DNAngel vol. 3

Review
The disc starts off with an episode centered around With, DNAngel's cute little mascot. He meets a female rabbit at the window of a pet store and takes a liking to her and soon after Daisuke notices With is nowhere to be found. Riku goes with Daisuke around town to help him out with his love sick "rabbit." It's basically filler, but it's not bad and has some good scenes between Daisuke and Riku.

Daisuke goes with his grandpa and Risa to a house to retrieve an instrument his grandpa attempted to steal when Dark shared his body. But when Daisuke touches the violin case, some strange power from the violin sends him back in time while Dark is left in the present. There, he sees his grandpa as Dark trying to steal the violen case and, in the meantime, Dark is in the real world tring to bring Daisuke back.

Hiwatari returns after a short absence and is out to capture Dark once again. Daisuke's father finally shows up after being away for 12 years and gives Daisuke a replica of the next item he needs to steal - The Rutile of Grief. This item draws out the powers of it's holder and allows Daisuke's father to act as a shield against Hiwatari's attacks. Unfortionately, Hiwatari is holding on to the real Rutile of Grief which allows Krad to take over his body, who is Hiwatari's inner power.

This series has been pretty good so far, even if it is a little filler-ish at times.
