Contains 4 episodes
Red Shoes: Miyu's debut stage performance leaves her feeling out of character!
Your House: The double suicide is an open and shut chase, leaving only one harmless loose end!
Swamp of Promise: Chisato finds her way into a mysterious swamp and into a most unexpected circumstance!
A Supple Face: When you are a ruthless mob boss, beware of unexpected gifts!
Miyu is called the Protector, charged with eliminating Shinma, evil spirits that attack humans, but she isn't particularly effective at the job. In "Your House" she destroys a cat-Shinma only after it's caused four deaths. When another Shinma uses a thug as an assassin, Miyu calmly remarks, "It's not really my concern how many people you have him kill." The storytelling also remains problematic: two teenagers who try to steal the magical red shoes in episode 8 simply disappear; the viewer never learns what becomes of them. Is the little boy guarding the "Swamp of Promise" a Shinma (as Reiha insists), a protective roadside deity, or something else entirely? Toshihiro Hirano (Magic Knight Rayearth) directed both the earlier OAVs and these less dramatic broadcast episodes, based on the manga created by his wife, Narumi Kakinouchi. Unrated; suitable for ages 16 and up: Violence, brief nudity, sexual situations, grotesque imagery. --Charles Solomon
