Timeless Dreams Anime Blog

Venus Versus Virus is an anime who tries to lure me in with a cool first episode and a cool ED. I have never been so lured into an anime as this one. The first episode was pretty good, and after that you start to hope that it eventually will get better and it will be as good as you expected it to be. But. After a couple of episode you’ll just realise that you have been lured into the anime. There are two things you can do after that conclusion: Drop it, or blog it and have some fun. I have chosen for the blog it option. Because how hard I had to laugh over all the silly stupid events in this anime.

Anyway. This anime is about two girls who are fighting demons that you call Virusses. They are just really evil and need to get killed. The one girl is a real cool girl, without many emotions and she is just cool and harsh. She has a flashlight eye (really! It glows in the dark!) and has a horrible past because of her flashlight eye. Her name is Luchia. After a couple of years of fighting those evil Virusses, something happens and a new girl is introduced: Sumire. Sumire has no spine, whines about everything, has the most annoying friends ever, cries every episode, is scared to death every episode, doesn’t even notice when she almost is murdered by the badguys and she has an evil alterego. When she is shot by an anti-Virus bullet she becomes so evil that she can’t control herself and just wants to kill everyone in her path. That is a nice contrast, and it can work nice on paper.

But. It doesn’t work in the anime. We see Sumire whine about every little event for the first half of the anime and she was so annoying that I almost wanted to twist her neck. She keeps on wondering why this happened to her and bla bla bla. Really annoying. I kept on hoping that she would succeed in growing a spine (she did one episode! But the episode after, she was the same as ever) but unfortunally she didn’t. In fact, the creators gave all their attention to Luchia, a character who was perfectly fine, but they softened her a numberous times. A big mistake. What I would love to see is Sumire in her Berserker mode attacking Luchia and the two of them fighting. We never really saw that one. Unfortunally.

And don’t even get me started about the things you can predict in this anime. I predicted 4 episodes before the conclusion what the plot was going to be and I was right as well! I suck at predicting things so I was really taken back by laugther when I saw that bullshit. Further has this anime a lot of actions that really unnecesarry. For one example, the badguy and one of the goodguys meet in a busy shopping street. One second later they are in a deserted building, overdramatically holding a conversation. There are a lot of stupid deaths in this anime, for one example the minute that Sumire killed a Virus that had possessed a girl of her school. The second after that when her boyfriend hold her once again she completly forgot about that one. The most stupid action will remain that Luchia somehow in one year succeeded to age two years. Yes she did. And god, how stupid was that. And of course, you can already see it in the badguy. He is also pictured in this review. Who on earth would want evil glowing eyes? In fact, in every serious anime that is stupid. But with two different colors.. ^^..

If you ignore Sumire a couple of times and don’t watch her friends at all, this anime is hilarious. It sucks in many ways, but it is so bad, that it becomes really great to see. I recommend this to everyone who wants to critizise an anime, or to a couple of sarcastic friends. It is a great laugh. Because it isn’t meant to be laughable.

This episode: Seeing the complete intro of this anime that lured me into watching, but the second after the intro it becomes garbage once again, seeing people turning into mud for no reason, evil Papa manipulating his own daughter and kidnapping Sumire, taking her fragment and turning her evil, Luchia searching for birthday presents while Sumires friends totally forgot about her and the most messed up ending ever.

Of course Luchia is trying to attack her own father, but he starts babbling once again about the true world. That was to be expected, right. He told her that Lilith sacrifised herself for him and stuff like that. And that Luchia could meet her mama once again if Lucif stole her fragment. And of course Luchia buys it, because of course this world is rotten. The only weird thing remains that we have only seen one example of why this world is rotten and that’s because both Lilith and Luchia were picked on when they were childs because they weren’t believed by anyone. If that is "this rotten world", I should praise them lucky. Anyway. Just at the moment that Luchia was about to offer herself to her father, her flashlight eye began to work once again and guess what. Lilith killed herself in order to protect her Fragment because this is the world where her child lived in. Luchia got angry and Lucif too and he kidnapped Sumire for the next time they meet. Muahaha. Ha. ha.. Oh btw. The woman with glasses who only said 5 lines in the whole anime appeared to be just some mud, just as the boyfriend. Gosh. The Oyaji died as well (who didn’t expect that one) and he just wishes for her to be happy. Gosh.

