EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Tweekums The title of this show pretty much says it all; the series of twelve episodes, each four minutes long follows the misadventures of four bikini-clad warriors. They are Mage, Fighter, Paladin and Dark Elf and they must face a variety of foes/dilemmas in a typical fantasy world.Given the shortness of the episodes it isn't surprising that there isn't much in the way of plot; each story is just an excuse to put the girls in more awkward sexual situations. One might think that their bikinis would serve to keep them vaguely decent but they are so small they only serve to emphasise the indecency. There is no real depth to the characters; they are just there to be ogled. The series isn't without its merits; it has some amusing moments… the best being in the opening episode where they learn the difference between bikinis and bikini armour. The animation isn't bad given that it is just a series of shorts. The final episode hints at more to come but whether this is just another joke remains to be seen. Overall I can't really recommend this but it isn't as terrible as I'd expected.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
