Review

This volume is just a perfect example of how to do good characterisations. We get real motivations, which produces the before, during and after effects of any plot decisions. And this is what engages the emotions when you watch it; you know why Brandon can’t kill Harry; you know why Harry can kill Brandon. And you understand what each means to the other.

Although not as much action as previous volumes this disc nonetheless moves the story along in leaps and bounds, almost bringing us up to date with the first episode.

It just keeps getting better with every new volume release… I want more! (Anime-On-DVD)
