There is a great story hiding here. Still, what plays out is far less than what Nabari had started with. It just isn't fulfilling on any level save for Miharu and Yoite's relationship. This was once the series' greatest point of intrigue, but at the cost of every other plot development, it's hard to make us care about it anymore.
The only unique trait of this short series, it seems, is its basis on an American comic franchise—as opposed to other Japanese manga where the authors have to come up with their uninspired dreck all by themselves.
It really should have ended something like four volumes ago, but even so Monkey High! remains an enjoyable entry in its chosen genre. A flawed and fun little conclusion to a flawed and fun little series.
Tokyo Majin does not know how to tell a comprehensible story. What it thankfully does know how to do is put on a wild, bloody show. Emotionally, the series hits some very effective highs, but it's necessary to keep your brain switched off to get any enjoyment out of the overall result.
Yeah, this series about a girl-

20th Century Boys 1 (live action) DVD
Rather than a film, a chain of filmed events: an exercise in base narrative that drains the life from a lot of fine scenes before hanging them in a line like butchered beeves in a warehouse. Cool ending, though.

Gunslinger Girl OVA DVD
This DVD is largely forgettable, for completionists only, but will certainly satisfy fans who wanted to see more of Guise and Jean's souls laid bare…along with their chests in the beach scenes. At the very least, it's a harmless excursion for the story.

This is a series that doesn't really go anywhere, and it doesn't have to. It's fine exactly where it is.

Kaze no Stigma DVD part 2
Somewhat surprisingly, the second half of this series about elemental magic users actually steps up its game a notch, thanks largely to improved writing and more fan service. While it should never be mistaken for a quality series, it at least does okay.

It is never, ever a good sign when the mangaka herself admits that she “kinda failed at this series.” How do you dispute her own good judgment?
