Girls Bravo – Volume 2 (Animé TV)
Picture: C+
Sound: C+ Extras: C Episodes: C+
Girls Bravo returns with another volume of
storytelling just barely over its nudity, despite the ever-oversimplistic
scripts. The boy/girls cutesy
relationship melodrama goes on unabated and is going to be of interest to those
who enjoyed the first volume. If you
have not seen the beginning, start there.
The titles that follow should give you an idea of the series’ approach:
5 - 6) Bravo On A Rainy Day!
(In two parts)
7) Look For The Groom Bravo!
8) Lots Of Bravo!
The male lead still has supposed fear of girls, but the
show is not smart enough to do enough with that, because it is too busy being
silly. The addition of girls from other
planets is just wacky, but par for the course in Animé and fans may enjoy
it. The second time here was not as
interesting, but it was consistent.
The full frame 1.33 X 1 image is passable, with some good
color, but also the tendency of too many Animé titles to purposely be out of
focus-looking and soft. The Dolby
Digital 2.0 Stereo has no surrounds in either Japanese or English. The few extras include three Geneon Animé
previews, two text-free endings, and another Line Art section.
