Manic Expression

"Into the Valley of the Dolls."

So I decided to review another Studio Bee Train installment, since I haven't done so very often; that's right...two Bee Train entries, back to fucking back! XD

However, unlike my slight elation for Murder Princess, Avenger gets very little 'sympy' from yours truly! My goodness, was this 13-episode melodrama a chore to sit through! More details in the review itself.

Note: I forgot to physically mention how good (and atmospheric) the soundtrack was during the review, since Sony Vegas went through its damn PMS-cycle of freezing and crashing.

Also, there might be some minor glitching in a few of the clips; rarely does this occur, but it doesn't detract from the review itself. Also, toward the end, I mention how Volk is Layla's uncle, but due to the above reason I didn't physically mention how Cross (also known as Ares) and he are brothers (and the fact Layla is Cross's daughter). So yeah, context much?

I am not going to lie, I just got hooked on your series. Its a funny look into great and terrible animated features. Your a very entertaining guy.

PS
Has anyone ever told you that you kind of look like a macho jewwario

LOL, wow...thanks so much, Other Dude (nice name, by the way :D). I appreciate the praise and newfound support!

Yeah, I aim to deliver a balance of insight and entertainment (and other things, too XD) in my reviews.

As for looking like a 'Macho Jewwario'...you're the first person to ever say that. LOL! Usually, people tell me I look like Kurt Cobain or someone else with long hair; I give you props for being original in that regard!

Man! This one really pissed you off LB. This little show does look bad though. What with the plot holes, empty and bland characters, and even setting, but it looked like it had SOME potential to be good. A shame it wasn't though.

Hey there, Sydney! Thanks a bunch for commenting; I appreciate it.

With the good ideas, it makes one wonder if this was not rushed out or suffered from production issues. It may have been something they couldn't quite pin down as well, but went ahead anyway. Good review

Thanks a lot, man! I really appreciate it; I too am disappointed in this series.
