Movie Reviews of Tweeny Witches 2: Through the Looking Glass (2pc)
Movie Review: Arusu finds magic book and her mirror
Summary: 4 Stars
If you haven't seen the first DVD, be aware that I might mention some spoilers in this review. You have been warned!
In the previous DVD, Arusu, Sheila and Eva joined Sigma to find the warlocks' world. Sigma, however, also has ulterior motives to grab the magic book from them to give to the warlocks. The magical world is disappearing, and the magic book would give the warlocks the power of dark magic.
Sigma's technological underground home of metal, electronics and flying machines, is a culture shock. It's almost unfair that the warlocks have this much power. Sheila is awfully glum about the future of the witches' home, and whether Arusu is doing the right thing by saving fairies. Thus, Sheila sends Arusu on a ship to the human world. However, Arusu is in for a shock when she meets a pirate who claims that he is Arusu's mirror. For some reason, he has the book...
I kept most of the details pretty vague, but this series still has many questions to be answered. Arusu mentions the story of Alice, who travels to Wonderland through a magic mirror. Still, it must be strange for Arusu to deal with some guy who keeps saying that he's her mirror. But the emotional tension remains high in this anime, and that's a good thing.
I also enjoyed watching Sheila, who is (thank goodness) starting to question the authority of the warlocks and the witches. Sheila is also spying on her elder witches, to see who is double-crossing them.
And far more mysterious events occur as well. Witches suddenly die for causes that are completely unknown. And the warlocks take their biggest step to try and capture Arusu and the magic book.
This is one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2008. The series hasn't disappointed me yet. While this series is definitely more for kids, based on the storybook style colors and drawings, the action is still intense. There are plenty of magic battles in this volume. And the voice acting is incredible. In fact, there's even a special feature which shows that this is one of the first anime series in which the voice acting was performed before the animation. Maybe this is why the acting performances are so strong in this anime, compared to other anime series.
If you love shojo (girl's) anime, then you definitely cannot pass up on the Tweeny Witches (or Mahou no Shoujo Arusu in Japanese).
By the way, the other special feature shows the animation trailer for the series which they pitched to their producers and the trailer for the finished product. I'd have to say that the final product looks far better than their initial trailer.
