This anime looks old and sounds even older. Although the animation and sound quality both come off as rather dated, the former is still quite pleasant whilst the same cannot be said for the latter. The voice acting is also quite unrefined by today's standards, but the sound track absolutely kicks ass, sporting a range of different tracks from oriental style instrumental pieces to jazzy, upbeat vocal songs.

The contents of "3x3 Eyes" reminds me slightly of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", as it involves a couple of people going around killing weird monsters, but it's more bloody than Buffy. The action scenes are pretty awesome, but the storyline's pretty thin: they slay monsters in order to obtain this statue of humanity thing. And then in the next episode, the statue gets lost again so they end up having to do it all over. Yeah... not exactly the most intricate of plots. Just to top it up, it had a pretty crappy ending too. I didn't really like the humour contained in the anime either. The anime's saving grace lies in its central pair of characters - they were very likeable and it was interesting watching their relationship grow.

That pretty much sums it up I think - there's really not much more that can be said about an action heavy OVA that only has 4 episodes. :P
