Cyberteam in Akihabara vol. 3 | |
|
Review A new girl arrives in Akihabara and just like everyone else she has a PataPi. Tsubame's PataPi has the ability to transform into a diva, too. She hasn't joined the cyberteam though because she is recieving orders from the Rosenkreutz, the group responsible for the Cyberteam's troubles so far. Things get more serious for the Cyberteam as the same enemies get new, improved fighting toys. The ladies with the big breasts are back even after they were told on the previous disc that they didn't have anymore chances. They've come equipped with new armor-like suits that actually work as weapons. The cyberteam has a rough time with them, but the new girl saves them with her powerful diva. However, later on, she begins to attack their divas with her own and the cyberteam has no idea that she is the one fighting them. Then an episode is dedicated to showing the past of some of the members of the Rosenkreutz and how many things ended up the way they are now. These scenes are done in black and white with it taking place in America at the beginning of the 20th century. Crane, a boy of just 16 is an inventor and he meets two men from the Rosenkreutz secret society who tell him they want to make a new future for mankind. He developed the divas but, disappointed with mankind's foolishness and fearing they would use them as weapons he takes the divas with him to space. Overall, it's quite interesting and it helps explain much of what has been going on, but most of the episode is a just the characters standing around talking. The new character is a nice addition as she sets a twist on things, but most of the show just isn't working for me. I've found the comedy to be hit or miss, but now that things have gotten more serious there isn't as much of it. Even fans of the magical girl genre will be hard-pressed to find much to enjoy with this show. It's not awful, but it's far from great. Extras