Luchia went home and was just being sad because Sumire was kidnapped. Instead of going after her she just decides to train her shooting skills. Of course. She isn’t reckless. Lola is meanwhile still eating chocolate, and they discover the birthday present of Sumire for Luchia. Sumire had also written a dramatic note by it and of course it was about how happy she was that she met Luchia.

After that, somehow she got into the same old church of the first episode. That’s why the first episode was so good! It was the bloody ending. Sign. But the moment after they started to fight, Luchia started to whine once again about that Sumire wasn’t herself and that her old self was still in her. Luchia uses her flashlight eye once again (what, why can’t Lucif use that eye of his?) and because of the spirit of Lilith and the Oyaji came, Lucif was killed. The end.

What the bloody hell? We don’t get even a happily running Sumire towards the shop and shouting something like: "TATAIMAAA!" or something like that? How can we expect this to be the ending? What is going to happen with Lola and with Laila? And Sumire and Luchia? How about the Virusses? Ah well. I guess we will never know. This was a good blogging time. But well.^^. This baka episode couldn’t beat the baka-ness of the last one. That really did it.

This episode: Seeing some amazingly stupid events. For example Yoshiki being strong, the most corny stupid evil laugh ever and the true meaning of the worst case scenerio.

Ooh golly this was so stupid that I laughed so hard that I almost fell of my chair. Of course Sumire still believes in her boyfriend and rejects all the arguments that Luchia comes up with, while it is obvious that he tries to kill Sumire. Sumire locks herself into her room and tries to call Yoshiki but gosh I wonder why on earth he didn’t pick up the phone. The next day, Sumire is absent in school and every school tries to call then the company where she works so Luchia knows it too. But why on earth would the school call Luchia? That doesn’t really make sense. Sumire visits Yoshikis school but I wonder why on earth he isn’t familiar with that school…

She doesn’t know that Yoshiki is in fact Aeon (who on earth is that?) and that he is in fact with the badguy for the evil ultimate plan (muahaha) and that he has to witness the worst evil laugh ever. Believe me, two shining flash light eyes is already bad to look at, but if you have two different colors, the fun doesn’t stop.^^

Luchia is meanwhile searching for Sumire and instead of just CALLING her they have to drive dramatically around the city, looking for her. Heck, that was so stupid. Anyway. At least Yoshiki calls her and they come to the museum and Sumire is almost killed there because Aeon wants to become a fossile… Wait a minute. Why on earth does he want to be a fossile? He is a really boring guy. Anyway. The other two side badguys appear and on the moment of truth, Aeon can’t take Sumires fragment. By the way, everything that I have forecasted about the fragments is been right. I guess this anime is really stupid. Aeon really loves her and they are friends again and love each other again. Aeon appears to be really, really strong and wipes the side badguys out. But why didn’t he use that power before..? It was really weird to see him like this. Luchia meanwhile found Sumire and saw the back of Yoshiki and thought: O NO HE IS TRYING TO KILL HER!!! And she stabbed him into the back and Yoshiki dies. But. Who the fck was Aeon anyway? I guess we will never know. Sign. Sumire gets into the Berserker mode after seeing her boyfriend dying the most stupid death ever (really. I have seen much death scenes in anime, but this really does it) and she kills Nahashi! Nooooo…

And of course, the cliffhanger: Lucif. O gosh I have no idea what is going to happen. *cough cough*
This anime is so stupid that it becomes hilarious! Yatta!

This episode: seeing an evil boyfriend trying to harras Luchia, Luchia, Luchia being saved by her Flashlight Eye, Luchia being worried about Sumire for the first time, Sumire still trusting her boyfriend, the Oyaji and Lola searching for Evil Papa, but he finds them before they find him, really beautiful blue curtains^^ and an evil twin brother of the boyfriend.

