Comic Party Revolution TV, Vol. 1 - Let's Get This Party
Comic Party Revolution(2005) continues the misadventures of the would-be manga artists from the 2001 broadcast seriesComic Party. Somehow, all the high school comic fans have gotten into college, but it would be a mistake to say they've grown up. Taishi still dreams of ruling the world throughdoujinshi(fan comics), Eimi brags about her supposed accomplishments, Aya hasn't developed any confidence, and Mizuki has become less patient and more aggressive. Aspiring artist Kazuki remains the sanest member of the cast, although that's not saying much. The show has shifted from a spoof ofdoujinshisubculture to an unfocused harem comedy--the girls aren't all in love with Kazuki, although he remains at the center of the story. Fans ofComic Partywill glad to see the familiar characters again, but they'll miss the inside jokes that made the original so much fun. (Rated TV 14, suitable for ages 12 and older: cartoon violence)--Charles Solomon
