Princess Resurrection OVA #03 — Future Back Problems

October 14th, 2011

 

Those aren’t breasts. They’re a weight training device for reaching Super Maid II.

Oops. This was out yesterday. I really need to pay more attention to OVA schedules. I’m aware of Saber Alter’s Carnival Phantasm debut at least.

Impressions:

Like the other two, this was just a random chunk of the story already in progress without any real introduction to the (plethora of) new characters and the like. Not ideal, but it’s certainly a refreshing change of pace from having every goddamned thing listed and spelled out… at length. This picks up with Sherwood’s disappearance on the island and goes to the end of Sylvie and Hime’s fight after figuring out the secret of Witch Mountain. …And then punching the mountain in the eye using a giant robot. Even for this series, that could have used a little… um… work, shall we say.

Neither of the past two episodes were particularly cohesive either though. However, it was definitely a huge letdown in production and action from the train episode last time. Sylvie and Hime’s fight especially didn’t come anywhere close to the chainsawing, sword boomeranging, or just Reiri being Reiri. Hell, Reiri was barely even hanging around (nyuk nyuk) at all this week. Hime and Sylvie exchanged a few blows, stabbed each other in the shoulder, and then a convenient shockwave knocked Sylvie into the ravine. She had to make things worse too by tossing up the most cliched line possible as she fell. Come on, Tatsunoko. Pull it together. You did such a great job with this last time. This was just bad.

6 Shouts From the Peanut Gallery

  • Chen says:

    I like how they either have gigantic breasts or a flat chest. I noticed Horizon is also guilty of this.

    (I’m in camp A for the record, or J to be more accurate.)

  • S.C. says:

    I hate this series. To say that the main character lacked balls or to call him a pussy is a severe understatement. I can’t think of any show who had a more pathetic protagonist.

    • DmonHiro says:

      You’re kidding, right?
      Off the top of my head: Kanokon & Maken-Ki.
      If you give me half an hour I’m sure I can come up with 10 more. At least Hiro has SOME use, if only as a shield. And at least he DOES something, unlike other “protagonists”. He still sucks though… you’d think that being practically IMMORTAL would do something for your badass levels.

    • Nan says:

      Oddly enough, this is part of what I like about the series, over time he actually starts getting increasingly competent and useful. It’s a slow progression, but it happens more and more. Character improvement is always nice.

  • dosetsu says:

    What is this… Either I’m dumb, or none of this actually happened in the manga. I don’t remember any of it.

  • Anon says:

    I dont think it happened in the manga, the only time I can recall them getting in a Inn it turned out to be a murder mystery.

    I dont recall ever being a a Osen chapter.

    Also Hiro turns to be a badass in the future (since we have chapters that take place in the future), he is aware of his own shortcomings.
