Daiundokai Anime Type Drama Med Except for the silly premise, it's a solid Story with realistic characters Comedy Med/High The 3 roommates crack me up Action Low/Med Cat fights!!! SciFi Med/High Set in a spacestation Ecchi Med/High Keep an eye on the blue haired girl There is only one reason I watched this. Evil Ifurita from El Hazard! This is another one of those Striving to be the Best type of Animes. It's nice, and damn is the Ifurita clone nasty! I liked it but Stellvia and Angelic Layer are better. I love the Engrish mispellings..hehe Athletess. Last updated Monday, December 05 2005. Created Monday, December 05 2005.

Daiundokai Have to admit I was skeptical when afriend got me started on Anime with this series. I was fortunate that he owned them all though, becauseonce I got started I couldn't stop watching! At one point I was actually yelling at Akari to get to it and throw her heart into her race! I liked the conflict between good (Akari, Ichan, etc.) and Bad (Various Competitors), and the way that there were multiple bad guys/girls. (It wasn't like watching a series where there is onlyone bad guy who keeps coming back, over and over.)Definitely worth the time, and worth the money- I had to buy a copy for myself!

Daiundokai A-KA-RI!! I love this series. Why? I can't put my finger on it. It's a very... simple... story, but with a lot of emotional tug. The characters, despite their funky hair styles, are real. This is also a nice comedy. Even my seven year old brother enjoyed this one (uhm, be warned, though: nudity of sorts), especially because of "Kris Kristopher." ^_- Last updated Monday, September 06 1999.
