Reviews for Boogiepop Phantom - Boxed Set (Evolutions 1-4)

Amazon.com
After a mysterious column of light rises over a city in Japan, strange things begin occurring: a rash of serial killings and suicides, kids developing weird powers, and the appearance of the Angel of Death as "Boogiepop Phantom." Based on the novels of Kohei Kadono, this gothic sci-fi adventure apes the visual style of Serial Experiments Lain, but its fragmented story is both confused and confusing. There are lots of grisly visuals: one boy sees "spiders" on people's hearts, captures them, and devours them; a child dressed as the Pied Piper lures unhappy teenagers into killing themselves; a disappointed musician slashes her wrists at the piano. But there's little coherent plot to support these events. The weird manifestations are the product of biomedical experiments into the future of human evolution and a mysterious creature referred to as "the Manticore." The hokey dialogue panders to teen-age angst with such self-conscious pseudo-profundities as "Why are we all alive? We all die." Director Takashi Watanabe abandons the rollicking comedy of Slayers for derivative monochromatic artwork, sepia-toned imagery (often so dark it's difficult to see what's going on), processed live-action footage and actions repeated four or five times in a single episode. As the fragmented story stumbles along to its indecisive conclusion, the flashy editing and artsy visuals become more and more about less and less. (Rated 15 and older: considerable violence, grotesque imagery, minor profanity) --Charles Solomon


From the Back Cover
Darkness within the Light, and the sky on fire. In the darkness, you are not safe. On the other side of the door is danger. Up in the skies is a rainbow that isn't. You are kept company only by your own fear. Boogiepop... Few even believe that Boogiepop exists in this enlightened are: it's usually more like an urban myth used to frighten the ignorant. Anyway, more frightening things than Boogiepop actually did exist... at least, they did five years ago. A serial killer held the city in fear, slashing and murdering seemingly at random. Then, without ever catching them, they stopped. Then came the flash of light in the darkness. A momentary glitch. For some, panic and death stalked the streets again. The shadow had a face. Boogiepop. But she is not the only one.


Description
Get all twelve episodes on four discs in this special DVD Collector's Set! Plus, this multipack set also comes with a BONUS AUDIO DISC featuring the Boogiepop Version of Richard Wagner's "Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg" Overture!

Five years ago, a string of grisly murders shook the city to its core and now the rumors have begun once more. Boogiepop ... Everyone knows about Boogiepop: meet her one dark night and you are taken. People tell each other the stories and laugh: no one believes that she can possibly exist in this day and age.

Still, strange things appear to be going on just and the darkness is taking on many forms. Something is out there. Are you safe?
