Put these up for a friend, figured I might as well share here before the yousendit links expire.
3x3 Eyes first OAV series
Episode I: Pai (link)(alternate link)(alternate alternate link)
Episode II: Yakumo (link)(alternate link)
Episode III: Sacrifice (link)()alternate link)
The quality of episode I (ripped from the dub VHS) is terrible, but II and III are decent. Anyway!
( Summary )
Three by Three Eyes has a stong Hindu bent, although this is less obvious in the anime than in the manga. The series is extremely violent, often funny, and can be disturbing in a "tentacle monster" kind of way. The first OAV seres, as a whole, is rushed -- makes sense when you remember the producer had to fit many volumes of manga into only a few direct-to-video episodes -- but the unusually fast pacing of the first episode is deliberate, I think. Yakumo must think events are unfolding too quickly, too!
I'm still VERY UPSET with Dark Horse for dropping the English manga release a few years ago. Of course the sales were poor, you released half-length volumes for $15.95! I really, really want someone to pick this up for re-release in the current industry standard (unflipped, ~200 pages, $10), but I doubt it will happen.
This has been a good month for old series/zombie series love. XD
