Plot
Main article: List of 3×3 Eyes characters

3×3 Eyes follows the adventures of Pai, the last remaining Sanjiyan Unkara (三只眼 吽迦羅, three-eyed mandala), and her new Wu (Chinese reading of 无; an immortal companion), Yakumo, as they desperately try to find a way to make Pai human so that she can forget her troubled past. Pai travelled to Tokyo searching for the artifact, but shortly after she arrived, a thief snatched her backpack and cane from her. A teenage lad, Yakumo, tackled the crook and managed to get the pack back for her, though the thief escaped with the cane. Yakumo took her to his work, where Pai was able to get cleaned up, and where she discovered that he was the son of Professor Fujii, an archaeologist she had met in Tibet four years prior. The Professor had been researching the legends of the Sanjiyans and had befriended her and offered to help her find the Ningen, only to fall ill and die. Pai had his last letter to his son in her backpack, which asked Yakumo to help Pai with her quest. Although he did not believe his father's tales of Pai being a monster, he agreed to assist her.

Their discussion was interrupted by news reports of a giant monster flying over the city. Pai recognised the creature as her pet Takuhi, who must have been released from his home in Pai's cane by the thief, and who was now looking for her. Pai set out to retrieve him, with Yakumo close behind. However when Yakumo saw Takuhi fly towards Pai, the lad mistook the beast's welcome for an attack, and shoved Pai out the way; immediately Takuhi ripped into the lad, fatally wounding him. Unwilling to lose the boy she had been hunting for and just located, Pai's third eye opened, and she absorbed his soul. This restored his body, but tied him to her as her undead servant. Linked to her, he can only become human again when she becomes human. In the way of this goal are hordes of monsters and demons from the Shadow World, some desiring Pai's powers, others who seek the Ningen for their own. Yakumo can again become mortal and end his constant need to protect Pai because if Pai dies, then so will he. Along the way, they encounter many followers of the now-dead demon god Kaiyanwang, all of whom wish to kill Pai or siphon off her power in order to resurrect their deity and/or gain immortality.

Original video animation

Two original video animations (OVAs) series were produced by Toei Animation and its subsidiary Studio Junio. The first, also entitled 3×3 Eyes, was directed by Daisuke Nishio and released as four episodes between July 25, 1991, and May 19, 1992.[36][37] The second, 3×3 Eyes: Legend of the Divine Demon (3×3 EYES 聖魔伝説, 3×3 Eyes: Seima Densetsu), was directed by Kazuhisa Takenōchi and released as three episodes between July 25, 1995, to June 25, 1996.[38][39] Both starred Megumi Hayashibara as Pai and Kōji Tsujitani as Yakumo.

In the United Kingdom, Manga Entertainment distributed both OVAs on five VHS tapes from April 5, 1993, to October 14, 1996.[50] Manga's release used the Streamline/Orion dub and included the final episode that was unreleased in the United States.[41] The four episodes of the first OVA were combined into two parts on two VHS tapes and later a single VHS;[51][52][53] the episodes of the second OVA were released individually as the third, fourth, and fifth parts.[54][55][56]

The two OVAs were re-released in the United States by Pioneer/Geneon Entertainment with a new English dub that starred Christian Campbell as Yakumo and Brigitte Bako as Pai.[57] Directed by Greg Weisman, the dub also featured Keith David, Bill Fagerbakke, Thom Adcox-Hernandez, and Ed Asner, who appeared with Bako in Weisman's series Gargoyles.[42] Pioneer/Geneon first released the episodes on two two-set VHS tapes and a two-disc DVD set in 2000 and later on two DVDs for each OVA in 2007.[58]

Reception

As of February 2015, 3×3 Eyes had over 33 million copies in circulation.[82] In 1993, the manga won the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen.[83]

The OVA adaptation had received mixed reviews. Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised both OVAs stating "While not a spectacular series, 3×3 Eyes is nonetheless a very solid production which should entertain those who don't mind high levels of bloodshed and rampant mystical content."[84] Justin Sevakis also of Anime News Network, criticized the artstyle the animation quality of the series, whilst noting that the series is still entertaining.[42] Carlos Ross of THEM Anime Reviews praised the first OVA for its animation and characters, but criticized the story for its "disjunctive nature" and "anticlimactic" ending.[85] For the second OVA, Ross gave the plot a mix review noting that it is more coherent than the previous OVA, but also more confusing.[86] Stig Høgset also of THEM Anime Reviews, gave both the OVAs a more positive review, praising the characters and artwork, but criticizing the ending for it feeling unfinished.[41] Luis Cruz from Mania, gave the first OVA a mix review stating, "3×3 Eyes has the material to be a classic series [sic] However, the OVA format limits its potential by constraining the amount of time it can spend building the characters and their world."[87] He continued to state for the second OVA, "It only falls short by being hobbled with a story arc conclusion rather than a proper ending" and "the story stands well enough on its own and provides nearly two hours of action, humor, and intriguing mysteries."[88]

Notes
  1. Pronounced "Sazan Aizu" in Japanese; "Sazan" is derived from the fact that there are 3 Sanjiyan Unkara with 3 eyes each, "sazan" being how "3 times 3" is pronounced when reciting the multiplication table in Japanese, and also from the transliteration of the English word "southern".[3]
