I saw Countdown Continued right after watching Countdown, and sad to say, I was greatly disappointed. The funny atmosphere of the first Countdown was gone and was replaced by overly dramatic scenes. I’m talking more about Virgin Road. Basically, it had the same charcters as the previous volume’s Alimony Hunter, except there was a total change in their personalities. Of course, they’re still the horniest bunch ever, but this time they’re all so horribly serious and depressed. Akemi, the bride-to-be, is just a bit of an air-head, much like the heroines of your regular h-anime. She doesn’t have the kind of spunk that could rescue the show. Thank gawd for Jun, at least. The wicked little seductress still has the magic she once held in Countdown’s Alimony Hunter. Perhaps, she is the only one in this presentation who actually has a personality. Other than her presence, everything else in Virgin Road is…bleh.

As for the second episode…For the life of me, I can’t even remember what it was all about. I guess it’s supposed to be funny, but under the circumstances, I just can’t bring myself to laugh. If you saw Countdown and you want to find out what the second volume is all about, by all means buy it. However, if you like the first one, I must warn you that watching Part 2 might well destroy your enjoyment of the first.
