Customer Reviews for
Angelic Layer - Idol Worship (Vol. 3)
Unfortunately....I LOVED THIS SERIES
Seriously, I originally bought the first volume because I figured my wife would like it. Lo and Behold I became hooked. The series has humor, action, interesting and dynamic characters and is very well produced. If you are looking for something gory and violent then this is not it. But if you want a fun series that is both good for a date and kids then I highly recommend this series.Angelic Layer - Idol Worship (Vol. 3)
Singing, sabotage, and private karate lessons...
In the first episode on the third dvd volume of Angelic Layer, Masaki has a face-off with Ringo Seto, who was introduced in the previous episode. What keeps this episode from being just another case of Misaki overcoming her fears is the charming personality and sweet disposition of Ringo (especially in the Japanese dub). Keeping with the tradition of previous episodes, the tension escalates to new levels yet again as Misaki struggles to unlock the secret of Ranga's dance of death mid-battle! Icchan continues to be a hilarious character, and his disguise in this episode was a huge kick the first time I saw it. We also see more proof in action during this episode that Misaki can indeed learn dangerously fast how to counter attacks adn use new techniques, as she uses a the move Hotoko defeated her with to ring-out Ringo.
In the second episode Misaki and Hikaru face-off with the martial-arts wielding angel belonging to Arisu and Modoka. Unfortunately for Misaki, the sister have a sinister plot to sabotage Hikaru so they can fight Hotoko and her seemingly invincible Suzuka. Before that thoguh, Misaki gets to be friends with Ringo and learns a little more about "the prince of the layer". The dramatic tension is greatly increased by the battle being split into two episodes and the first of the two parter ending when the dirty tricks start in the battle.
Naturally the third episode continues where the last one left off, and ends with Misaki teachign the two sisters a valuable lesson. What really makes this episode so good isthe character development of the sisters and the elaborate fight between the two angels which shows a variety of martial-arts moves.
The final episode on the disc is one of the most forgettable in the entire series to my way of thinking, as it focuses on Misaki and Kotaro's "date", where he shows her some karate moves. The whole thing serves no real purpose except to shwo that their relationship is going nowhere fast and Misaki still can't figure out what her angel's weakness is.
If you liked the show up to this point you should get this volume as well, but look forward to the fourth volume, which features some of the best dialog, character development, fights, drama, and creamy goodness found in the entire series. It just keeps getting better and better.Angelic Layer - Idol Worship (Vol. 3)
Angels, Idols and Semi-Finals.
Misaki and her Angel Hikaru continue to battle their way to victory. But they have to be careful. In the Kanto Regional Games you're out after only one loss. Just one defeat and Misaki can be disqualified. But if she makes it then the next stop is the semi-finals!
First she has to go against Ringo Seto, a popular idol, and then she has to go against the Fujisaki sisters (one builds the angels while the other one pilots them). The sisters want to win at ANY cost and this mini-plot covers two episodes. After that Sai, one of the other girls she has yet to fight, tells Misaki that is would be interesting to see if she finds out Hikaru's weak point before fighting against Sai and her Angel.
The last episode is about Misaki trying to find what her weak point IS while going on a "date" with Kotaro. Was Sai just trying to freak her out or is there something she still has to work on?
Lots of action, lessons about life and great extras in the form of artwork and commentary about one of the episodes by David Williams (ADR Director) and Shelly Calene-Black (the voice of Madoka - the older Fujisaki sister). She also happens to be Mireille from "Noir", a show that has grown on me, so I was pretty pleased to hear her talk about her voice work.Angelic Layer - Idol Worship (Vol. 3)
Fun, Exciting, Cute!
I loved this latest installment of Angelic Layer. There's more exciting angel battles in store, more new friends of course, and perhaps some new romance? The mystery surrounding Misaki's mother unravels a little more in the course of these episodes. Competition is fierce, and not all Deuses play fair. When the Fujisaki sisters break the rules, all bets are off. Will Misaki and Hikaru be able to overcome this new challenge? Misaki and Kotaro spend a day together -- is it a date? Will Kotaro tell Misaki how he feels about her? All this and more are in these four exciting episodes of Angelic Layer!Angelic Layer - Idol Worship (Vol. 3)
