Photon - The Idiot Adventure (Rating: 8/10)

Space rebel Keyne Aqua escapes from her evil pursuer, Papacharino Nanadan and winds up on Planet Sandy. On said planet lives Photon. He’s a very sweet young boy, with incredible physical powers. He’s also not very smart. But when the two get married by accident, Photon will do anything it takes to protect Keyne, both from Papacharino and from the evil Galactic Emperor. Joining him is Aun, his high strung, obnoxious, but well meaning (?) childhood friend.

You wanna have some idiotic fun? Well, this is the series. It’s in the title. From the creator of Tenchi Muyo comes this insanity. You’ll laugh with Photon for 5 episodes. What about the 6th one, you ask? Well, that 6th one might be more at ease in a horror drama. Yeah, the Galactic Emperor is seriously fucked up. Photon is incredibly sweet and loyal. So much so that his battle cry is “You made her cry”. If he tells you that, you’re in for a severe beating. Aun’s power is to stop time, but she’s not immune to it. So if Photon wasn’t immune to it, she’s be stuck there forever. That was a pretty good subversion of a useful power. Did I mention there’s nudity? Because there is. Keyne spends almost 2 episodes naked. Yummy. I also love the animation. Lots of details in the movements. They don’t make them like this anymore. Sad.

A/V from R2 DVD. Subs from Niizk.
