Rating: Summary: Title suggests that it is an arcade game... Review: This anime barely rises to the level of mediocrity. There is nothing truly objectionable -- it only feels like you are watching over the shoulder of someone playing a (boring) video game! There are only two episodes on the DVD, so there is little to watch in any case.The Heroine's father, Demon King for 999 years, sits in a deserted castle and allows four (4!) humans to kill him with a magic sword. He can teleport away, but decides to let them stick him so the "too powerful" weapon is removed from the world. How (ahem) noble! The heroine's older sister, the only other person in the castle, gets cut down as well... The King's army is off chasing the routed human army it seems, but where is the domestic help? With such oddities as a short human mercenary with a automatic pistol in each hand -- but no other firearms of ANY type... An insane elder brother who shows up to derail the battle in Episode 2 after the usual "Evil Tyrant Oration"... Bah! Save your money for some other DVD... I would suggest "Iria:Zeiram the Animation" if you want to see a spunky girl kick alien butt. Or "Shadow Skill" for magic and martial arts, or "Outlaw Star" if you would like some zany fun. But run, do not walk, away from this one!
Rating: Summary: A theme, not a story Review: Watching this disc is like starting a book about 300 pages in and trying to figure out what's going on, but then deciding to stop reading with another 200 pages to go. There is no beginning or ending to this incoherent mess, just some stuff that happens for no explainable reason.
