Corrector Yui Review

Were coming to the end of Digital Week and were down to our final two reviews starting with Corrector Yui.

In a world where the internet is run by a huge network called COMNET, there will inevitably be people wanting to disrupt said network so this is when the Correctors come in, champions of defending the COMNET; one such Corrector is Yui, a computer illiterate young girl who gets dragged into fighting the viruses of the enemy organization Grosser by accident and becomes an online magical girl in the process.
Well this is certainly a unique idea, so much so that no one knows about this, seriously even the dub was made by complete unknowns, yet you go to any European Country (Not the UK) and most anime fans there will tell you who Corrector Yui is. It's a real shame because Corrector Yui as a Magical Girl series is quite underrated.
Apart from the fact that every transformation sequence can be taken dangerously out of context, Corrector Yui works by taking the Card Captor Sakura approach to the online world genre and running well with it, the art style is attractive, Yui is very approachable and the side characters do well to support the story but it does run longer than it needs to and the amount of times it plays safe doesn't really give it enough weight to challenge it's more popular rivals. So if you can find it, give it a try, but it's a safe bet that you'll likely forget this anime exists.
Final Verdict: A horribly underrated series but sadly the chances of this show getting another shot at the States is the same as admitting 4Kids is a good company.
