DVD Review: Di Gi Charat Nyo! Vol. #8

[Chris Beveridge]

Review

In Summary:
I hate to admit it, but I actually had some hope after the seventh volume of the series since I thought that maybe Piyoko and the Gang could tilt the show back a little bit in a direction I’d like. That unfortunately hasn’t happened and what we get here is pretty much what has come before but with an even bigger cast now. The addition of the Gang is welcome though since that add a bit more colorful “dark” diversity to it by being poor bad guys, but by and large this volume is really just more of the same that we saw in the first six volumes. It has some cute moments but mostly it’s a series of gags that run too long and without enough to really hold onto the viewer, especially in a collected form like this.

Cute characters I'm sure... but not a series I'm interested in. There's so much I need to spend money for already that I don't have any other to spare. Also, it seems like this is a series that while cute, I've seen in some other form so to someone who has seen many shows before, something that has been done before. Not my type of show in the end.

Waiting for a boxset... No way I'm buying all of these singles.
