05/11/2012: Xeno [ Already Rated ]

Hands down, this was bizarre. It started off as a very good prequel to Second Stage and then it just got...awkward. I can't really recommend this to anyone unless you want to watch all of Initial D.

Violence/Gore: There really isn't any violence in this anime.

Nudity/Sexual Content: The second part of this OVA involve a snow retreat with the Blue Impact team and meeting boys and...well yeah. They dress somewhat inappropriately, there are some situations, and there is a detailed bath scene featuring both members of the Impact Blue.

Theological issues: There is no theology in this anime.

Other potential problems: As with the previous series, this anime is about nothing but street racing, the glory and, in some minor cases, the consequences it brings. If you are able to discern the difference between what is safe and what is not, then this should not be a problem.

Review/Rating Details: The music in these series is very take it or leave it. It's a genre of electronic dance music known as Eurobeat and it came as a melding between Jpop and Happy Hardcore. It's very self-aware of what it is, and it's not trying to save the world, but it's definitely there and can be quite overwhelming.
