3x3 Eyes is driven by a very strong and original plot, but the overall atmosphere is just too gloomy for my taste. Even daytime scenes come off as dark and brooding, somewhat reminiscent of Batman films. The art and animation are okay, nothing to get excited about. Pai's face tends to look pudgy most of the time. The English dubbing is satisfactory though. 3x3 Eyes is a definite blood and gore fest, and the scenes are shown in their full, horrific glory. There are a lot of occult elements like demons, evil spirits, and possession. The romance between Pai and Yakumo develops in a realistic and believable pace. The innocence of the two characters is also a great contrast with the violent setting, giving 3x3 Eyes a certain freshness and distinctive twist. This anime series certainly deserves a look.
