Review: Miyuki-chan in Wonderland

Miyuki-chan in Wonderland is a Clamp "re-imagining" of the Lewis Carroll books, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

The shows become a montage of beautiful images, almost an anime picture gallery; there is no real plot. It's also quite short (about half an hour long in total). Essentially it's all pure eye candy (but never pretends to be otherwise).

There are some mild bondage elements; this is probably not the anime you should first show to your mother.

Animation is not very smooth but includes some stunning character designs - mostly, it must be admitted, sparsely clad women. The background music is not bad but is pretty repetitive and will get old pretty quickly (particularly if you leave the DVD playing the menu screen).

Fan service, as hinted above, is plentiful. Packaging is a fairly standard DVD box with picturesque cover image.
