In Summary:


While for the most part serving up more of the same, Viewtiful Joe vol. 7 continues with the series’ staple humor and clever one-liners in the continuing story of Joe’s search for his girlfriend Sylvia. Throughout its run to this point, this series has been more about seemingly random fun than about establishing or building on the series mythos and overall plotline. However, with this volume, things are mixed-up a bit, as the creators explore different episode tones and offer just enough subtle suggestions and bits of foreshadowing to hint at answers for some of the series’ fundamental questions, while raising new ones. While there are some problems, particularly with the jittery transfer (in some close-up scenes, Joe’s goatee sometimes looks like it’s actually going to curl), this volume does a great job of maintaining the humor while giving the viewer just enough information to pique their interest.

They should really release this series bilingual. I'd buy it.
