review by
Mike Haberfelner

Saki (Yoko Minamino) is tasked with warning another students president of yet another high school, Miki (Akiko Suzuki) of the threat of evil organisation Seiroukai, but by now she has it up to here as she knows her mentor Nishiwaki (Keizo Kanie) is keeping information about her father from her, and thus she decides to quit. Meanwhile, Seiroukai's leader Kage no Soto (Naoto Nagashima) orders one of his men, Kuroda, to win over Miki and her school for the organisation's cause, and Kuroda has a plan to use Saki to drive Miki into Seiroukai's arms. So he has her bitten by vampiric Namera, and once bitten, Namera's victims can be mind controled by a certain type of flute playing. As a result, Saki pays a visit to Miki only to viciously attack her, and it's only because Saki's grossly outnumbered by the entire student body of Miki's scholl that Saki can't do any real damage - but as a result, Miki lends an even more open ear to Kuroda and Seiroukai. Then Saki's sidekicks Yukino (Akie Yoshizawa) and Okyo (Haruko Sagara) show up at Miki's school, and at first they're treated like enemies - until they promise to fight Saki, who's obviously gone rogue, by Miki's side. But facing Saki, she almost kills Yukino and Okyo and it's only luck that they get away - to run into Miki, who has by now found out that Saki's controlled by Namera and promises to help Yukino and Okyo to get their friend back, even bringing an antidote to Namera's spell. But in the final fight, the bottle carrying the antidote is destroyed, and ultimately it's a good luck charm given to her by Yukino that helps Saki remember who she really is, and that breaks the spell. And Miki now vows to help Saki in her efforts to defeat Seiroukai ...

 

A double-episode that moves deep into horror territory - which is something that goes surprisingly well with the premise, even if (or maybe because) the episode's not entirely camp-free. But some atmospheric sequences paired with the fight scenes, for a change between Saki and her best friends, make this one a really fun entry into the series.
