The Mirage of Blaze OVA is more intense, better gripping and has better storytelling than the TV Series.

I do have to say that the storytelling in the OVA does a lot more than the TV series to lessen the confusion of us English viewers who are without the new novels or manga to work from. However, if you haven’t seen the TV series you may be a bit confused anyway about what is going on. They don’t go into very noteworthy detail about the backstory of the characters, what happened between them 400 years ago, or even really what happened in the TV series (particularly between Naoe and Takaya) . The only thing they really include from the TV series is the final words between Takaya and Naoe at the very raze of episode 13.

The focus of the OVA is threefold:

First, there is the fresh Feudal Underworld threat, centering around this man, Araki, who bears a striking resemblace to Ayako’s lover from 200 years previously. He is under attack from one of the warring clans, who wish to exhaust him as a sacrifice in order to derive a noteworthy weapon from a sacred relic. Episode one centers around setting up this anecdote (whereas episode two is Naoe/Takaya heavy, and episode three Ayako dominant) .

Second, Ayako. Ayako features dominantly in the OVA. In fact, she practically takes over the third episode with her backstory about this traditional lover of hers. The most human and sympathetic moments in the OVA center around her. While Takaya and Naoe are off being crazy and mean to each other and everyone around them, Ayako is not only the whisper of reason, but of humanity. You’re really going to like her in this one.

And third, the continuing battle between Naoe and Takaya for dominance, respect and like. Takaya is particularly cruel to Naoe in this series, and Naoe for his section, is even more crazy than he was in the TV series. It is almost mindblowing how hard they are both fighting for dominance. Takaya’s last words to Naoe at the demolish of episode 3 about what Naoe has to do to “have” him are striking, and leave the door launch to not only another series, but also limitless potential among fan circles for inspired fiction.

This DVD is definitely NOT recommended for anyone under at least the age of 16, even though the DVD is rated 13+. Deem that melancholy scene between Takaya and Naoe in episode 7 of the TV series and magnify it by ten in the second episode of the OVA. “Unflinching,” “intense” or even “tactless” are genuine words to expend to record what happens. If the homosexual overtones (or for that matter, rape) of the series made you sorrowful, I suggest passing on the OVA. However, pay end attention to the flashback (if you can avoid averting your eyes, it’s dazzling intense in itself) that Takaya has during this scene. It reveals at least allotment of the reason for his reluctance to acquire Naoe’s affections. It is truely insightful for us viewers to work with who only had sketchy details about what happened between the two 400 years ago when they were on opposing sides, and even less about them individually. The whole thing about what Naoe did to Takaya and this woman that he loved (or something) at the time is sidestepped in the OVA, perhaps unfortunately, since I at least needed some clarification.

As for all the other characters from the TV series there is no mention of Takeda, Ranmaru, the Fuuma ninjas or any of our other common badguys. Furthermore, Yuzuru and Chiaka have very minute cameos at the beggining of the first episode, and then we practically don’t perceive them at all afterwards. So, any Yuzuru and Chiaki fans may be disappointed.

The DVD includes textless opening, closing, and three separate interviews with the Japanese utter actors who played Takaya, Naoe and Ayako that were presumably originally released with each episode of the OVA in Japan. The DVD also comes with a bonus animeworks catalogue with some sneak peeks at episode 1 of Samurai Deeper Kyo and Twelve Kingdoms.

We can only hope for more localized Mirage of Blaze in the future. Whether that be more series, or yaoi manga translations or even dare we hope, the modern novels…

Firstly, I’d like to point out that I have been waiting for this DVD ever since I found out that it was in production. I have been a long time fanatic of the Mirage of Blaze (Honoo no Mirage), and I was rather disappointed with the abrupt ending of the first series, Mirage of Blaze TV.

Thankfully, this unique OVA picks up good where the last episode left off.

I was immediately struck by how different the characters seemed. This series digs a lot deeper into the loyal reasons unhurried everyone’s involvement in the Feudal Underworld, especially that of Haruie.

But to be perfectly objective, the accurate driving point of the legend, at least for myself, is the constant battling and overall angst of Takaya and Naoe. Naoe, in particular, seems noteworthy different than he was in the TV series. He begins to fight encourage, in his hold plan, against Takaya’s consistent inability to gain a decision regarding his feelings towards Naoe.

This is the fragment where I express you that if you’re into this series for the yaoi, this is where the getting gets worthy. The insinuating overtones are a thing of the past, and as soon as you perceive the second episode on the DVD, Tiger’s Search For, you’ll gaze exactly what I mean. This DVD, by the plan, is rated 13+. I am almost clear that it is a mistake. Yes, it is that pleasant. It’s no Boku no Sexual Harrassment, but it certainly brightened up my day, week…year, rather.

I’ve only honest received the DVD today, and I’m already in feverish anticipation for the next offering, here’s hoping that it won’t be another two years. Even so, I’ll serene be waiting.
