Synopsis

When private detective Gokuu Fuurinji is contacted by Ryoko Kadoma about locating her missing brother, Ryuu, Gokuu knows this is no normal case. Ryuu was the victim of a cruel genetic experiment and will soon become a mindlessly violent superbeing without proper treatment. Armed with the world's most powerful supercomputer implanted in his left eye, the detective sets out to locate the missing boy. But as the case becomes more complex, Gokuu is forced to question whether it is possible to save Ryuu or if he will have to kill him before he fully transforms.

I did a review of part 1, part 2 goes further in the story, wich goes more in to an emotional side since a fine lady is involved.

Its clear cut this sequel to the first Midnight Eye is not as good. It has many of the elements, if not almost all of them that makes Yoshiaki Kawajiri's ovas so brilliant. It has the gorgeous, sharp character designs that lend themselves to the witty yet steadfast heroes and the badass femme fatales we love to root for. It pits them against an unscrupulous, calculating asshole of a villain with a dash of high level crime/government corruption that adds a menancing edge and dispells petty cartooniness they may have.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS.


SUMMARY: Goku Midnight Eye 2 starts out just as goofy and fun as the first part, but devolves into a way more grim and frankly unpleasant watch that was not my cup of tea.

If you want something in the vein of the fun and goofy action from the first OVA, you will be very disappointed, as this one contains way less (unintentional?) comedy and way more questionable drama.
