Eden's Bowy - Hot Pursuit (Vol. 2)
Episode 6: The Enemies Under There:
The team, having no food, is getting hungry enough to imagine each other as fish. The three bicker until their enemies from Yanueas nearly catch them and a melee ensues. The old man fights them off until a missile from Eurgoha breaks them all up. Not much of consequence happened this time.
Episode 7: The Puppets' Place:
Seeking refuge from a howling sandstorm, the team enter an abandoned cathedral. Unfortunately, it is full of haunted puppet parts that try to absorb the team and it's explained how the floating cities did the previous inhabitants wrong, causing their trapped emotions to linger well past their deaths. Can the team survive an onslaught?
Episode 8: Goodbye, Elisiss:
Yorn, thinking he's causing too much danger to his young female friend, sends her away after they are once again attacked, by the teams from both cities. Internal politics impact the Eden's which show a decidedly different approach to the God Hunter's future.
Episode 9: Hairra Dies
Both representatives from Yanueas and their robot have to fight Hairra/Hera to claim Yorn. Yorn, fed up with the constant pursuit, gets angry enough to manifest his God Hunter powers and the result is frightening to all.
Episode 10: Farewell, Light Of Younger Days:
The story shifts once more to look at Hairra's past as her keeper attempts to rebuild her. Lots of background on the supporting characters here.
Picture: The picture was presented it's original 1.33:1 ratio full frame and was very clear. The colors were accurate and any minor problems with the picture were barely noticeable. I didn't see many compression artifacts.
Sound: The sound was presented in Dolby Digital stereo with a choice of 5.1 English, English with song subtitles, or the original Japanese with English subtitles. The vocals and music were very clear and solidly produced. I actually liked the Japanese track better this time but each had it's own merits. I did notice one funny thing in the second episode here, the subtitles started appearing on the English track and would pop on and off at regular intervals.
Extras: trailers, clean opening and closing sequence, and a paper insert with art
Final Thoughts: I hope the next volume is better than this one. While it was worth watching once or twice, the show didn't have much replay value as so many other anime releases from ADV Films does and that's a shame. Much of the time, it seemed like the show was lowering its aim towards a much younger crowd but I doubt even that crowd would appreciate it much. While Volume 1 showed some potential, this one just didn't live up to it. A fan of the original told me it'll pick up again soon so I'll wait to pass judgment on the series as a whole.
