Overview: (DVD
Back)
During
Tokugawa Ieyasu’s epic battle of Sekigahara, two samurai face off outside
of history. In the heart of the duel between Kyoshiro and Demon Eyes Kyo,
a shooting star slams into the plains, shattering the ground and engulfing
them both. Four years later, the bounty hunter Yura finds the good natured
Kyoshiro, now a traveling medicine man.
Hidden
deep inside Kyoshiro is the soul of his old opponent, the merciless samurai
Kyo. When Yura and Kyoshiro are thrown into battle, the medicine man's
friendly personality will recede, and the whole world will learn why Kyo
is called a demon! |
Review:
Granted
I've seen only one episode on a promo disk, so this review should be taken
with a grain of salt. The show looks rather interesting, sadly we
don't get to know the characters yet. The plot is a kinda like
Kenshin with Jekyl/Hyde thing going on. This series has monsters
so it doesn't seem to be all human vs. human fighting.
Some of the jokes weren't bad, a few were awfully crude. Given a
change to see more of this I would take the chance, or if I see it on sale
real cheap I might pick it up. Who knows, but I wouldn't hold my
breath, I can think of some more anime I'd rather seem more of.
So overall
it a very neutral rating, because you can't really read a show by
one episode. The dubbing is good. |
