3X3 Eyes is the story of a young man named Yakumo Fuuji, who through a strange series of events becomes the immortal slave of the last of a race of 3 Eyed immortals. The immortal absorbs his soul to save his life, making him immortal in the process. Now, he begins a journey with the female immortal in an attempt to find a way of becoming human. Of course, there are many complications along the way, not the least of which being that the immortal is a female with a split personality, one achingly cute and the other being no-nonsense destructive power, and the romances that develop between.
Can I just say that as a 90's baby, this is so amazing to me. I remember watching it the first time and not understanding it but I still loved it. And I kept rewatching to understand until of course I got my hands on the manga. Then it hit me how complex this story and anime is, it's not everyones taste and I dont expect it to be but for it is.
because its only 4 OVAS and not enough story was processed within the limit of the episodes it only covers 2 volumes. People may be disappointed by it, but fear not if you didnt like the anime its up to the their own choice. For me who is a big fan of this show cant express what it did for me, I really enjoyed the OVAS it had the feeling of the 90's in it the animation to the music what not.
For me It was a story of complete 180 turnaround, Yakumo who through a strang process ends up immortal due to a eccentric and very strong girl called Pai who by the way is so cute. I think its adorable the way the two main interacted, Yakumo in the end gave up alot in order to help Pai become human and himself too. Lets just say it was heartwarming adventure they make a lot of enemies and friends along the way and there is so much tragic in the actual story that its blinding.
The manga deciphers this show so well that I can't express how much I want people to read it, you will not regret it. It explains in full on how and what Yakumo and Pai's relationship is in total its a like a whole new world. (no not like aladdin and jasmine) but even more amazing they are like starbound together that it hurts. Its a long process of a journey they fall against the story is so well developed to me that its missing so much in the animation.
The OST is a must to get I think its so well thought out of course, its a typical old style based music. Along with the art which is old fashioned but it works so well with the colour palette too.
So if anything you must read the manga to understand completely what the show is about! Do not rely on OVAS to complete this, its frustrating to me how people dont understand, for me its a show with a quick insight of the actual story that develops in the manga. So if you havent read it you must do so. I dont want to go so much into detail about it because it ruins it but I will tell you the monsters look strange and there are some real strange appearances too of things in the story. Its a mixture of a lot of sweet, dangerous and evil lots of evil its such an indulgence into a really good manga.
I shall leave with some songs
