Beautiful World is a showpiece for the pioneering anime studio on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Enlivened by rich characters, gripping action, and the inventive animation that Gainax is known for, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World is a fitting celebration of the studio’s legacy. Echoing classic anime shows such as Go Nagai’s Devil Man, as well as the studio’s own shows, such as Mahoromatic, this has been made to excite those who appreciate a subtly different take on well-known themes, a Gainax specialty. The Story: As Hikari and Takeru grow closer, Hikari begins to experience many sensations. That butterfly-like fluttering in her heart. The liquid warmth deep down inside. The urge to destroy. What’s a guy to do when he falls for a girl who just might not be all she appears to be—a girl who has a great big secret to hide? (And you thought you had relationship problems.) Well love and lust has never been deadlier or sexier than it has in this smash-hit fan favourite! Whether you prefer the bubbly joys of hot-spring cavorting cuties or the world-smashing Armageddon of a beautiful babe in attack mode, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World has something for everyone! This
Ugly Yet Beautiful World: Eye of the Beholder (RRP £19.99) is a
DVD-only release of episodes 5 to 8, presented in 16:9 anamorphic
widescreen, with both English and Japanese 2.0 audio with English
subtitles. Extras include: copious translator notes; Metamorphose Music
Video; Japanese Promotional Video; clean opening & closing animations;
and ADV previews. |
