The first episode of this OVA series, itself less than a half hour, may
not be enough to judge this series, but it looks promising. This light
police drama and love comedy tells the tale of Tashita Yumi a
22-year-old rookie cop fresh from the academy. She has a chance re-encounter
with a chance high school encounter, and in both times she mistook the
man for a felon. He is in fact Ichidaiji Toru, a sly stage magician with
whom she becomes fast friends, and a date leads them to catch a crook,
leaving Yumi looking forward to solving crimes with Toru and whatever
else may blossom between them. Everyday is Sunday (Mainichi ga Nichiyoubi) has a charm in its
everyday-life, sitcom-like simplicity. It's a welcome break for those
immersed in more serious and fantastic genres. It has many refreshing
aspects, such as a romantic comedy about young adults instead of teens, or
lead characters that are not resentably over-attractive. The first OAV was produced in 1990. There are at least six episodes,
and it is based on a manga by Takada Yuuzo, creator of 3x3 Eyes and
All-Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku Nuku. Although I can't find any real
information web sites, here is a description from the Anime Web Guide and
a review from the SciFi site. |
