First of all, this is a sequel series. It's the sequel to 'Knight Hunters', which was actually a good series. The first series is about this group of assassins called Weiss -- Aya, Yohji, Ken, and Omi -- who during the daytime run a flowershop, and in the night take on missions to assassinate evil people.
Get that series first, anyhow.
If you liked Knight Hunters at all, don't buy this. The first 2 volumes of Knight Hunters Eternity weren't bad (or maybe just the 1st volume), but here it gets crazy. The new characters don't get much of a stand, and the old 4 characters are horrible. Yohji, who was an all right guy in the last one, is suddenly crazy and obsessed with his old girlfriend and partner, Asuka (who died). He was obsessed before, but now he's seeing her ghost and he acts really weird. Ken, who was so nice in the last series, is now rather insane and violent. Omi is almost like he was before, except perhaps more helpless and less cute. Aya, actually, has changed for the better, being less rash and somewhat smarter.
Still, when 3/4 of the characters are worse than before, it's hard to accept. The art change isn't bad, by the way; it may be nicer art than the last set (although the change of design is weird).
With the first few episodes of this series I figured it was going all right, but then it got depressing. I don't know if the author decided he hated his characters or what, but it's not fun to watch.
In the end, I don't recommend this at all. Stick with Knight Hunters, and if you finished that, check out a few different things; s-CRY-ed, Fushigi Yuugi, PeaceMaker, or D.N.Angel.
If you liked the music, definitely get Knight Hunters (WeiA Kreuz) Best Album. |
