Title (English) | Cipher |
Title (Japanese) | Cipher | Advertising Fantasy Novel |
Notes | From a manga by NARITA Minako, published in LaLa magazine. OVA, 40 min. |
Classification | shoujo |
Synopsis | Pretty-boy Cipher attends high school in New York, sometimes posing as his twin brother Shiva, a famous actor. Shiva wanders moodily through the streets, then the scene shifts to the set of his latest movie, an American football tale. We get a fake "making of" documentary and trailer. Then Shiva returns from his wandering and cooks breakfast. |
Review | A curiousity, featuring, in the original Japanese version, English dialogue with Japanese subtitles. There is "bonus" material in the form of "making of" for the video itself,
plus crew interviews and live action shots from the New York locations that inspired the video. A bad dub job and terrible soundtrack make this hard to watch but Narita fans will probably enjoy it. (KEM) |
