An Acquired Taste

"As my title states, Orphen season 2 is an acquired taste. If you've seen season one you will notice a HUGE difference in animation and plot (story surfaces only in the second DVD). However, Orphen season 2 is remarkably good. The humor is actually funny and considering the dark feel of season one it's a refreshing change. In this DVD you'll see Magic dress as a woman (complete with demeanor and softened voice). There is also a Titanic pseudo-parody: a sinking ship, lowered lifeboats and a captain that looks like he was on the James Cameron film. Don't expect a sappy love story because Cleo does something to Orphen that's not nice: funny but not nice. The dialogue is far more entertaining in English than in Japanese (Like when Volken tells Orphen :"The 80's called, they want their cloths back") The main story is an interesting one although not much is divulged. Get it for the humor, if nothing else."
