Yakumo Fuji is just your average high school student (well, not
quite, he does work in a transvestite bar! ) until he runs into Pai,
the last descendant of the mystical race known as Sanjjiyan. Pai brings
back the remains of Yakumo's missing father and she tells Yakumo of
her lifelong dream to become a human.
The pair then proceed to locate Pai's sole hope of becoming human,
The Ningen statue. First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed both parts to
this, and Pai is one of my favourite anime characters. In part one,
when Yakumo and Pai encounter supernatural forces after trying to
get hold of the statue, you're very much absorbed by what's going
on,  and
the characters (especially Pai ) are all very likeable, though it
can get a bit confusing at times. Its the same with part two, as the
pair continue to search for the statue which will make Pai a human,
running into more eerie characters and situations, the plot thickens.
As absorbing as 3x3 eyes actually is, the dubbing is a huge let down,
and you may find your self rewinding the tape at times to actually
comprehend what they're saying.
Still, this is an excellent anime series, the animation is nothing
short of stunning, and I loved the ending to part two.
Instead of buying parts one and two separately for £11.99 each, I
strongly suggest you buy the 2 in one tape for only £13.99 - after
all, it makes sense... If I had seen this subtitled, it probably would
have received a higher score, but this is still an anime series well
worth adding to your collection.
8/10 - An epic series let down only by the poor dub

Take a look at ADV's Boogiepop Phantom. With an incredibly eerie penchant
for knocking the viewer off guard, this is one anime that you'll revel
in if you love a good horror mystery...
