2.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth the money..., December 29, 2010
This review is from: Psychic Academy, Vol. 1 (DVD)
I haven't bought the series but have watched a friends copy that he downloaded after I read the entire manga series. I was, not particularly satisfied with the quality of the animation or voice overs. The reason the title of my review is "not worth the money.." is because the anime series only covers about half the manga series and the company that made it declared long ago that they weren't going to finish the series in it's entirety. So if you've read the manga, the show only gets to about the island vacation part, then stops. And as some of the reviews have stated its for the teenage boys that want fan-service. It does follow the story pretty well, but doesn't focus on the main character "Ai" as it should. If you want to know the real story just buy the manga. My next statement isn't directed toward any particular seller, but from the years of research trying to find this particular series, just for the sake of owning it, there hasn't been any legally made DVDs of this show. And this is after regularly contacting and searching through the inventories of many respected and known anime retailers about the production and availability of is show.

1.0 out of 5 stars
idiotic drivel intended for teenage boys, April 23, 2006
This review is from: Psychic Academy, Vol. 1 (DVD)
The review title pretty much says it all, but I'll say it one more time; this show is absolutely idiotic. The idea behind it was all right, but the show itself is less about the main character developing his inner powers and following in his talented older brother's footsteps and more about the overly developed figures of his two female friends. Character, dialogue, and art are all pretty lousy. I have no recollection of the music, which means it was at best, unremarkable.
In all fairness, there was one interesting element. In the show, there's a dream that everyone with special powers at some point dreams that involves being on an ordinary beach at sunset. The concept gave the show a nice sense of mystery. However, now I've shared this interesting element with you, so you have even less reason to watch because there really is nothing to it other than that.
I'd recommend this show only to teenage boys who like a lot of fanservice and the one-guy-amongst-lots-of-beautiful-girls theme. Even if you like those things though, there are way better shows to watch than this.

Hate the idea, November 16, 2005
This review is from: Psychic Academy, Vol. 1 (DVD)
Why the heck would I want to pay extra money for the product just so I could get the comic which I already have with it? I asked the seller if there was a version without the comic, but they were like "sorry we only sell it this way."
