Movie Review: Modeling and the High Price of Exposure
Summary: 5 Stars

The DevilLady revolves around Jun, a rather beautiful fashion model that has an indescribable "something" about her, making her seem different when the camera is focused upon her and those beautifully mysterious eyes. Despite her success, however, everything is far from perfect in her life. Even as a child she has found herself feeling very different from everyone else, like she really didn't belong, making her feel very much alone. Now she seems discontent with the work that had sated her for so long, finding everything except her friendship with a high-school aged model without purpose. This all changes rather suddenly as she finds herself being followed by a blonde-haired woman on night, one that finally comes to her at home rather suddenly and, in a very life-altering manner, explains the duality in every personality and a bit about a gene that has allowed a further step to take place in the evolutionary ladder. This leads Jun to a startling revelation about herself and the beast within her, showing her just how different she really is and what that could possibly mean to the salvation of mankind.

Without really going into the individual pieces themselves (for fear of spoilers), all of the episodes revolve around the concept of becoming and hunting that which has lost the spark called the human soul while making time to remember Jun and the horror she feels. This is what makes the series complete, the feelings trapped within the shell that is becoming something far more than human, something more powerful as each transformation begins, that wants so much to keep itself tethered to humanity and at least one person it loves. Combine this with the characterization added to Jun and a support "cast" that manages to stand out from the background, plus the questions posed to Jun becoming more complex as time marches on, and you'll see that The DevilLady has the ability to increase in sometimes drastic proportions and make a very enjoyable beginning to a series.
