Rating: Summary: The Weiss Kreuz Universe Unfolds Review: With the next five episodes of Weiss Kreuz (released in the U.S. as "Knight Hunters"), the world of the four florist-assassin heros begins to open and the story starts to unfold. My personal favorite episode in the series, "Fraulein" (episode six), introduces us to the shadowy enemy that Weiss will tangle with for the rest of the series. As the episodes progress, we meet Schreient (a group of four quite insane female operatives) and Schwarz (another male quartet each with a certain supernatural ability), both of which work for Weiss' Aya's hated archenemy, Takatori Reiji. Or do they? Both of the groups opposing Weiss seem to have their own agendas as well.This disc focuses more on Aya and Omi, where the previous disc featured Yohji and Ken more prominently. Omi's past is shown and some surprising secrets about his heritage are revealed. The plot thickens as more about the main characters comes to light, creating a fascinating set of episodes to draw the viewer in. Anyone disappointed by the first disc definitely needs to give the second a try before giving up on the series. This second set of episodes is where the story begins to pick up and sympathies with the characters start to develop. It's sure to please and intrigue even the skeptical viewer.
