Rating: Summary: An improvement over the first in some ways Review: At the time of this writing, I own both the first and second DVDs in this set. As in the first DVD, the episodes in this DVD follow the everyday life of Moe, a typical Japanese schoolgirl, along with the four inch tall demon Risky and the four inch tall angel Safety that both occupy the same body. The content is still at a level that can best be appreciated by children, but adults can still enjoy watching the episodes.The first DVD spent much of its time defining its characters and laying out the general situation. This second DVD, however, does not feel such constraints and therefore spends more time in telling stories. While some stories seem to simply follow the characters through their odd adventures, some of the other stories are told by Risky and Safety, and still others are told in unconventional ways. The episodes that talk about the origins of Risky and Safety are quite humorous in that they somehow combine an ancient Japanese legend with a satire of anime space sagas such as Gundam and Legends of Galactic Heroes. Another odd episode tells a story about Risky, Moe, and the people in Moe's life in a silent movie format. Overall, this is good light entertainment for the entire family, although still better anime movies are available.
