Corrector Yui

Finally! I've been wanting to give my review on this anime ever since i began watching this wonderful anime and finish it. And now that i've done thoses, i'm ready to give my thoughts on this anime. But first things first, here's the rundown: Corrector Yui is an anime series that aired in 1999 and ended in 2000 and made by noneother than Nippon Animation. I have already mentioned about Nippon Animation multiple times already, so there's no need to introduce them again. The show was created by Kia Asamiya, who has been involved in the anime industry since the 80s. As he's usually known as one ofthe key animation for Fist Of The North Star. But he's also known for creating other series such as Silent Mobius and Compiler. The show had a huge cult following ever since it's airing in other countries like Mexico or Brazil. So what do i have to say about this one? Here's my full thoughts on it: First, the story: The story takes place somewhere in the 2000s. Where the world is dominated with computers and it's massive central network known as "ComNet". Which is linked to each computers all over the world to become a single global computer system and designed to be served as a interest to mankind. However, Grosser, the one supercomputer who manages all of this, decided to take over ComNet and corrupt the entire world with viruses. That's where we are introduced to our main heroine of the show: Yui Kasuga. An highschool girl who wasn't too good at handling computers. One day, she met an corrector software named "IR" who chosen her to become the one who will fix all the wrong doings of Grosser. Now it's up to her to become "Corrector Yui" to find out why Grosser's doing all of this wrong doings and put a stop to his evil schemes and his henchmen. There's also a second part/half of the show that continues the story of the anime after the Grosser Saga, but i won't go into the spoiler territory. The rest is up to you to see for yourselves. Anyway, this anime is absolutely awesome! What i love about the anime is it's worldbuilding surrounding ComNet. We are given more time to see a great variety of networks that Yui and the other correctors visit. Such as the Western Net, the Mystery net, the Adventure Net, the Ocean Net, the Space net and so much more. Not to mention the fact that the story is awesome in it's own right. As the series progesses, we get to learn more about why Grosser and his henchmen would try to take over ComNet and then when we reach to the second half of the show, things starts to get more interesting as we get to know more about the mystery surrounding a certain character that will play a role for the Ai Saga. Also, after the commercial breaks, there's a small section called "Yui's Comic Strip Theatre" which tells a small story in four panels. Which serves a cute way to give us some funny and really adorable small stories to see before getting back to the show. And then we have the characters themselves. Well i can safely say that every single one of them are great. You have some that are serious and others not so much, but they all serve a purpose to the story as the series progresses. There's far too many characters that i know that would take forever to introduce, so i'll just give my thoughts on the main character herself. First you have Yui Kasuga (I call her Yui-chan because she's so cute). What i really love about Yui-chan so much is her looks and her personality. She's such an adorable sweetheart that shows how funny she can be, but at the same time how empathetic she can be for the A.I. programs and does anything she can to help them. She's also quite a charming person who has a will to cheer people up even if people are at their lowest. Also, she's so adorable when she tries so hard to do something as simple as trying to type on the computer which made me smile and giggle. There are also the correctors themselves who also help out Yui in certain situations where she needs the powers to Initialize the bugs. Some would give her water powers, one would give her earth ones and the other gives the fire one. There are also a few differences that makes the correctors standout from each others. For example, Rescue has the power to heal people, while Follow can transform into each people. And then you have the villains themselves. Grosser, as i said before, is one of the main villains of the show and the one who's tired of taking care of ComNet so he decided to take over the world. But then you have his four henchmen. War Wolf, who's one snarky son of bitch who keeps his snarky personality towards his companions, Jaggy, who despite being one by strong man, he's quite knowledgeable one who knows how to prepare himself to fight, Virus, who's the most intelligent one of the group, is armed with light sabers and computer viruses and finally you have Freeze, who's the only female in the group, can use her ice powers to freeze her opponents. each and every characters have their own powers and distinctive personalities on them. Making them all stand out from each others. So what about the animation? The animation here is spectacular even for 1999 ajd 2000. The character designs look really cool, giving each and every characters their own unique style of designs and dresses that they wear. The animation is also pretty great as well. very smooth and gorgeous to look at. Even the worldbuilding in ComNet looks amazing as well. very detailed, basically, the animators took the time to draw certain areas very well. So basically, i barely even seen any errors or goofs in the animation. Even if some episodes don't look as good as the others, still looks good enough to make it watchable. So Nippon Animation really did outdone themselves with the animation here. The sound is also great as well. The music is also pretty great to listen to. Especially the opening and ending theme song of the first half of the show. Which are the most memorable to me. Eien To In Basho is easily one of my favourite opening theme songs of all time. Unlike most of opening theme songs for anime that are given a more upbeat and energetic opening to keep you pumped for what you're about to see, this song is more calm and relaxing to listen. It also helps the fact that the opening animation is pretty good as well. The second opening and ending theme songs are pretty good as well, but nowhere near as catchy as the first and ending theme songs. I only watched the Japanese dub of the anime since i'm more confortable with it than i'd do with any Portuguese dubs. And as far as the voice acting goes, it's pretty great as well. Everyone did a great job giving more life to the characters' voices. Including Makiko Oomoto (Nintendo's Kirby's seiyuu) as Yui-chan. She gave such an adorable voice for her and her performance is very well done. The same can be said with other seiyuus like Kotono Mitsuishi (Sailor Moon's seiyuu) voicing Freeze, Tomohiro Nishimura voicing IR and more. So overall, guys, after finishing the entire anime all the way through, i can safely say that this Nippon Animation's best anime they have ever created and the most original they created. The characters are amazing, the story is awesome and epic, the animation is great, the voice acting is outstanding, the music is awesome and overall, this was a great anime to watch up til the end of the show. Sadly, only 18 episodes has been officially translated by Viz Media and finding the DVDs for theses episodes are very rare to find. But luckily, Old Castle Fansubs did picked up the rest of the show and translated the entire anime for all of us. So you'll just have to torrent theses episodes and watch them for yourselves. But seriously, though, go watch this anime. It's an anime that can easily entertain you through out your time. You won't regret it. And i give this anime an perfect score of 10 out of 10. I think it's an epic masterpiece that i cannot forget! Anyway, this has been my review of Corrector Yui. My name's José Diogo and i'll see you next time.

