AAW: The Abashiri Family Review (1096 words)
Well, the Abashiri Family definitely isn't one of Go Nagai's best, and since his claim to fame is the master of cheese(cake) and sleaze, that's pretty bad.
Even within the school, although we've been told (and shown) in no uncertain terms that the Abashiri family is capable of wiping out entire armies and the high-schooler-in-distress is the most dangerous of the lot, neither she nor the rest of the family seem to be much beyond the level of the villains.
All the Abashiris are appropriately cast (Kikunosuke's tomboy voice in particular) and acted far enough over the top to keep up with the wild visuals, and the same holds for the generic ruffians at the school.
