The quality of the audio is what you expect from a VHS to DVD transfer. Saying they are in college doesn't change that. These are high school students and everyone knows it. Two episodes the word 'college' is uttered enough that you could make a killer drinking game from it. The issue with that one is that it isn't subtle. Fearing a lawsuit or a mob of angry parents companies would either put warning labels or lie about the ages. Which if you haven't been living under a rock is the general age of most protagonist. See during my golden age of anime watching there seemed to be a paranoia about none adult characters (read: high school or younger) engaging in possible sexual acts. Case in point is the blatant dialog changes.

If you weren't going to put any work into the dub why not just make it a subtitle only release? But then again common sense would have done wonders for the company. I never got their practice of finding nobodies to fill in their bargain bin titles. And I can say it's one of the worst CPM has provided. I know you want to ask me how the English dub is. The second episode fairs better in terms of quality but by that time the damage is done. There are several close up shots were they are the focus point.

Then the team went to color and just didn't give a shit. In fact they were all fused together like the artist forgot to draw lines to separate them. One of the most noticeable oddities is that Manami's feet were drawn with no toes. The corner cutting in animation is almost impossible to ignore.

Sprite was an OVA series which would lead you to assume that the art would fair better then say a TV series. While I don't want to spoil how Nami came about existing just know that you'll smack yourself in the forehead by the time the anime concludes. And yes Nami is just a loud slutty alter ego. Which excuse my lack of memory for the 1976 made for TV film but I don't remember that story being about a teenage girl with a slutty split personality. The front of the DVD includes a quote to a review that states 'The Anime Equivalent of Sybil'. And the split personality angle is played about as elegant as a pregnant cow being used as a wrecking ball. The only real twist on this formulaic plot is that Manami has a split personality named.get this Nami. Main character Tooru moves in with his cousin Manami because his mother is ill (Personally, I felt his mother was just sick of his shit). Popping this disc in will do more to explain why the anime bubble popped about a decade back then anything else you will read online.

In how companies like CPM would license anything cheap regardless of it's value or quality in the late 90s and early 00s. It just maybe one of the worst things I have sat through, but unlike forgettable crap this has stuck with me since the moment I watched it. I don't know what I was expecting from this title but what I discovered maybe pure gold. A bargain bin title from the now defunct Central Park Media.

But nothing and I mean nothing prepared me for Sprite: Between Two Worlds. In the twenty or so years I have watched anime I have come across some rather unusual titles.
