this is my review of the first volume in the six dvd series.
this is one crazy show with no apparent genre, it gets crazy with the first episode where the first scene the main character excel graduates from highschool. skipping happily and humming across (shall be explained later-ish) kicking people in the process. a truck comes honking loudly while our clueless hero still humming and skipping...
oh no!! our hero gets hit by THE TRUCK!! is the story finished? ney! our hero sees her life passes by (with scenes of her getting drunk and being sacrificed in some sort of antichrist like cult) then cut to a scene where she floats in space and heres a voice the voice tells her that the show shouldn't last one episode and the voice ( or the great macrocasm which is a man sized universe that does the task of resurecting the main characters in the show (who repeatedly dies) ) shall resurect her.
cut to the scene where our hero is alive and well while the great macrocasm is sneaking out of the scene. shes inside the top secret headquarters of across ( across is a secret ideological association whos bent on world domination, has a total member of three. comprised of two women and a scrappy pup named minchi (minced meat in japanese) ) shes being bouncy and crazy about serving il palazzo (main honcho of across) which intern ticks of mr. "im so handsome I can be a leader" and shoots excel in the head, the great macrocasm then does her job again and landing our hero back at start, where shes being crazy and tries to hug il palazzo. il palazzo showed his love by shooting her with a bazooka. scene starts all over again where il palazzo orders excel to assasinate the original creator of the manga and anime koshi rikdo. the reason for this is that il palazzo thinks that manga is a worthless type of literature where he thinks it is the source of woes for all mankind.
I didn't expect this review to be so long, this is the first time I actually summarized a dvd I watched!
well this is far as I can go, im doing this review 2 in the morning.
im not even done with the first half of the first episodes and my brain cells are going for a dive.
so with no further ado, lets give this bad boy some score.
recommendation score: 7/10
why? because of the many objectional subjects, like the great macrocasm which they explain that its a materialization of the human will (i think), or the spiritual laws within the anime. there are some scenes which are both hillarious but still look a bit tragic ( like excel being hit by a truck). and one more thing thing I haven't shown this in my review yet but excel picks up a cute little dog who becomes excels emergency food supply, its a japanese thing.
personal score: 10/10
I don't get offended very often with anime and other medias, so a little racy humor here and there, a non-christian like acts here and there doesn't bother me... at all. its a good show if you just look pass the stuff. nuff said.
