5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody, but still good...., February 12, 2002

By 

Sara (PA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend - Progenitor (Vol. 5) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yes, Aki finally loses his mind and turns into, what the Mikage call, the 'progenitor.' As soon as he turns into the 'progenitor,' he kills his grandpa and sets off to find his woman; Aya(just to remind you, he looks like Aki, but his body is taken over by else). By the end of the tape, a girl named Miori introduces herself as Tooya's girlfriend from a year ago. Tooya is confused by what both Miori and Aya says, but goes with Miori, breaking Aya's heart. But is Miori who she says she is? Or is she just playing with Tooya's amnesia? More plot twists, a little more blood, but still a great series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drama anime style., December 30, 2001

By 

"imoshen3" (California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend - Progenitor (Vol. 5) (DVD)

The progenitor has to be one of the better of the Ceres dvd's yet. In Relic of the Mikage, the original mikage has to some extent gained control over Aki in the same manner as Ceres has to Aya. However, unlike Ceres , Mikage is unwilling to give his host control back. Leaving Aya to come to grips with it.
The return of the First, is a continuation of the Mikage assuming control. And causing a trigger to Toya's memory near the end
Toya's past is one of the more touching episodes to date. Afterall, Aya has a double? no wonder there's confusion. It also gives Toya's story( we finally learn how old he is! ) which is intersting with all of it's drama. Casting uncertainty on the relationship between Toya and Aya. It does leave one to wonder if it is true or another of the Mikage schemes.
I gotta say I have watched this dvd more than any of the other's simply for these episodes. I think this is definatly a must-have dvd.

4.0 out of 5 stars rather disturbing.....o.O, December 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend - Progenitor (Vol. 5) (DVD)

This volume of Ceres WAS a bit strange. Aki's mind finally snaps, and the progenitor of the Mikage family emerges in Aki's place. "Aki" squeezing grandpa Mikage's face after becoming annoyed with his rambling. (Yes, he did die o.O) Later, Aki sees Touya and Aya kissing, then kisses Aya himself. (Very un-brotherly!) Later, Touya and Aya meet a girl who's just a spitting image of Aya. Touya gets smacked by a car, then remebers his past, but he forgets all about Aya and the present. The girl they met is supposedly Touya's old childhood friend, and girlfriend. What about Touya and Aya?
