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 to begin. 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…

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 and as 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 relatio…

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 of the 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…

Initially airing in 1999 to 2000, Corrector Yui has only very recently been fully translated to English, which is why there hasn't been much discussion or reviews for it.
[Theme and tone]
Despite being of the magical girl genre, this series' thematic probably has a lot more in common with something like Mega Man Battle Network and even .Hack//Sign, rather than the typical magical girl anime. Its thematic similarities to .Hack//Sign extend to some of Sign's darker themes as well. Notably, the uploading of one's consciousness to a virtual world (and the potential consequences that could arise from that) is a major theme in both series.
While this series is pretty light, humorous, and upbeat most of the time, it occasionally has surprisingly dark moments in the story that can range from ser…

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 other 90s 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 ar…
