I would not have said it that way, but it is always good to check online for reviews or even rent from a video store before purchasing a new title.
some info i found... i haven't seen this one yet.
* Mixx Entertainment
Saint Tail info:
This new title from Mixx's Chix Comix line is very similar to Dark Horse's SHADOW LADY. Accept this cat burglar has made a pact with God instead of a demon. Meimi looks like a normal schoolgirl(actually an slightly older version of CARD CAPTOR SAKURA)who recieves missions from a local young nun to reclaim stolen objects and return them to their rightful owners. So she dons her magical girl getup and goes into action as the vigilante, Saint Tail. This might seem nice, but the police see her as a theif too and are constantly out to get her, especially Meimi's classmate, Asuka Jr.(no relation to the Asuka from EVANGELION!). He is the son of a police detective who is out to catch Saint Tail, and Jr. tries to catch her on his own. Of course there's the plot device that disallows anyone from recognizing Meimi as Saint Tail even though she doesn't wear a mask. SAINT TAIL has most of the maho shoujo elements like a cute sidekick, in this case a hedgehog. The creator, Megumi Tachigawa, originally titled it MYSTERIOUS THEIF SAINT TAIL It was made into a anime TV series too, which so far there are no plans to release in America. Alot of plot points of this story were later on rehashed for another series called KAMIKAZE THIEF JEANNE, which is also planned for an English translation soon. SAINT TAIL it very cute and a fine addition to the recent wave of magical girl comics that have hit the States. Snuggle it in right next to your copies of MAGIC NIGHT RAYEARTH.