Venus Versus Virus has some of those episode that I keep wondering of what the bloody hell the creators tried to mean with that one. This is one of that episodes. It was even more stupid then I would have expected, because the boyfriend apperantly has an evil twin who acts the same as the boyfriend and tries to brainwash Sumire and tries to sexually harras Luchia. But that doesn’t make any sense. Because even if he works for Evil Papa, why wouldn’t he manage his own daugther himself and say something like "you have your mothers beauty, but you have inherited my eyes…" Why has the boyfriend take care of the friend of his girlfriend as well? Okay, it makes sense that he has to go after Sumire because that bloody bitch is stupid enough to even be killed byhim without noticing, but why Luchia too? This is ruining the perfect evil plan of Evil Papa. Because Luchia obviously was worried about Sumire because she really likes Sumire and Sumire was thinking and she saw in the ending Luchia pointing a sword against Yoshiki. Maybe you start to wonder if something like that happens..

Meanwhile, Lola and the Oyaji were trying to find that evil papa of Luchia, and just at the point they were going to give up, he stood right before them! And instead of holding a nice little chat at the scenery, they choose to move to a building that isn’t in the area. The chat and the fight is dramatically being hold there. But I keep on wondering. How on earth did they get there? Was it like:
Oyaji: You…
Evil Papa: I have a really nice location for our evil dramatic fight. Want to move over there while we’ll discuss our happy memories together? By the way, how is my daugther doing?
Oyaji: Sounds like a good plan! Where is that building!
Lola: Wait a minute so I can buy some machine guns so I can try to save the day.
Because: How on earth did Lola got those machine guns out of the middle of nowhere?^^ It was so stupid it made me laugh as well. And of course the two of them didn’t get killed because Luchia has to see them and she has to get angry and she has to kill her father. Of course.^^

Another note: What did the creators try to mean with the "house" of Yoshiki? I’m suprised it was managed to not be destroyed untill now.^^ What a prototype of an evil home.^^
And the last, really, really stupd thing: What the bloody hell did they mean with those evil curtains of hell? ^^ Left, right, left, right, left, right, under badguy, drama, left, right, left, right, Evil Papa. ^^ Things like that do not work. ^^. But sure it was funny.

This episode: Seeing the prototype of a "silence before the storm episode", Sumire baking a cake, seeing a feminine side of Luchia (she bakes a cake and goes shopping! Omg!^^), the first fans of Luchia, Sumires first kiss and Sumires boyfriend being possessed by Evil Papa.

Oh golly what an amazingly stupid episode. We already begin with the comment of Sumire that it has been quite peaceful since the last episode so we should already know that this episode was mainly a filler, and after that they are going to the climax. I guess that they had some time left in the anime and tried to fill it with this.^^ But boy, I really had to laugh because of it. It was really stupid. Really!

Namely, because of that Sumire and Luchia are almost having their birthdays, Sumire decides to bake a cake. But Luchia first didn’t want it because her mother passed away on that same day. But Lola convinced her that they have Sumire this year and that they should celebrate it. So Luchia starts to make cakes with Sumire. She screws up several times and it was so fun to see her so clumsy that it was too funny to watch. They even go shopping (lyk omg^^) and meet some friends of Sumire, who invited themselves on the birthday party of Sumire and Luchia. So they start to bake more cakes. Meanwhile, Lola said to the Oyaji that "he was here", meaning the Evil Papa. So they start to investigate. The badguys confirm it so we already know what is going to happen next episode. Sumire meets up with the boyfriend and they talk, but suddenly he is attacked by a virus! Again.^^ After Sumire had shot the Virus to death, she discovers that it was a girl form her High School. She starts to lose herself, and the boyfriends hugs her and kisses her as a thanks that she has saved him and Sumire has forgotten all about the high school girl she just killed.^^ That was so stupid I couldn’t believe it. After she left from her boyfriend, the minute after that he gets possesed by Evil Papa. The timing couldn’t be more perfect.^^

I forecast that the boyfriend is going to do something on the BirthDay Party with the cakes.^^

This episode: Seeing the roles turned! Luchia without a spine and Sumire saving her!

Yes it’s true, and this anime is becoming more stupid by the second. Yatta^^. This episode wasn’t really anything special, it showed just the hatred of Luchia, and I had to laugh somehow because of it. Because it’s so ironical, that Sumire is in fact Lilith, the mother of Luchia. Further the logic of this anime doesn’t really make much sense and every character in this episode was just being reckless.

