprisingly strong and looks to set up a truly enjoyable series.

Jinnai's Battle Athletes Tv Review

Warning: Undefined variable $cover in /var/www/minitokyo/www/html2/reviews.html on line 7

Rated: 6

This would be a top-tier show if it weren't for a few nagging but important problems that take it out of my top ranking status. First is the opening prologue, which details thousands of years of history in ten to fifteen minutes. Not only is it rife with cliché, it is so annoying that I flirted with stopping the disc after just that time. I'm glad I didn't, but the opening is pretty terrible, and the show has to work hard to overcome the preface. There's also the issue of Mylandah, the rival who's willing to do almost anything to anyone to win the title of Cosmic Beauty.
