Well I have now watched all 18 episodes of Corrector Yui that were Dubbed into English.
Well the Dub Viz Media released recorded in the Philippines, there may be another Canadian Dub out there but it's not on the usual sites I use.
Turns out the show wasn't airing at the turn of the Millennium. It seems shows that aired before MAL sometimes get to be all 1 MAL entry even if there was a hiatus.
The 26 episodes where Katsuyuki Sumisawa was the head writer aired from April to October of 1999 and then the Satoru Nishizono episodes aired from April to October of 2000.
What's fascinating about Corrector Yui is that of all the Anime airing on Japanese TV at the turn of the Millennium this one feels like the most spiritually correct to call the First Anime of the 21st Century.
As a Magical Girl Warrior Anime it feels the most like a proto Pretty Cure of any pre 2004 Mahou Shoujo for reasons I might be coving on my Blog in the near future.
And as an Anime featuring Full Dive Virtual Reality it may not be the very first but it presents it as a casual every day thing in an otherwise mostly contemporary feeling world before SAO .Hack or the 6th Detective Conan movie in 2002.
Episodes 5 and 6 of Corrector Yui was it's first two prater and also a very typical Neoliberal take on Environmentalism.
Main reason this show interests me is being the only Magical GIrl show with Katsuyuki Sumisawa as the head writer. After he wrote so many of my favorite Sailor Moon One Offs I'm curious to see how him actually being in charge could hold up.
