Plot[edit]

Main article: List of 3×3 Eyes characters

3×3 Eyes follows the adventures of Pai, the last remaining Sanjiyan Unkara (三只眼 吽迦羅, three-eyed mandala), and her new Wu (Chinese reading of 无; an immortal companion), Yakumo, as they desperately try to find a magical artifact, the Ningen no Zō, to make Pai human so that she can forget her troubled past. Pai travelled to Tokyo searching for the artifact, but shortly after she arrived, a thief snatched her backpack and cane from her. A teenage lad, Yakumo, tackled the crook and managed to get the pack back for her, though the thief escaped with the cane. Yakumo took her to his work, where Pai was able to get cleaned up, and where she discovered that he was the son of Professor Fujii, an archaeologist she had met in Tibet four years prior. The Professor had been researching the legends of the Sanjiyans and had befriended her and offered to help her find the Ningen, only to fall ill and die. Pai had his last letter to his son in her backpack, which asked Yakumo to help Pai with her quest. Although he did not believe his father's tales of Pai being a monster, he agreed to assist her.

Their discussion was interrupted by news reports of a giant monster flying over the city. Pai recognised the creature as her pet Takuhi, who must have been released from his home in Pai's cane by the thief, and who was now looking for her. Pai set out to retrieve him, with Yakumo close behind. However when Yakumo saw Takuhi fly towards Pai, the lad mistook the beast's welcome for an attack, and shoved Pai out the way; immediately Takuhi ripped into the lad, fatally wounding him. Unwilling to lose the boy she had been hunting for and just located, Pai's third eye opened, and she absorbed his soul. This restored his body, but tied him to her as her undead servant. Linked to her, he can only become human again when she becomes human. In the way of this goal are hordes of monsters and demons from the Shadow World, some desiring Pai's powers, others who seek the Ningen for their own. Yakumo can again become mortal and end his constant need to protect Pai because if Pai dies, then so will he. Along the way, they encounter many followers of the now-dead demon god Kaiyanwang, all of whom wish to kill Pai or siphon off her power in order to resurrect their deity and/or gain immortality.

Manga[edit]

Main article: List of 3×3 Eyes volumes

Written and illustrated by Yuzo Takada, 3×3 Eyes was first published for five chapters in Kodansha's Young Magazine Kaizokuban from December 14, 1987, to April 10, 1989,[4][5] and was later serialized in Weekly Young Magazine from 1989 to 2002.[6][7] Kodansha collected its chapters in forty tankōbon volumes, released from October 17, 1988, to November 6, 2002.[8][9] A limited edition of the final volume was released on the same day of the normal edition containing a video game for PC.[10] Kodansha also released four special edition volumes. The first two were released on April 25, 2002.[11][12] An additional box set was also released on the same day.[13] The remaining two limited edition volumes were released on May 23, 2002.[14][15] The manga was re-released into 24 volumes from August 12, 2009, to July 9, 2010.[16][17] A limited edition of the final 24th volume was released on the same day as the normal edition containing a commemorative art book.[18]

The English-language translation was originally published by Studio Proteus by Innovation Comics in 1991 (resulting in a five-issue miniseries), but in 1995 was published from the beginning by Dark Horse Comics after they purchased Studio Proteus, as well as serialized in Super Manga Blast! magazine.[19] This release altered art to remove several instances of a "penis-like tentacle" emerging from a character's mouth in volume 2, this censorship was done with the approval of Yuzo Takada.[20] A total of eight volumes were published between March 1, 1995, and May 5, 2004.[21][22]

Sequels[edit]

A manga sequel, titled 3×3 Eyes: Genjū no Mori no Sōnansha (3×3EYES 幻獣の森の遭難者), began on Young Magazine Kaizokuban manga website (later renamed e Young Magazine in 2015)[23] on December 26, 2014.[24][25] The manga finished on August 12, 2016,[26] and its chapters were collected in four volumes,[27] released from June 27, 2015,[28] to October 20, 2016.[29]

Original video animation[edit]