After 3 years watching sporadically and even theming my profile around it, I finally finished this anime. Corrector Yui is an anime that never really took off stateside with an unfinished dub which is a shame since it has a unique concept with a cyberspace magical girl pretty much acting as an antivirus software...despite said girl being very inept with computers. It's a very fun anime with enjoyable side characters and humor with its character dynamics that fleshes out both the team of heroes and the team of villains, which is always a plus. Yui, our titular protagonist, has a very cute design and attacks andas she gains experience, gets 3 more forms with their own powers that are all distinctly and well designed. Watching her gain confidence in herself as a Corrector and build relationships with her fellow Correctors that are scattered across the world wide web (or ComNet as it's called in-universe) is heartwarming. So, if I'm singing this anime's praises, why the mere 7/10? The answer lies in pacing. The first 25 or so episodes are a solid 8, they strike the perfect balance between being episodic and character-driven and being plot and narrative-driven. The Big Bad has a solid build-up in being a formidable foe and there are some fun unexpected twists in terms of Corrector's and their identities. However, the 2nd half of the show is a solid 6. A new threat and new characters are introduced but the pace slows to a crawl, being heavily episodic and feeling like nothing's happening in the grand scheme of things up until the final 7-8 episodes. The Big Bad is heavily lacking in gradual build-up making the finale feel rushed and new attacks/power-ups come very late into the show, further contributing to that rushed feel, even if there are satisfying and well-earned character development scenes. So, despite having a good concept and cast along with great art and music, the execution could've been better, leading to my rating having mixed feelings.

My holy trinity has always been: Sakura Cardcaptor, Sailor Moon, and Corrector Yui. And even though the first two are massive and loved by many, it's Corrector Yui that holds a special place in my heart I remember it so clearly... every day, very early in the morning, before the sun had even risen, I’d wrap myself up in my blanket, shuffle into the living room with the yellow kitchen light on and the smell of coffee in the air. My mom would be doing the dishes from the night before, and I’d be there on the couch, remote in hand, waiting for the show tobegin. And when that cheerful opening started playing with its colorful vibe: "nas margens de um sonho, Se liga, você já pode ver E pro futuro me virou o olhar, Me fez chegar Num lugar onde o tempo espera" Ah... my heart aches just remembering it. It felt like the whole world got a little bit lighter Corrector Yui wasn’t just another “magical girl show.” She was a normal girl, a bit clumsy, who had to learn how to be brave and face technological problems in a fully digital world — and this was back in the early 2000s, when we had no idea what the internet would become To me, Yui was the perfect mix of heroine and best friend: funny, optimistic, a bit scatterbrained, but with a huge heart Nowadays, when I rewatch a few scenes on YouTube, I still feel the same warmth I did back then. The same sense of hope, of tender adventure, of a world that could be magical — even if the magic was hidden inside wires and binary code... only now, it short-circuits under a flood of tears Corrector Yui may not be the most remembered anime of all time, but for me — for that kid on the couch, with warm coffee in hand and shining eyes — it will always be a treasure 10/10

As of the time of writing this review, the craze in the anime scene is isekai. As of the time of this title's release date, (one of) the craze(s) was the success of massive genre defining titles like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors -- the mahou shoujo genre. This anime original is pretty much exactly a cashgrab akin to today's filler isekai titles that get an anime adaptation. The show's episode and plot structure is episodic with little to no continuity between one episode and the next. The show is effectively a computer virus take on the battle-mahou-shoujo with the same ditzy heroine tropes and other90s comedy tropes. There is virtually little to no backstory or even plot besides transforming every episode to fight monster-of-the-episode about 50+ times. Characterization-wise, there are pretty much nothing but caricatures of the memorable characters of genre. I suppose a child of maybe age 12 or lower may enjoy this anime but for the most part, this show offers nothing that another title of the same genre cannot offer. Moreover it's take on the year 2020's scene of computers is pretty inaccurate (not that the low score had anything to do with this, for more details, see my profile page for the exact rating criteria) and for anyone watching as of the time of this review, you will have a good cringe at what the anime's idea of a computer or advanced AI/technology is.
