[Guyver Spawn]

Anime I finish this week:

3x3 Eyes: Seima Densetsu (3×3 Eyes: Legend of the Divine Demon) - It was good to see what happen after episode 4 of the last OVA series. While the animation was good, I really wish they didn't make each episode be 45 minutes long. The pacing felt rather slow at times and the ending did suck. The anime leaves yet another cliffhanger seeing that the manga was still being published during the 1990's. I feel like that they should have created their own ending for the anime instead creating another cliffhanger. The character relationship between Yakumo and Pai is great always. I love these two character and seeing them together is always great in my opinion.

Seeing that the anime ended 14 years ago in 2002, they can easily make a new 3x3 Eyes anime now that covers the compete story. Overall, I like the first four episodes of 3x3 Eyes better but it was still decent. Grade: B-

Space Patrol Luluco - I only seen Inferno Cop and Kill la Kill from Trigger, so I didn't know much about the show going in. The anime is very funny with a good cast of characters. I feel like I would like the show more if each episode was 20-30 minutes each. I didn't like the 6 minute run time that the show had. The short run time that both Inferno Cop and Luluco had reminds me of the short run time that Adult Swim shows have. Besides the short run time, I did had a lot of fun watching the show. The animation is great with a great use of colors and the humor is pretty solid. I also like the crossover episodes from Trigger's other anime series. I didn't love it as most people did, but I still enjoy it. Grade: B

Psycho Diver: Soul Siren - I always wanted to check out this anime for a long time seeing that it was only released on VHS and never on DVD. This anime is enjoyable to watch but could have been better. The anime is from Mad House and old school Mad House always made my favorite type of animation. Animation that is very dark and gritty looking. The animation style in this anime reminds me a lot of Wicked City and Ninja Scroll which is awesome in my opinion. The animation is great and really capture the mood that this anime was going for. Dark, violent and gritty. The story is pretty interesting with the idea of a person that can enter the mind of other people. This anime came out before The Cell, Paprika and Inception. However Psycho Diver does suffer from having weak character development and there are things in the story that didn't much sense. However the action was pretty good and all the action scenes are well animated. The ending did left things open and suffers from what most old OVA's had by trying to kick off a series (See Black Lion, Cybernetic Guardian, Kimera and Ayane's High Kick).

Overall Psycho Diver is a fun anime to watch. Not great or terrible, just an enjoyable anime with a cool premise and good action scenes. If you want to watch a fun anime to pass off time, give it a watch. Grade: B-