Two original video animations (OVAs) series were produced by Toei Animation and its subsidiary Studio Junio. The first, also entitled 3×3 Eyes, was released as four episodes between July 25, 1991, and May 19, 1992.[36][37] Three of the episodes were directed by Daisuke Nishio and one was directed by Kazuhisa Takenōchi. The second, 3×3 Eyes: Legend of the Divine Demon (3×3 EYES 聖魔伝説, 3×3 Eyes: Seima Densetsu), was directed by Takenōchi and released as three episodes between July 25, 1995, to June 25, 1996.[38][39] Both starred Megumi Hayashibara as Pai and Kōji Tsujitani as Yakumo. A four-disc Blu-ray box set, featuring the OVA episodes on the first two discs and the soundtrack on the other two, was released on August 4, 2010.[40]

The first OVA was distributed in the United States by Streamline Pictures, which produced an English dub starring Eddie Frierson as Yakumo and Rebecca Forstadt as Pai.[41][42] The episodes were first released individually on four VHS tapes from November 1, 1992, to June 6, 1993,[43][44] and later combined by Orion Home Video on a single volume entitled 3×3 Perfect Collection, released on LaserDisc on August 24, 1994, and VHS on February 21, 1995.[45][44] An English dub of the second OVA was produced by Pretend Productions, with Frierson and Forstadt reprising their roles, after Orion declined Streamline's plans to produce a release.[46] Orion distributed the first two episodes of the second OVA on individual VHS tapes, but did not release the final episode due to its 1997 bankruptcy.[47][45][42] The six episodes distributed by Streamline and Orion were briefly re-released by MGM until April 1999.[48][49]

In the United Kingdom, Manga Entertainment distributed both OVAs on five VHS tapes from April 5, 1993, to October 14, 1996.[50] Manga's release used the Streamline/Orion dub and included the final episode that was unreleased in the United States.[41] The four episodes of the first OVA were combined into two parts on two VHS tapes and later a single VHS;[51][52][53] the episodes of the second OVA were released individually as the third, fourth, and fifth parts.[54][55][56]

The two OVAs were re-released in the United States by Pioneer/Geneon Entertainment with a new English dub produced by New Generation Pictures that starred Christian Campbell as Yakumo and Brigitte Bako as Pai.[57] Directed by Greg Weisman, the dub also featured Keith David, Bill Fagerbakke, Thom Adcox-Hernandez, and Ed Asner, who appeared with Bako in Weisman's series Gargoyles.[42] Pioneer/Geneon first released the episodes on two two-set VHS tapes and a two-disc DVD set in 2000 and later on two DVDs for each OVA in 2007.[58] Since Geneon's 2007 bankruptcy, the OVAs have been out of print in the United States.[42]

Reception[edit]

As of February 2015, 3×3 Eyes had over 33 million copies in circulation.[82] In 1993, the manga won the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen.[83]

The OVA adaptation had received mixed reviews. Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised both OVAs stating "While not a spectacular series, 3×3 Eyes is nonetheless a very solid production which should entertain those who don't mind high levels of bloodshed and rampant mystical content."[84] Justin Sevakis also of Anime News Network, criticized the artstyle the animation quality of the series, whilst noting that the series is still entertaining.[42] Carlos Ross of THEM Anime Reviews praised the first OVA for its animation and characters, but criticized the story for its "disjunctive nature" and "anticlimactic" ending.[85] For the second OVA, Ross gave the plot a mix review noting that it is more coherent than the previous OVA, but also more confusing.[86] Stig Høgset also of THEM Anime Reviews, gave both the OVAs a more positive review, praising the characters and artwork, but criticizing the ending for it feeling unfinished.[41] Luis Cruz from Mania gave the first OVA a mixed review, stating, "3×3 Eyes has the material to be a classic series [sic] However, the OVA format limits its potential by constraining the amount of time it can spend building the characters and their world."[87] He continued to state for the second OVA, "It only falls short by being hobbled with a story arc conclusion rather than a proper ending" and "the story stands well enough on its own and provides nearly two hours of action, humor, and intriguing mysteries".[88]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Pronounced "Sazan Aizu" in Japanese; "Sazan" is derived from the fact that there are 3 Sanjiyan Unkara with 3 eyes each, "sazan" being how "3 times 3" is pronounced when reciting the multiplication table in Japanese, and also from the transliteration of the English word "southern".[3]
