Six months later I have yet to re-watch it,* but I know if I ever need something silly, simple and harmless, Jungle de Ikou will do nicely. By no means a masterpiece, but at least my money hadn't gone for nothing. ![]() Fortunately, the remaining 2/3 seemed to represent a significant improvement in overall quality. ![]() After watching the first 1/3 of JDI, I felt disappointed and left the disc alone for a week or so before I gathered the courage to see what else I had paid dearly for. Twenty-something dollars for a DVD is a lot of money to me, and when, near the start, I saw one of the charachters run carelessly into a mailbox and bang her head (and I was obviously supposed to laugh), my response was "If this is the level of comedy I can expect, I'm in trouble!" I wondered if it might still be possible to reattach the shrink-wrap and return the DVD for a refund. If I remember right, this was the first example of Anime which I paid full price for, instead of taping it from TV or borrowing it from the library.
