Title: Hotsuma's Reviews: DUAL! Paralell trouble adventure
Post by: ~~~~Closed~~~~ on April 08, 2004, 07:14:09 AM
I really wanted to like Dual! alot more than I did. but alas, I couldn't. at first glance though Dual! appears to be a very promising series. it focuses around Kazuke, a high school kid who after being sucked into another universe, is forced to live with 4 other wemon. sound familiar? well it would if you've ever seen any of the Tenchi series. not to mention theat kazuke is a Tenchi clone.
The series, again like Tenchi, is funny. unlike tenchi however, Dual! is only funny for 1-2 episodes. because it wears itself out after then and uses the same gags over, and over, and over. the action is enjoyable too, once again only for a few episodes. because it uses the same fights over and over. the plot...well it does the same thing so I'll save you from my description.
it's gett--almost forgot...it has the dreaded filler episode...be warned.
2/5

sounds like many things coming out of japan these days... Same content, same plot devices... seems like their whole artistic section is going the way of the egyptians... and if you don't get what I mean just have a look at as many Egyptian Frescos as you can find...

Dual! however, isn't new, it's sevral years old. it was riding the wave of the harem/comedy fad.

key word here: Fad

A fad is like a low-grade, commercialist, out-in-the-open conspiracy...
