Editorial Reviews

Little flies beware. Woven amidst the ruins of an old legacy, a web of treachery awaits the men of the Shinsengumi. Spun by an Onmyou mystic in the charge of a fallen and unbalanced lord, it threatens to destroy the Shinsengumi altogether. At the same time, a man posing as Okita has begun cutting down Shogunate patrols, while a band of Choshu ronin make a brazen assault in broad daylight! But the Shinsengumi have their own web-weavers – and they send a spy straight into the heart of the Choshu clan. As the trap closes its jaws, who is hunter and who is prey? Find out in the fifth spine-tingling, heart-stopping volume of Peacemaker!

4.0 out of 5 stars Peacemaker Vol. 5, August 26, 2005

This review is from: Peacemaker - Spider's Web (Vol. 5) (DVD)

Once again, I am dissapointed (though not surprised) that this disc has only 3 episodes. It does, however, have some good (though short) action scenes. (some SPOILERS ahead)

Volume 5 starts with the weakest sidestory and thankfully ends it. The fallen lord and his "magician" meet their end at last. The concept of having an Okita look alike was interesting for a while, but people mistaking him for the real Okita was just not plausible. The third episode on this disc was the highlight for me. The scene with Susumu and Tetsunosuke arguing was well done and I was happy to learn more of Yoshida's intentions. It did have a bit of a sad ending however, and leaves you with a bit of a cliffhanger.

The animation dissapointed me, though. The rain didn't look great either, but still gave a good atmosphere. As a bonus, the fold-out packet in the case had some good extras and artwork.

If you're still with the series, buy this DVD. Though it is one of the weakest so far, it still has some good things to offer.
