Mania Grade: B
* Age Rating: 13 and Up
* Region: All Region DVD
* Released By: FUNimation Entertainment, Ltd.
* Running time: 25
* Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Widescreen
* Disc Resolution: 480i/p
* Disc Encoding: MPEG-2
* Series: El Cazador De La Bruja
In Summary:
El Cazador continues to have really appealing background and setting designs, the characters look great and flow well and the music is of course excellent and appealing. Even after hearing it in variations (great and small) over the years in other shows, the music is still very much something that feels wonderful to hear. But when it comes to the show itself, some of the energy that I felt in the first episode comes across as largely dissipated here in the second because of the story chosen with which to move things forward. If there was more of a connection to the larger story to tie all of this into, rather than just a little drama of the week piece, it’d flow better and keep my attention more. But as it stands, it’s the kind of episode that makes take a step back and wonder how long it’ll keep my attentions overall.
