Maburaho Vol 7 : 2 of 5
9.28.2006 10:31 PM \| Link	I can remember when I first got hooked on this series after reading about it in Newtype, and the first DVDs were really entertaining and fun. Then about halfway through the entire feel of the show changed (thanks to the "Kazuki becomes a ghost" plotline), and it was all downhill from there. This final DVD eventually wraps up the mission to restore Kazuki to his human form, but the whole thing was pretty disappointing to me - I'm just glad it's over now so I can move on to other series! The DVD begins with focusing on Rin, since she has to restore her portion of Kazuki's ashes, but she's scared because she has heard that Kazuki will lose his memories when he regains his body. Finally, it seems like he's back (with memories intact), but suddenly collapses, and it turns out that Yuna and Chihaya (his childhood friend) still have a little to restore (they find this out by traveling inside his memories, which was one of the stupidest sequences of this whole series). At first they can't agree on what to do, but since this is the last episode they finally do fully restore Kazuki's humanity. Of course, there's no memory loss - instead there is an awful epilogue where we see that when Kazuki came back, he split into a bunch of clones! I don't think I've ever seen such a dumb ending. Even the mystery of the strange landlady is poorly releaved and fairly uninteresting. Oh well, I had a good time with the first half of the series, but I don't recommend starting it if you feel compelled to completion like me! Labels: anime, dvds