Luchia was reckless to search fights in her weak condition, saying that she hates the world and even wants to destroy it. Yes sure girl. If you have such a good mother, she probably won’t hate you. Further I find her a bit weird because she blames her father that she has her left eye. Well, you can’t have it all right? And yeah sure, her father is really a son of a bitch, but he can’t help it if he has a left eye that is dominant..? Luchia really needs some common sense. You can’t hate your parents for bad things, because it’s not their fault either. But in Luchia’s case it is worse. She was picked on because of her flashlight eye. And because of that she thought that nobody loved her. How silly girl. Because she has a dear of a mother, an Oyaji with glasses, a soulless figure and a girl who is trying to grow a spine supporting her. And then she still claims that nobody loves her? Well. I think I can’t really blame her that.. If you are loved by a soulless figure I also would think that something is wrong with that..
Luckily, at the end of the episode she is back normal again and promises that she won’t do anything reckless ever again to find her stupid father, probably to kill him. And just let me guess what has happened with Evil Papa? Hm. If I had to guess I would say that Evil Woman With Glasses has frozen him or something like that and killed him.

The next one for being reckless! Sumire! Running away when your boyfriend tries to make up with you and still wants to be with you?… She thinks that she is weak and because of that she can’t protect him. But she sure did the last time?! It’s only because she didn’t want to become a Berserker at the first moment or else she would have kicked Luca’s ass. After that Sumire thinks that when she becomes Berserker she can just walk into the Flashlight Eye Light of Luchia who is trying to destroy the world. Nice plan! But of coourse because her fragment is so special because it’s the one of Lilith, she manages to stop Luchia from destroying the world in a nice background.

Next one: Oyaji. Telling Sumire totally the past of Luchia without asking her and asks them to save each other because the Enemy will go after their Fragments. But wait a minute. Everyone has a fragment! Why go after only the fragments of Luchia and Sumire? And if people change in Virusses after their Fragment is stolen, what on earth happened to Lilith? … A mystery.

And as last: The Badguys. Trying to make a nice plan to attack Luchia when she is on her own, (she was, of course, otherwise we would have gotten something more stupid this episode), and tie her up with Ice. She doesn’t realise that something like Ice can become water. And water doesn’t have the ability to tie people up. After that the badguys think that they can be smart to piss off Luchia, which allows her to releas her FlashLight Eye Power. And they were almost killed. But not totally killed because otherwise we would have seen a different ending. Duh.

I really beginning to like this anime because of its sillyness and stupidity.^^ I wonder what on earth for stupid things they are planning for the next episode.

This episode: seeing Lucia suffer because her mother is killed on Lucias birthday by a crazy son of a bitch that voluntary changed himself into a virus and is her father at the same time, Lola and that other girl are finally explained and a totally flashback that explains everything of what’s important to know for the climax.

Oh no. Finally had some hope high, but this episode made it really worse again, but still. I had to laugh because of it because they have explained a really important plot twist so easily. Look, I will explain it to you. Nakahashi or something like that was with Luchia’s mother and father disciples of a great mage, but he passed away because of old age. Well. That can happen. But there is more! Apperantly, some land far, far away, the True World exist. And don’t let it be the same place that Luchia is seeing in her dreams, because that would be really stupid. A True World with nothing in it, that would be a true world. But let we ignore that for a moment, shall we? This True World can be obtained by the Fragments of people. To get a fragment, you’ll have to kill them and then take that little stone. Well. Luchia’s mother apperantly had a really, really good nice fragment and Luchia’s father was a son of a bitch and went away for a year and leaving his pregnant wife behind. Also, Luchia’s father had also that nice flashlight Eye, so we already know of who Luchia had that nice Eye thingey. Anyway, that father went away for a year and when he came back Luchia succeeded in becoming two years on 7 July so I’m a bit curious about how on earth she did that. That day was her birthday and there was a chocolate cake and she was really looking forward to it. But. Her father changed in a virus that wants to go to the True World because this world is rotten and stuff like that. The funny thing is that we have never got an example in what way and view this world has become rotten so it was a bit weird to hear that. Anyway. Rotten papa killed his own wife in front of his daughter, took her fragment and thought that he would succeed in leaving this world. Yay! But wait, o no! The fragment dissapeared and was reborn again. And the father left, leaving a traumitized daughter behind that is cursed because she is born out of a virus.

