Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues: Complete Collection Blu-ray Review

PLOT SYNOPSIS

Nobody knows what it’s like to be the bad man… except the bad man’s right-hand man, who has to take the boss’ deranged ideas and turn them into functioning plans. So, when the sadistic president of the Teiai Group decides he’s bored with the routine leg breaking and widow/orphan evicting, he assigns the task of coming up with something “special” to his ruthless Number Two, Yukio Tonegawa. But how do you amuse someone who destroys a dozen lives before breakfast? There’s a huge pool of potential victims in the form of TFO’s swollen roster of defaulting borrowers, but if Tonegawa and his team of nearly identical men in black look-alikes can’t create a “game of death” that tickles the boss’ demented funny bones, they may end up playing the game themselves in Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues!

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5

Not much here, only the Clean Opening and Closing Animations.

VIDEO – 4.25/5, AUDIO – 3.75/5

Each of the 24 episodes comes with an English and Japanese language DTS-HD Master Audio stereo tracks which has crisp and clear dialogue with some okay depth relegated to the two channels.

OVERALL – 3.25/5

Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues: Complete Collection is an interesting though fun anime series with your usual ‘zany’ moments, but has its moments and is set apart compared with some of its anime counterparts.
