    Synopsis:

    A fragile equilibrium between the magical and human realms is disrupted when vital magic spheres are lost, scattering across Earth. Tasked with recovery, a diverse team – the battle-hardened Boss, the adaptable Lime, and the shape-shifting Poogie – embark on a perilous mission to retrieve these artifacts before their power destabilizes reality. Their quest leads them into unexpected encounters as the spheres interact with everyday objects, birthing monstrous entities fueled by negativity. The series explores themes of responsibility, coexistence, and the hidden connections between seemingly disparate worlds. Set against a backdrop of vibrant landscapes and bustling cities, the story follows this unlikely trio as they navigate challenges and confront the consequences of a world teetering on the brink of imbalance.

      Before I begin, I must say that this was an unexpected little gem that I just stumbled across via the recommendation of a small YouTuber, Voice Overwolrd (and yes, that is the correct spelling). This is the second time I found myself with the honor of being the first to review an anime on MAL, and as such I want to do it justice and be thorough in the attempt. Without further ado, I hope this review is helpful to whoever stumbles across it next. Jewel BEM Hunter Lime is a charming little 3-episode game adaptation from the late 90s whichreally captures the essential character of anime in that age. It is campy, flashy, and unrestrained in all the ways the medium was back then, while also rising above the baseline with excellent comedic timing, fun visual language, and a story structure which could have remained interesting for 10 more episodes at least if given the chance. However, there are of course some flaws, which may have contributed to its ultimate fate. Beginning with the story, it sets itself up with a simple yet compelling tale of a magic world beyond the human one, with the moon as a monthly portal between them, and these six power gems which fall to earth during a struggle between our main trio and a demon from the magical world. These power gems can absorb the negative energy that humans can passively give off, becoming cute yet often nefarious versions of nearby inanimate objects. This makes for a simple yet consistently entertaining monster-of-the-week format, and while the dialogue can sometimes be a little stiff, it is more often naturalistic, funny, and well-timed. While not every one landed, most of the jokes had me rolling, and reminded me a lot of Golden Boy in their execution. The ones that failed, however, failed hard, and just felt pretty jarring for a show with a typically great sense of humor. nn The art is characteristically 90s, maintaining that quintessential look all the way from the often slender and stylish character designs, to the bright color palate, and even the wonderfully emotive faces, evocative of other titles from this era like Sailor Moon. Overall, even for a smaller project like this one, the effort and talent of the people behind the art really shined through from beginning to end. nn The sound is adequate, with a catchy OP and ED as well as playful synth-heavy music throughout. The voice acting for the dub is fun and energetic, though sometimes pretty clunky and amateurish, which still adds its own kind of charm. nn The characters are perfect for their setting, even if they're not breaking any records for unique execution. I especially thought that Bass was kind of one-note, which is a shame as he's a pretty funny major character. Hard to say who my favorites are here since there's really only two characters that get any amount of significant attention, and that is Lime and Bass, though Lime…