But let’s think for a bit. This episode showed that Luchia and Sumire are born on the same day. But. Luchia is older, because she is no longer in high school. Because this anime is really stupid, we can conclude that Sumire has thé fragment and that Luchia will save her most likely from her death and killing her stupid father. An other argument is that Sumire did pick up that stupid broach, and that was a broach that would lead people together. Because Rotten Papa and mother are supposed to have one soul. Luchia has inherited that soul, and Sumire is in fact the reincarnation of Luchias mama. So… Nice situation, right?^^ It is a bit stupid to reveal such an major plot twist like this so I had to laugh about that one.

A few other notes:  For soulless figures, they sure know how to eat candy, don’t they? That Lola and that other one. Also I find it a bit ironic to name a girl who is picked on because she had the flashlight Eye Luchia, which ironically means "Light". Poor girl.  And of course it’s ironic because Luchias mama did forecast that papa would come back. But only to kill his own wife..

This episode: Seeing Luchia almost with a burn-out, the arguments of Sumire becoming stupider, a fuss about a bunch of withered flowers throwing away, seeing a arrogant guy being defeated by a crazy high school girl, the first attempt for Sumire to grow a spine, and Lucia using her left eye for once.

Finally! After six episodes of totally garbage and nonsense, Sumire finally realises that she has to fight and she may succeed in growing a spine. That for once. She was in the beginning of the episode still stupid, claiming that her lovely boyfriend wouldn’t get hurt (what, just a moment before that the Oyaji and Lola claimed that her boyfriend wasn’t hurt at all..) if she fought better. That is, if she became Berserker sooner. But the Viruses cases became worse, and Lucia currently is on a burn-out because she works too much. But noooooo… Sumire still was in her mental depression and she did nothing in the beginning of the episode. For a moment I thought that this episode could be even worse than the last, and that was a really, really bad one. Lucia almost got herself killed with an annoying boy that I will just call Annoying Guy because I find that name appropriate.
But. For some reason was she moved by the flowers of Lucia and she decided to fight for the ones she loves. How touching. However the reasons may be really stupid, but the last part of the episode showed some more potention.

Let’s just ignore the Deux Ex Machine and that Sumire realised on time that Luchia was in danger (but first of course the sentence: "She sure is late, right?" That was really.. #$%@#) but Sumire just shot herself in becoming Berserker and she has some nice water powers too. Finally. She can control her Berserker too, and to make it even better: Lucia realised that she can do something really interesting with her left yellow eye. If you don’t have a light at your home, just ask her to come over.

I don’t want to ask myself why on earth there is a twin version of Lola, and what is a fragment because I fear those things are really going to be stupid. I guess we will find out later in the anime. They are really stupid with those things, so.. But it was nice to see the first attempt of Sumire to grow a spine! And she realises that their company has to be stronger to defeat those evil dudes. Maybe this can become even better.. Maybe. Let’s not have our hopes too high, shall we? At least this is a funny anime to critisize because of the stupidity. 

Oh no. This is getting more horrible by the second. Really, I have never seen a bitch as dumb as Sumire. She is even stupid enough to not realise that her friend is possesed by something evil and keeps on thinking: "She’s acting weird today.."
Sumire, a lesson: When people just change their style of clothing, wanting to go to shops they don’t even know, wanting to drop everything they touch to annoy you and claim that they didn’t do it on purpose, and combine that with that strange power you have, maybe that person can be possesed by something. Just maybe, just a thought. Really. Stupid bitch.

