MiniReview

The story line in 3x3 Eyes is excellent, it flows smoothly and well connected altogether. It kind a make sense when you really believe there is a young girl with 3 eyes, who can eat up someone's soul and wish to get rid of her supernatural power to become human. Otherwise it would be a tale about some young kids looking for a status throughout the whole series. But hey, what do you expect? It's anime man! All about our imagination! ;)

The arts in 3x3 is just amazing! It is hard to believe that this is a 10 years old animation! All characters were drew in detail, and Pai looks exceptionally cute in the second series. As to our main character Yakumo, he looks more like a bystander on series one than a main character. Basically he did not do anything special in the first whole series except being killing by the demons again and again, then, regenerate himself hehe... However, things looks way better on the second series: Legend of the Divine Demon. You will expect a lot more fighting and even more blood.

Although everything is great in 3x3 Eyes, the only thing missing is the music. There is really not enough great music or sound track presented in the first and second series. The only two tracks that caught my attention was, "Zankoku na shinjitsu (The Cruel Truth) : Theme of Love" and the "Yasashisa, arigatou (Gently, Thank You) :Concerto for Love". The melody of these songs are nice, and yet sad as well. The rest of the tracks are acceptable, most of them have a sad or creepy tune. Therefore, don't expect some great music on this anime.

Overall, this is a great animation. I like 3x3 Eyes, and i like it even more after seeing the Legend of the Divine Demon. However, the ending is kind a bad, or should i say... there is no ending! Why? You are to find out! But i really hope there will be a 3x3 Eyes third series to complete the... incomplete "ending"!

Story

Yakumo Fujii was just like any other 16-year-old Japanese high school student. Well, his father did disappear in Tibet four years ago while searching for a legendary race of three-eyed beings, and Yakumo was forced to take a job as a "waitress" in a gay bar to support himself. But that was nothing compared to the strange girl Yakumo literally ran into one day on the way to work. She called herself Pai, and she carried a letter that Yakumo's father wrote just before he died. The note claimed that Pai was the last of the three-eyed race Prof. Fujii had spent his life searching for, a race with the power of eternal youth, the Sanjiyan Unkara.

Of course, Yakumo did not believe in monsters, and Pai certainly didn't look like a supernatural creature. In fact, she was kind of cute. But if monsters didn't really exist, then what was this huge man-faced bird that was suddenly rampaging through the streets of Shinjuku? Pai claimed the monster was Takuhi, her pet, but it looked to Yakumo like it was going to kill her. As he shoved her out of the monster's path and felt its talons rip into his own chest, he thought he was dead for sure. What happened next must have been a dream, but before he blacked out it looked like Pai really did have a third eye!The next morning, he woke up uninjured, but a symbol ("Wu", meaning "nothingness") had unexplicably appeared on his forehead.

Yakumo soon learned the truth. His body was now an undead shell; he could feel pain but could not be permanently injured, and even missing limbs seemed to magically regenerate. Yakumo's existance was now inextricably tied to Pai's, and so they set out together on a quest to become human. Many demonic creatures are seeking Pai and her power to grant immortality, and a long, hard road lies ahead for Pai and Yakumo. However, Pai has a great deal of strength beneath her youthful exterior. Yakumo soon realizes his feelings for her are deeper than he imagined. He will always fight to protect the girl he loves.
