Sazan aizu

After years of waiting, 3x3 Eyes arrives on DVD. This has to be one of my favorite animes of all time. Based off Yuzo Takada's long running popular manga series 3x3 Eyes (Sazan Aizu) published in 1987. If you liked Yuzo Takada's other work such as Blue Seed and All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, you'll like this one!

3x3 Eyes revolves around a girl named Pai. She belongs to an ancient race of three eyed demons called the Sajiyan-Unkara. They possessed the power of immortality. Pai is the last survivor of the Sajiyan-Unkara. She wishes to become human. But in order to become human, she must find the Staute of Humanity. With the archeologist, Professor Fuji's dying words, he tells her to travel to Japan to get help from his son Yakumo Fuji. This is where it begins.

Basically, she meets Yakumo in a very akward way. Then he gets killed saving Pai from her own pet demon, Takui. Pai uses her Sanjiyan powers to turn him immortal. He wakes up wondering why he's still alive. After realizing what happened, Yakumo embarks on a long journey in search for the Staute of Humanity, which takes them to Hong Kong. Yakumo is forced to look for a way to make Pai mortal so he can get his old life back, so that he too can also become mortal again. But he must abandon his old life for anew.

This is a very good anime. It gets better and better by the episode. The thing that makes 3x3 Eyes so great is that is has a little of everything from, drama, action, adventure, comedy, and horror. Not only is the story good, the music is too. Kaoru Wada does a great job with composing the musical score.

So if you want a bit of every genre, give 3x3 Eyes out. You won't be disappointed. Once you've done that, check out the Manga.

i recently saw this title and let me tell you, it is weird, gory, creepy, and very, very cool! this is a true horror/love story classic that redefines the term "horror." the animation was incredible, the gore is just perfect for all you blood fans, and the twisted monsters are enough to make you shit your pants! a must see for fans of dark, demon busting anime.

This is the best anime series to come from the mind of Yuzo Takada. He has created the defining element in the field of anime which represents a unique blend of varied genres...It has combined elements of action, adventure, romance, horror, and even true love! However, there exists a striking difference between the subtitled and the dubbed versions of the series. The Japanese voice actors delivered a spectacular performance and captured the youthful essence of Fujii Yakumo, Pai, Ling Ling, and the other characters of the series. The idea of the reluctant hero of Fujii Yakumo and the powerful but passive female of Pai is unique in anime and represents a new paradigm for anime. The majority of the American voice actors delivered a mediocre performance that failed to capture the raw emotional peaks and valleys of the original performance. A kudo must be given to Rebecca Forstadt whose performance of the voice of Pai was spectacular and a rare jewel to be observed. If you are a fan of anime, 3x3 Eyes is a must see for everyone.

This is a great and must watch anime for all of you anime fans. I like the movie very much and have seen it over and over again (which should give you the idea that this is no ordinary Japanese Manga). The fact which makes it amazing is hidden in the mystery which revolves around one of its main characters; a girl which looks like a teenager but actually is over three hundred years old and has great powers, revealed only when a third eye appears on her forehead. She is one of the last survivors of a long lost immortal race known as Sanjiyan. The story revolves around the girl, and her efforts in trying to find a statute with magical powers, the only key to granting her most desired wish. In her journey a boy who is bound to her destiny by fate joins in to help and assist her is a character which I will remember forever. The story takes many twists and turns and the end is worth the wait. The movie is special because it will make you laugh and cry when it wants to, characteristics of a great movie don't you think.

This five-part series is a classic Japanese anime series that centres around a young student named Yakumo Fujii, who works in a gay bar in Japan. One night, while at work, he meets a young

girl named Pai, who as it happens has been looking for him. Pai had previously been with Yakumo's father, the

late Professor Fujii, on an expedition in Tibet. As explained in the Professor's final letter to Yakumo, which Pai had on her to give to Yakumo, Pai is the last of the Sanjiyan race and she wishes to fulfil her ambition to become a human being. In order to do this, they must locate the Ningen-Nozo (the Statue Of Humanity).

A little later on that evening the city is terrorised by a fearsome, giant, winged creature named Takuhii. Yakumo escapes on his scooter, taking Pai with him. Pai, who is actually friends with Takuhii, tries to stop his attacks, but to no avail, and before long his sharp talons skewer Yakumo. Pai, however, manages to save Yakumo's life with the help of her normally-hidden third eye in her forehead

(which causes her personality to alter completely). Well, she SORT OF saves his life -- he becomes a guy that looks and acts just the same, but not only can he now not be killed by anything, but also he carries the Wu symbol on his forehead (the 'sign of the void' is how it is worded in the English dubbed version I have seen).

This complicates things for Yakumo, for now there is no escape from what his

father asked him to accomplish -- help Pai become a human, for only then will Yakumo become a mortal again...

This series is one of the best anime series I've ever seen. It's light-hearted in many places, Eddie Frierson and Rebecca Frostadt provide some more-than-commendable dubbing for the

voices of Yakumo and Pai respectively (though many of the others do brilliantly too), the story never really drags, the artwork is top-notch (as you'd expect for anime), the characters are really interesting and draw you in, the animation's pretty good even though it isn't as smooth as Western animation at the best of times, the monsters that try to stop our heroes are inspired and are the work of genius, and the music's brilliant!

Check out this series, but be warned; there is a lot of bloodshed that makes it unsuitable for children despite '3x3 Eyes' being an animated series.
