Synopsis
An ambitious series that bears a striking resemblance to 'Lain', 'Boogiepop Phantom' is no less fascinating, and certainly, in many ways, takes that series' concept to another level. Taking place in a bizarre alternate universe, Boogiepop is a shady organisation that protects the world from supernatural menace that materialises in the form of a young girl clad in a yin-yang cloak. The series begins with the disappearance of some high school students, the discovery of a young man who sees people's regrets as spiders and can eat them, and the appearance of a detective who tries to tie the strands of these mysteries together. Includes the entire series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very clever and interesting series, 7 Mar 2007
By Killbetter (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
I can't remember what made me buy this series as I'd never heard of it and it does have a really stupid title! However, I'm glad I did as it turned out to be one of the best anime series I've ever watched. It has a unique feel to it - a dark and oppressive atmosphere. The muted colour scheme and unusual angles make it reminiscent of a dream sequence and the dark tone of the storylines result in a show that I feel will suit teenagers and adults much more than the younger people who appreciate shows like Naruto.

Perhaps the most interesting element of the show is the patchwork storyline which is pieced together throughout the show. Each episode is a self-contained story about a troubled teenager whose life has been affected by a pillar of light which appeared in the sky one evening. Each story follows one character, but often their paths cross with other characters who may or may not become important in later epsiodes. The actions of one character may have repercussions several episodes later, for another character that they may never meet.

There are supernatural, psychological and science fiction elements to the show and these are handled well and subtly integrated into the overall story. As with many Japanese anime, you often feel quite puzzled by what is happening up until the very end. There is also a constant theme of meditations on fate and death and a strong emphasis on the interconnected nature of our actions.

Overall, a mature and interesting anime that transcends its stupid title to become one of the most engaging shows to have come from Japan recently.
