Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Sixteen-year-old Junta has a problem: whenever he thinks about a girl sexually, he throws up. Yet he's destined to become the Mega-Playboy who will sire 100 sons, who in turn will sire 100 sons apiece, and so on, producing a population crisis in the future. DNA manipulator Karin arrives from the future to prevent him from initiating a personal baby boom. She inadvertently injects him with a compound that periodically transforms the sniveling nerd into a suave dreamboat--creating the very problem she came to solve. Although the maladroit geek who somehow wins a crowd of admiring babes is a standard setup for anime comedies, DNA2 (1994) flopped when it aired in Japan. The biggest problem with the series is that the often nasty violence doesn't mesh with the romantic farce. (Unrated; suitable for ages 16 and older: profanity, brief nudity, risqué and gross humor, violence, violence against women) --Charles Solomon

This review is from: DNA˛ - Metamorphosis (Vol. 1) (DVD)

Presque tout est dit dans le titre de mon commentaire (le męme que pour les autres volumes). J'avais acheté le DVD il y a environ 10 ans et non seulement les raccourcis sont grotesques par rapport à la BD mais les voix américaines sont pitoyables. Seule utilité: j'ai pu parfaire un peu mon anglais... pour un vocabulaire qui me sera sans doute peu utile...

This anime I think it better than "Video Girl A.I" because the CG and story is much more better and funnier. To me, it might consider better than "Chobits". It's story about a girl from the future going back to the past in order to prevent the current losser from ever becoming the MEGA PLAYBOY. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop him complete because she also have feeling for him. When she becoming a MEGA PLAYBOY, his looks and talking style totally change and every girls are falling for him.

I have seen a number of different anime and this one was very original, but unfortunatly it is very cliched--Another story about a "guy who all the women want"--and they take it to new gratuitous levels.
The animation is very good (like Video Girl Ai) and the story is funny as long as you don't mind some of the tastless jokes--like the girl who farts when she's nervous tries to seduce the "Mega Playboy"--I think that says enough.