Yes I know my reason for blogging and even watching this. I’m hoping that Sumire and Luchia come together and that Sumire succeeds in growing a spine. Untill now the creators haven’t been able to make this wish come true. Instead, they focus on the boyfriend of Sumire (and sjeesh, she has no taste at all!) and on a new badguy who is just a badguy because he is a badguy and wants to make Sumire suffer. How corny can be your reason>_>. Sumire was also whining that it was her fault that her friends got involved, but well. Indirect. Yes, she DID pick up that brouch.. But direct.. Is she screaming: Hello evil people please attack me and my friends!
No. She is just blaming herself once again. And she needs to see that people can be possesed when they act different and pick a better place to see your boyfriend and she will be fine.. Sjeesh.

But sure, of cooourse is the Berserker much stronger than this other bitch, Luca, expected. How come such a plot doesn’t suprise me. Although it was fun to see Luca being afraid, that bitch. That will teach her. And further, I can’t really tell anything else that was spectecular in this episode.

Another filling episode. This time we had a flashback of Sumire. Once again. She was looking back to the moment that she met Luchia. To put it bluntly: Lucia dropped a broach, Sumire picked it up, virusses started to appear, Luchia took Sumire to the shop. And of course, Sumire started to cry, saying that she didn’t want it, and she borrowed her power to Luchia.

But DAMN it. Sumire’s character is starting to piss me off. And really! There was so many things that Luchia was so great in! And just as many times I’ve seen the greatness in the character of Luchia, just as many times I’ve seen Sumire’s character screwing up this anime. But after all, I’m still keeping up my hope that someday Sumire finally excepts that she can control a great power and then we can finally see some teamwork.

But jeez! The thing that annoyed the most out of me was Sumire saying ‘why does this happen to me?’. The answer is quitte simple: Because she picked up that damn broach. There is no need in asking why things keep happening to you, they are already happening. And Sumire finally needs to accepts this. Luchia, meanwhile, is changing. Her hearth is softening, and it is so fun to see that she doesn’t want to admit it in front of Sumire.^^. This anime can still go somewhere. Well. Anyway. Next episode: New character!  Hopefully she can hit some sence in the head of Sumire.

This case was about a twin. A brother and a sister and like all twins, twins are close. Especially in anime. But the girl fell victim to a virus and her body was taken over. But the weird thing was that she couldn’t recognize it, and when the boy didn’t want to see her anymore, she thought that something was wrong with him and not with her and that she was hated and she came by the shop.

This episode was rather dissapointing. I feel that a lot can be taken out of Venus Versus Virus, but I haven’t really seen the goodyness I have been hoping for. Sumire was just as scared as always. But Luchia was kind of nice and calmed the boy and was really nice to him. And after that she didn’t want to admit to Sumire.^^ That was the nice part of it.

I wish that Sumire finally got more strength and I wish that Luchia would soften some more. They oppose each other completly. BUT if they meet each other on half way.. Oooh the results would turn out fantastically. Another thing that I have been hoping for the first moment I saw the introduction is that Sumire and Luchia became a couple. I see some yuri elements. But now Sumire has a crush on a boy she met isn’t that nice at all. I want Sumire and Luchia together! And then that they are fighting each other. Awesomeness. I believe I have to watch to the first part in which the characters will be shown and after that something happens and then the goodyness can really begin.^^ 

The reasons why I decided to blog this only after episode two is because I adore the OP and the ED. It may be weird reasons, but well. I guessed that I needed something to blog, and Venus Versus Virus has won the game. I believe there is a lot of potention in this anime. I like that, but I haven’t been able to see the real goodyness yet.

This episode focussed on Sumire. And especially her memories. She hates to be the Berserker. Because she is consciencely still there, but her body doesn’t react anymore to her and just wants to kill everybody who comes in her way. She’s frustrated by that, she doesn’t want to be that way. And ad the numbre of tests she has to do, to control that power. She hates it, and becomes some times really down because of it. This time too, and Sumire looks back to her memories. Where she lived with ‘no worries’ on the campus. But that wasn’t true, because she could see virusses.

What I loved of this episode was when Sumires ring fell into a hole, and she had to rush to her class to get her gun. I didn’t pay attention that no one saw her shooting with that thing, but this is an anime and a special moment so I guess that makes sence. She loses all her armour, and in the end, she is forced to shoot at herself. That was so nicely done. That moment made me realise that this can be a really proper anime, but it has its flaws. Let’s blog it.
