    Venus Versus Virus

    Promo by umai

    Luchia is an exterminator of Virus, the demon that eats men’s souls. When the needle of Luchia’s brooch happens to stick a psychic girl Sumire, she obtains strange power to see demons. Since then, demons begin to attack Sumire as if they were attracted by her power.

    Yes, it does look interesting. And i've heard stuff about it too. Guess I'll just have to wait to find out.

    Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

    GNU is a decent group if memory servers, although my memory isn't of the most trustworthy kind, but I always find dubious h264 encodes stuffed into an avi container. I'm feeling a slight urge to wait and see if a more orthodox release is going to appear.

    My only problem with the GNU episode was the audio was rather quiet.

    As for the episode itself, it was a typical pilot episode. It didn't really grab me, but I'll say I'm at least interested. They didn't really explain anything, but at least it gives us something to look forward to. After seeing it briefly in the OP, I would have been really disappointed if they didn't show Sumire going into berserker mode.

    It's a goth loli show where the lead has an eyepatch. Kinda hard for me to not watch at least for a while.

    First episode was somewhat acceptable. I mean... they just threw us against Virus from the very beginning, while I was expecting an introductory episode of how Sumire came to work with Ruchia. I guess that will be shown as flashback in several episodes.

    Nevertheless, I'll keep watching just because the character design is good and the story has potential.

    Sumire in berserk mode looks awesome.

    I must agree with Ryl on this one. Gothish outfit, quasi-loli, eyepatch, even blue hair...this show is clearly stimulating my old Ryomou addiction in anticipation of Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny so I had to check it out. The missing words and other errors in the subs we're annoying but the story seems to have enough potential to be good.

    Somehow I felt like I had seen this all before...

    Well, I might keep watching this just because of Ruchia's different coloured eyes. That always intrigues me. Otherwise I was really surprised we didn't see any introduction whatsoever. Like RyougaZell I was expecting them to start by showing how Sumire joins the company, and thus I was somewhat disappointed with this manner of launch.

    Hmmm...
    Sumire is a normal girl who sees what others can't...
    Ruchia comes into her life and gives her a mean to fight Virus, who are "dead people" who hunt the living.

    Ichigo is a normal boy who sees what others can't
    Rukia comes into his life and gives him a mean to fight Hollows, who are "dead people" who hunt the living.

    Do I see a pattern? Even the name...

    Need more?
    Berselk Sumire... Hollow Ichigo.

    LOL!!!
    Still I'll check out new episodes just because, like I said before, I like the character design.

    The whole thing is very boring to me, and I can't stand listening to the VAs. I don't think I'll give this series much of a chance.

    Well, we've pretty much got the entire premise here in E1. I hope there's more substance.

    The viruses are drooling perverts...

    Episode 2 - GNU

    I think this episode was much better than the first one, for two reasons: It explained some history, and also it had generous amounts of Berserk Sumire. Yet still, this show has yet to really impress me.

    It probably wont impress you ever. It is kind of mediocre, but not really bad in any major way. I hope they make berserk Sumire much much more scary, since right now, she doesnt seem like such a bad girl, or maybe im just weird.

    Episode 3 - GNU-Shinsen

    I'm still not sure if this series is bad or not. A lot of it seems really mediocre, but the result of this episode was something different. There's not any "exorcism" in this series, it's a little darker than average.

    At least this episode kept me interested for a while longer.

    The next episode will finally tell how Lucia and Sumire met, according to the preview. It's certainly something I wanted to learn.

    Episode 2 was interesting, showing insight about Berserk Sumire.
    Episode 3 was somewhat predictable, but I think they managed it ok.

    I hope Episode 4 is good... it will mark, for me, if its a good series or just a regular one. Still... I'll keep watching just to see more Berserk Sumire.
