Venus Versus Virus







Taking advantage of F.Y.E. (a video store) and it's 50% off sale is fun! I picked up volume one of an anime called Venus Versus Virus since I've had a friend tell me it was awesome. I was quite surprised to find it since it's an ADVFilms release and they've been gone for quite a while now.

I'll be back with thoughts of the first four episodes as a whole. If you already know this series, discuss all you want.

Watched it for years. I love both the opening and ending of it (the ending more than the opening though). If I remember correctly I did liked this anime, but I hated the end.

Yeah, my friend hated the ending too. Is it really THAT bad? ^_^; Don't answer that.



Luu Sky Sapphire reviews Venus Versus Virus volume 1:

Venus Versus Virus or "Triple V" as I came to call it, is a very cute series. Sure it has creepy monsters (referred to as Viruses), but my focus is on our main heroines. Lucia Nahashi, the stone faced Venus Vanguard leader is adorable and so badass. She leads a group that wants to destroy every single Virus monster that only certain people can see. Enter Sumire Takahana, your cliche sweet girl with the ability to see Viruses too. For some reason beyond my understanding she has a Berserker power whenever exposed to the substance that hurts Viruses (which Lucia uses as bullets for her revolver).

Keep in mind that I only have four episodes and so far it feels VERY episodic with it's monsters-of-the-day ala Mai-HiME and Sailor Moon. I don't have a problem with this personally, so there's no points taken off. Sumire is a very sweet girl and Lucia is awesome to watch in action. Sumire has emotional investment at the moment since she's treated like a lab rat (because of the Berserker ability) by her friends. I'd like to think they're doing it for her own good until they get some answers. As a viewer, I want more answers soon too.
